Her Story

The gulet KANARYA represents the finest tradition of Turkish wooden shipbuilding, originally launched in 1997 and thoughtfully evolved through successive refits in 2014 and most recently 2021. This 27.15-metre vessel showcases a generous 7-metre beam that provides exceptional stability and interior volume, whilst her 540HP Caterpillar engine delivers a comfortable cruising speed of 10 knots across the pristine waters of the Turkish Riviera.

Her most recent renovation in 2021 has transformed the interior spaces with contemporary elegance whilst preserving the authentic character that defines the gulet experience. The vessel's twin 27kVa generators ensure consistent power throughout the charter, supporting comprehensive air conditioning and modern amenities that enhance comfort without compromising the traditional sailing experience.

KANARYA's thoughtful design encompasses dedicated crew quarters for her professional four-member team, including an experienced captain, skilled chef, and two sailors who ensure seamless service throughout your journey. The vessel features both indoor and outdoor dining spaces, an American bar area, and carefully arranged sun-bathing areas with premium cushions and seating that invite relaxation under the Mediterranean sun.

Fully equipped with modern navigational instruments, wireless connectivity, and GSM communication systems, KANARYA offers both security and convenience as she explores the stunning coastlines of Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, and Göcek. Her classic lines and proven seaworthiness make her an ideal platform for discovering the hidden coves and pristine bays that define the Blue Cruise experience.
