Romance

Romance is a 22-metre gulet with a beam of 5 metres and a draft of 2 metres, built in 2007 and refitted in 2015. She carries up to six guests across three guest cabins, and is run by a crew of three, which keeps the day calm and unhurried without any sense of formality. Her wooden-hulled character suits a relaxed pace, and her modest draft allows her to reach quiet anchorages that larger vessels cannot easily enter.

Her home port is Fethiye, and her cruising waters lie within Türkiye. From there, the coastline offers a sequence of bays, pine-fringed coves and small harbours, each within easy reach of the next. Days tend to follow the wind and the water rather than a fixed timetable, with time for swimming, a leisurely lunch on deck and a lingering evening at anchor.

Her interiors are straightforward and comfortable. The cosy saloon and dining area provide a natural gathering place for meals and conversation, and air conditioning keeps the cabins and saloon at a pleasant temperature through the warmer months. The kitchen is fully functional, so the crew can prepare meals with care while guests remain at ease.

Romance suits a party seeking a considered, sociable week on the Turkish coast, with an emphasis on the sea and the simple pleasures of time spent on the water.
