Salamander is one of the finest examples of a classic Turkish gulet available for private charter holidays in Turkey. Built in traditional Bodrum style and extensively refitted in 2024, this elegant 30-metre yacht combines authentic craftsmanship with modern comfort.
Salamander is a beautifully preserved 30-metre traditional Bodrum gulet that combines authentic Turkish craftsmanship with modern comfort. Originally built in 1996 and extensively refitted in 2024, she remains one of the finest examples of the classic wooden yachts that have made the Turkish Riviera famous.
Designed in the true spirit of Bodrum’s maritime heritage, Salamander offers the charm, elegance, and character that many modern yachts cannot replicate. Her polished wooden hull, traditional sailing profile, and spacious outdoor living areas create an atmosphere that reflects the timeless appeal of a genuine Turkish gulet holiday.
Accommodating up to 12 guests in 6 comfortable cabins, Salamander features 4 double cabins and 2 twin cabins. Each cabin offers private bathroom facilities, practical storage areas, and a warm wooden interior that enhances the authentic onboard experience. The flexible cabin arrangement makes her a popular choice for families, groups of friends, and private charter holidays.
The spacious indoor saloon provides a comfortable retreat during the day, while the fully equipped galley allows the crew to prepare fresh Mediterranean cuisine throughout your cruise. Traditional wood finishes, large windows, and inviting seating areas create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere onboard.
Outdoor living is where Salamander truly shines. Wide side decks, large sunbathing areas, comfortable lounge cushions, and an elegant dining table on deck provide plenty of space to enjoy life at sea. Whether sharing breakfast in a quiet bay, dining under the stars, or simply relaxing while sailing along the Turkish coast, every area has been designed for comfort and enjoyment.
For active guests, Salamander offers a selection of water sports equipment, including wakeboard, water ski, two RS Zest sailing dinghies, paddle boards, and canoes. Her experienced crew of four, consisting of a captain, chef, and two sailors, ensures attentive service throughout the charter.
One of Salamander’s most distinctive features is her commitment to sustainability. An onboard water purification system supplies drinking water through reusable bottles for each guest, helping to reduce plastic waste while supporting environmentally responsible cruising.
For travellers seeking a true traditional gulet experience, Salamander offers the perfect balance of authentic Turkish sailing heritage, comfortable accommodation, attentive service, and unforgettable cruising along the spectacular coastline of Turkey.
“They take very good care of the children, they all ate their meals properly thanks to the team.”
