Her Story

Born from Turkey's rich maritime heritage, Mehmet Ayaz stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional gulet craftsmanship. Built in 2008 and comprehensively refitted in 2019, this 24-metre vessel seamlessly blends authentic design with contemporary comfort, creating an ideal platform for exploring Turkey's spectacular coastline.

With a beam of 6.6 metres, her proportions strike the perfect balance between intimacy and spaciousness. Twin 280HP engines deliver a comfortable cruising speed of 8 knots, with a maximum speed of 10 knots when needed. Her twin generator system (22.5 kVA and 9 kVA) ensures reliable power throughout your charter, while the comprehensive navigation package includes radar, GPS, electronic mapping, and satellite communication systems.

The yacht's design celebrates both relaxation and adventure, with thoughtfully arranged deck spaces that flow naturally from sun-soaked lounging areas to shaded dining zones. Her traditional rig, featuring mainsail, jib, and genoa, pays homage to Turkey's sailing heritage while providing guests with the authentic Blue Cruise experience. The vessel's 200-litre watermaker and generous fresh water capacity of 4,000 litres ensure complete independence during extended cruises.

Every detail aboard Mehmet Ayaz speaks to her mission of providing genuine Turkish hospitality at sea. From her carpeted interiors to the carefully curated collection of entertainment options, she creates an atmosphere where tradition meets comfort. Her experienced crew of four – including captain, cook, and two sailors – delivers the warm service that has made Turkish gulets legendary throughout the Mediterranean.

The Onboard Experience

Adventures Above and Below

Where every day unfolds with endless possibilities for discovery and delight.

Mehmet Ayaz transforms every moment at sea into an opportunity for joy and adventure. The yacht's extensive collection of water sports equipment includes twin canoes for peaceful exploration of hidden coves, a stand-up paddleboard for early morning sessions, and a thrilling Ringo for family fun. Adult water skis await the more adventurous, while comprehensive snorkelling gear – complete with masks, fins, and amateur fishing equipment – opens the underwater world to curious explorers.

The yacht's outdoor living spaces have been designed for both active days and peaceful evenings. Generous sun mats on the foredeck invite lazy afternoons under the Turkish sun, while the rear deck's comfortable seating group and dining table create the perfect setting for al fresco meals. Retractable awnings provide welcome shade when needed, and the thoughtful arrangement of spaces ensures every guest finds their perfect spot aboard.

Entertainment flows seamlessly throughout the vessel, with deck and saloon music systems featuring Bluetooth, USB, and auxiliary connections. Satellite television keeps guests connected when desired, while traditional table games – playing cards, rummy, and backgammon – encourage convivial evenings under the stars. The fully equipped galley features everything from a dishwasher to an ice machine, ensuring that culinary adventures are as memorable as aquatic ones.

Guest Accommodation

Havens of Comfort

Private sanctuaries where Turkish hospitality meets contemporary luxury.

Mehmet Ayaz provides five beautifully appointed cabins that accommodate up to ten guests in genuine comfort. The yacht features two master cabins, each a private retreat with generous proportions and elegant appointments. These principal suites offer the space and privacy that discerning guests expect, with thoughtful details that reflect the vessel's commitment to quality.

Three additional double cabins complete the accommodation, each designed with the same attention to comfort and style. Every cabin aboard features individual air conditioning for 6-8 hours daily, ensuring restful nights regardless of the season. Private en-suite facilities include shower and WC, while carefully chosen furnishings and quality carpeting create an atmosphere of understated luxury throughout.

The yacht's interior design celebrates both functionality and aesthetic appeal, with dressing tables in each cabin and a welcoming saloon featuring comfortable seating areas, a dining table, and helm station. This thoughtful arrangement ensures that whether guests seek solitude or companionship, Mehmet Ayaz provides the perfect setting for every moment of their Blue Cruise adventure.
