Enquire NowHer Story
Gulet Uluçınar represents the perfect marriage of Turkey's cherished maritime heritage and contemporary luxury charter standards. Built in 2000 and comprehensively refitted in 2022, this 26-metre wooden masterpiece embodies the timeless appeal of traditional Turkish craftsmanship while delivering the comfort and reliability that discerning charter guests expect.
Her recent renovation has enhanced every aspect of the guest experience, from the warm timber interiors to the modern mechanical systems that include a powerful 360HP Baudouin engine and dual Onan generators ensuring seamless operation throughout your charter. The thoughtful design maximises the generous beam typical of classic gulet architecture, creating spacious social areas that flow naturally from the elegant saloon to the expansive deck spaces above.
What sets Uluçınar apart is her authentic connection to Turkey's famous Blue Cruise tradition — that legendary slow-travel philosophy where the journey becomes the destination. Her traditional lines and proportions speak to centuries of Aegean seafaring wisdom, while modern conveniences like comprehensive air conditioning, reliable water makers, and contemporary navigation systems ensure your comfort never compromises the romance of sail-powered exploration.
Based in the historic port of Bodrum, Uluçınar is perfectly positioned to explore the full spectrum of Turkey's southwestern coastline, from the cosmopolitan energy of the Bodrum Peninsula to the pristine natural beauty of the Lycian Coast. Her shallow draught and experienced local knowledge open access to hidden coves and ancient harbours that larger vessels simply cannot reach.
The Onboard Experience
Timeless Comfort at Sea
Where traditional craftsmanship meets modern convenience.
Life aboard Uluçınar unfolds across beautifully appointed spaces designed for both relaxation and adventure. The spacious saloon features satellite television for quiet evenings, while the professional galley is equipped with everything needed for memorable dining — including an espresso machine for perfect morning coffee, a traditional Turkish coffee setup for authentic cultural moments, and a comprehensive filter coffee system to suit every preference.
The expansive deck areas provide multiple zones for different moods and times of day. Forward and aft seating groups, each with their own speaker systems, create perfect settings for sunset cocktails or sunrise contemplation. A washing machine ensures you can pack light and stay fresh throughout your charter, while reliable Wi-Fi keeps you connected when desired — though the timeless games of backgammon and playing cards remain aboard for those moments when disconnecting feels right.
For water-based adventures, Uluçınar carries a well-equipped tender — a 4.2-metre Joker boat powered by a reliable 50HP Yamaha outboard — ensuring easy access to secluded beaches and coastal exploration. Paddle boards and comprehensive snorkelling gear open underwater worlds, while traditional canoes provide a peaceful way to explore hidden coves and coastal caves that define the Turkish coastline.
Guest Accommodation
Your Private Haven
Six thoughtfully appointed cabins where rest comes naturally.
Uluçınar's accommodation philosophy centres on creating intimate retreats that balance privacy with the social nature of charter life. Her six cabins — four elegant doubles and two flexible twins — can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests, making her ideal for families, groups of friends, or multiple couples travelling together.
Each cabin features its own private bathroom and individual air conditioning controls, ensuring personal comfort regardless of the season or time of day. The 2022 refit brought fresh styling and modern conveniences to every guest space, while preserving the warm, traditional aesthetic that makes Turkish gulets so beloved by charter enthusiasts worldwide.
The thoughtful layout provides eight hours of air conditioning daily, perfectly timed to ensure cool, comfortable sleeping during the warmer months while maintaining the authentic experience of waking to sea breezes and the gentle sounds of harbour life. Whether you choose a spacious double cabin for romantic privacy or one of the twin configurations for flexible group arrangements, each space serves as a peaceful sanctuary where the day's adventures give way to restorative rest.

Where East Meets West on Water
From her home port of Bodrum, Uluçınar opens the entire southwestern Turkish coastline to discovery — a region where ancient Lycian cities meet crystalline waters, and where every cove tells stories of civilizations past. The classic Blue Cruise route from Bodrum to Marmaris, Göcek, and Fethiye showcases Turkey's most celebrated charter grounds, where secluded bays alternate with vibrant coastal towns rich in history and culture.
Navigate to the pristine waters around Göcek, where twelve islands create a natural wonderland of anchorages accessible only by sea. Explore the dramatic coastline near Kas and Kekova, where submerged Lycian ruins create an underwater museum visible through the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Anchor in the protected bays of Fethiye, where traditional markets spill down to ancient harbours, or discover the hidden lagoons of Ölüdeniz where paragliders colour the sky above turquoise waters.
Uluçınar's traditional design and shallow draught make her particularly suited to exploring the hidden corners of the Turkish Riviera — those secret anchorages and fishing villages where time moves to the rhythm of the tides rather than the clock. Whether discovering ancient amphitheatres carved into coastal cliffs or simply anchoring in gin-clear waters for a sunset swim, every day aboard brings new connections to this legendary coastline's timeless magic.
