Her Story

Rara Avis represents the epitome of Turkish craftsmanship, a 33-metre gulet that embodies the perfect balance between traditional design and contemporary comfort. Her graceful lines and classic proportions speak to generations of maritime heritage, while her thoughtful interior design creates an atmosphere of refined elegance that transforms every voyage into an extraordinary experience.

The vessel's layout maximises both privacy and social interaction, with expansive deck areas that flow seamlessly from intimate conversation corners to grand dining spaces. Her impressive beam provides exceptional stability and generous interior volumes, ensuring guests enjoy the utmost comfort whether at anchor in a secluded cove or under way to the next magical destination.

What truly distinguishes Rara Avis is her attention to detail and commitment to creating memorable experiences. Every element, from her traditional rigging to her modern amenities, has been carefully considered to provide guests with an authentic yet luxurious charter experience that captures the romance of sailing the Mediterranean while delivering the comforts expected of a world-class yacht.

Under the care of her experienced crew of six professional mariners, Rara Avis offers more than mere transportation—she provides a floating sanctuary where guests can disconnect from the everyday world and reconnect with the timeless pleasures of life at sea.

The Onboard Experience

Timeless Elegance at Sea

Where traditional charm meets modern comfort in perfect harmony.

Aboard Rara Avis, every moment unfolds with the gentle rhythm of Mediterranean life. Her expansive deck spaces invite guests to embrace the full spectrum of yachting pleasures, from sunrise yoga sessions on the foredeck to twilight cocktails in the comfort of her shaded dining area. The vessel's traditional design creates natural gathering spaces that encourage connection and conversation, while providing intimate retreats for those seeking quiet contemplation.

Her well-appointed galley serves as the heart of the vessel, where skilled chefs create culinary masterpieces using the finest local ingredients. The covered dining area offers respite from the Mediterranean sun while maintaining connection to the sea, creating the perfect setting for leisurely meals that stretch long into the evening. For those seeking adventure, the yacht's collection of water toys and tender service ensures easy access to hidden beaches and secluded swimming spots.

The traditional rigging and classic lines of Rara Avis provide not just aesthetic beauty but also the authentic sailing experience that distinguishes gulet charters from conventional motor yachting. Her experienced crew understand the art of sail handling and can offer guests the thrill of participating in the age-old tradition of working a sailing vessel, creating memories that last a lifetime.

Private Quarters Above the Waves

Six beautifully appointed cabins designed for comfort and tranquillity.
