Thalasa

Thalasa is an 18-metre gulet, built in 1990, with a beam of 6 metres and a draft of 2 metres. Her proportions suit the sheltered bays and fjord-like inlets of the Turkish Aegean, where a vessel of her size can anchor close to shore and move easily between coves. She accommodates eight guests across four guest cabins, with a crew who look after the day-to-day running of the boat.

Her home port is Göcek, one of the most convenient departure points on the southwest coast of Türkiye. From there she cruises the Turkish coastline, following a route shaped by the weather, the wishes of her guests and the quieter anchorages that suit a boat of her scale.

Thalasa is a gulet in the traditional sense: a wooden-hulled character with an open, sociable feel, designed for days that move at an unhurried pace. Her deck and living spaces are arranged around time outdoors, with a sun deck for lying in the sun and an aft dining area for meals as the coast slides past.

She suits a party who want a relaxed, personal charter rather than a large-scale production. Her eight guests share a small, well-kept vessel, and the emphasis is on comfort, the sea and simple pleasures.
