Where East Meets West on Water

Esmeralda offers an authentic journey along Turkey's legendary Turquoise Coast, where ancient Lycian ruins crown dramatic headlands and pristine bays shelter beneath pine-clad mountains. From the cosmopolitan charm of Bodrum to the tranquil beauty of Göcek's twelve islands, her shallow draft and intimate scale provide access to secluded anchorages that larger vessels simply cannot reach.

Navigate through the stunning Gulf of Hisarönü, where crystal-clear waters invite swimming and snorkelling among hidden coves. Explore the mystical sunken city of Kekova, discover the vibrant markets of Kaş, or simply anchor in a peaceful bay near Butterfly Valley for an evening of stargazing. The Turkish coast reveals its secrets slowly, rewarding those who take time to explore beyond the obvious destinations.

With her professional Turkish crew's intimate knowledge of local customs, hidden tavernas, and the most spectacular anchorages, Esmeralda transforms a charter into a cultural immersion. Whether seeking the bustling energy of Marmaris or the untouched beauty of Datça Peninsula, this classic gulet provides the perfect platform for discovering Turkey's maritime heritage.
