Gulets may not have the glitz and glamour of superyachts, but they certainly have character.

The quality and finish are certainly scalar; and as diverse as the yachts themselves – there’s no skirting that fact. But for many that’s not that an issue, as to cruise the coastline of Turkey what better way to do it than in a vessel that has a long heritage. The other major perk is that the amount of space on offer easily overshadows that of a sailing yacht of a similar size. The general consensus at the event was that there isn’t a typical gulet charter client; politicians, retirees and party-going 18-30-year-olds. I was continually reminded that guests are just as varied as the yachts themselves, and that the region offers something for everyone.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/226278/image/large-c41599479af5bc7c47c10faa36002c01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/226278">Gulets, of course, aren’t the only way to enjoy the Turkish waters, and <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show - 2022">TYBA</a> represented the scene with the likes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2428" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ADA Yacht Works (Company)">ADA Yacht Works</a>’ 49.9-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7254" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="All About U 249.9m (163'9&quot;)ADA Yacht Works2019">All About You 2</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Custom Line Spa (Company)">Custom Line</a>’s 37-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4397" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Thalyssa37.8m (124'0&quot;)Custom Line Spa2012">Thalyssa</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>’s 37-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quest R36.6m (120'1&quot;)Benetti SpA2008">Quest R</a>.
