Her Story

Mare Nostrum stands as the crown jewel of the Turkish charter fleet, representing the culmination of the Turhan family's decades-long dedication to gulet excellence. Built in 2008, this distinguished vessel is widely considered one of Turkey's top charter gulets, embodying the finest traditions of Turkish craftsmanship and maritime hospitality.

The gulet's interior spaces offer a sophisticated retreat from the Mediterranean sun, featuring elegant accommodations designed for ultimate comfort. Guests can relax in the cool, air-conditioned interior environment between destinations, enjoying the refined ambiance that has made Mare Nostrum a favourite among discerning charter guests.

On deck, Mare Nostrum presents multiple spaces for outdoor living and entertainment. The expansive sun deck provides the perfect setting for relaxation under the stars or Mediterranean sun, while the outdoor dining areas offer an exceptional venue for al fresco meals. The onboard jacuzzi adds a touch of indulgence, whether enjoyed during sunny afternoons or romantic evenings under the starlit sky.

The culinary experience aboard Mare Nostrum is nothing short of extraordinary, with fine dining representing a luxurious once-in-a-lifetime experience. The professional galley and service create memorable meals that perfectly complement the sailing yacht experience, turning every meal into a special occasion.

Mare Nostrum's heritage runs deep in the Turkish charter industry, representing the latest addition to the Turhan family's fleet of nine gulets. Since establishing roots in 1983 with their first 16-metre gulet, the family has maintained an unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction over personal gains, ensuring that every charter aboard Mare Nostrum exceeds expectations and creates lasting memories along Turkey's spectacular coastline.

Guest Accommodation

Suites Above the Sea

Five beautifully appointed en-suite cabins, each a private sanctuary finished in marble and mahogany.

Mare Nostrum accommodates up to ten guests across five generously proportioned cabins — a layout deliberately conceived so that each guest enjoys an equivalent standard of comfort and privacy. Four of the cabins are configured as master and double cabins with king-size double beds, while one cabin is arranged as a twin with two single beds that offer flexibility for travelling companions or families. Following the comprehensive 2022 refit, all five cabins were fully revamped with high-end amenities and contemporary furnishings, breathing new life into interiors that retain the vessel's signature warmth.

Every cabin is finished to a standard that charter guests have likened to a boutique hotel at sea. En-suite bathrooms are appointed in fine marble, echoing the vessel's broader design language of natural materials crafted with precision. Individual climate control ensures each cabin maintains its own perfect temperature, while entertainment is provided by a satellite LCD television and DVD player. A minibar, hair dryer, wardrobe storage, and a dedicated music system complete the in-cabin amenities — a collection of details that transforms each room from a sleeping quarter into a private retreat to be savoured. The crew of eight to ten professionals is accommodated in four separate crew cabins, ensuring their presence is always available yet unobtrusive.

Cruising Regions

The Waters She Calls Home

From Greece to Türkiye — every voyage, a new chapter.

Mare Nostrum charts a course through Greece and Türkiye, offering an extraordinary range of coastlines, cultures, and hidden anchorages. Each region brings its own character — from secluded coves to storied harbours — woven together by the timeless rhythm of the sea.

Greece

Mythology, Made Tangible

Cross-border itineraries aboard Mare Nostrum are among the most sought-after experiences in the Eastern Mediterranean charter calendar. From her Marmaris base, the Greek Dodecanese Islands lie within effortless reach — and the transition between two ancient cultures, separated by only a short stretch of Aegean water, is one of the great pleasures of chartering in this part of the world. Rhodes, with its magnificent medieval old town, its fortified harbour, and its golden beaches stretching south towards Lindos, makes an unforgettable first landfall in Greek waters.

From Rhodes, Mare Nostrum sails to the hauntingly beautiful island of Symi — a harbour town of neoclassical mansions stacked in tiers of ochre and terracotta above an impossibly photogenic bay — and on to Kos, whose Hellenistic ruins, natural hot springs, and vibrant waterfront lend every visit a sense of effortless discovery. These Dodecanese itineraries, combining the warmth and flavour of Turkish coastal life with the classical grandeur and sparkling hospitality of the Greek islands, represent the Eastern Mediterranean at its most richly diverse — a journey that only a vessel of Mare Nostrum's range, reputation, and spirit could do true justice.
