Her Story

Carolina is a 27-metre custom motor sailer launched in the year 2000 from the respected Ethemoglu Shipyard, one of Turkey's most accomplished traditional boatbuilders. Measuring 6.64 metres at the beam, she carries the balanced proportions and craftsmanship that define the finest vessels of her era — a hull built to inspire confidence and comfort in equal measure across the turquoise waters of the Aegean and beyond.

In 2025, Carolina emerged from an extensive refit that touched virtually every corner of the vessel. The interior has been reimagined with an elegant and stylish sensibility — clean lines, quality materials, and a refined colour palette that bathes the saloon and cabins in a sense of quiet luxury. Every surface, fixture, and fitting reflects a commitment to contemporary standards without sacrificing the warmth and character that make a gulet truly feel like home.

Power is provided by a single 450HP IVECO engine, delivering a comfortable cruising speed of 9 knots and a maximum speed of 11 knots — an unhurried pace perfectly suited to island-hopping through the Dodecanese. A 18kW Perkins generator ensures all modern comforts are maintained at anchor or underway, from climate control to full entertainment systems.

Above decks, Carolina is defined by her generous and thoughtfully arranged outdoor spaces. The aft deck invites long lunches and sundowner gatherings, while the foredeck and sun decks offer ample room to stretch out and surrender to the rhythm of the sea. Whether anchored in a secluded cove or moored alongside a vibrant harbour quay, Carolina commands attention with understated grace.

The Onboard Experience

Sun, Sea, and Simple Pleasures

Where every deck becomes a stage for the perfect Mediterranean day.

Carolina's deck layout is a study in generous, unhurried living. The aft deck serves as the natural social hub of the vessel — a shaded gathering space ideal for al fresco dining, evening cocktails, and the easy conversation that flows when the world slows to nine knots. Forward, the sun deck and bow areas offer open lounging under the Aegean sky, with ample cushioned space to read, sleep, or simply watch the islands drift by.

Below decks, Carolina has been equipped with a comprehensive entertainment suite following her 2025 refit. A smart sound system and Bluetooth audio fill every space with music at the touch of a screen, complemented by an iPod dock for those who prefer the personal touch. A satellite television system with LED screens keeps guests connected to the wider world should they wish, while high-speed Wi-Fi internet is available throughout the vessel. The high-pressure thermostatic shower system in every cabin ensures the kind of effortless comfort that transforms a charter into a genuine retreat.

For those drawn to the water, Carolina carries a well-stocked inventory of toys and tenders. A 4.90-metre RIB tender powered by a 100HP outboard engine provides swift and capable shore transfers as well as leisurely exploration of hidden bays and sea caves. On the water, guests can ride the donut (ringo) for exhilarating pulls behind the tender, carve across flat-water bays on water skis, glide silently on the stand-up paddleboard, or discover the underwater world with the full snorkelling gear set. Carolina offers everything needed for days of joyful, active exploration.

Guest Accommodation

Your Private Quarters at Sea

Four elegantly appointed cabins where rest comes as naturally as the sea breeze.

Carolina accommodates up to 12 guests across four well-proportioned double cabins, each refreshed to a high standard during the extensive 2025 refit. The cabin layout is thoughtfully divided between the aft and forward sections of the vessel: two aft double cabins and two forward double cabins, each configured with a principal double bed and an additional single berth — making them equally suited to couples seeking privacy or families and friends travelling together.

Each of the four cabins is finished with the elegant, contemporary aesthetic that defines Carolina's post-refit interior. Quality fabrics, considered lighting, and carefully selected furnishings create an atmosphere of calm and comfort. Every cabin benefits from individual climate control, ensuring a perfect sleeping environment regardless of the warmth of the Aegean summer outside. En-suite facilities in each cabin are appointed with the high-pressure thermostatic shower system that is one of Carolina's signature comforts — a detail that elevates the daily ritual of showering at sea into something genuinely pleasurable.

Greece

Mythology, Made Tangible

Carolina is currently based in Rhodes, placing her at the heart of the Dodecanese — one of the Aegean's most rewarding and diverse cruising grounds. From the medieval grandeur of Rhodes Town, guests can set sail through an archipelago of extraordinary contrasts: the volcanic drama of Nisyros, the windmill-crowned heights of Tilos, the sleepy fishing harbours of Halki, and the pristine, crowd-free anchorages that only a vessel of Carolina's nimble 27-metre length can truly access.

The Dodecanese rewards those who venture beyond the familiar. Symi's neoclassical harbour, painted in ochre and terracotta and rising steeply from the water's edge, is among the most beautiful arrivals in all of Greek sailing. Kos offers both ancient ruins and vibrant nightlife. Patmos, the sacred island of the Apocalypse, provides a quieter, more contemplative counterpoint. Throughout, Carolina's comfortable cruising speed of 9 knots allows guests to cover ground at a relaxed pace, arriving at each new destination refreshed and ready to explore.

With her generous deck spaces, capable RIB tender, and full suite of water toys, Carolina transforms the Dodecanese into a playground as much as a journey. Mornings are for snorkelling crystalline coves; afternoons for water skiing in sheltered bays; evenings for fresh seafood on the aft deck as the sun sinks into the Aegean. Carolina is the ideal vessel for experiencing the true, unhurried soul of the Greek islands.
