Finding quality charter yachts for groups over 12 guests is almost impossible outside of Turkey and Croatia – most of the Med simply doesn’t allow it.
But Turkey has one of the few fleets built specifically for larger private charters, making it a top choice for big family trips, retreats, or celebrations. These gulets aren’t stripped-down dorms – many now offer Jacuzzis, water toys, and sleek, modern layouts.
We’ve selected the 5 best large-group gulets available right now, each with space, flexibility, and features that actually work for high guest numbers.
5. NEVRA QUEEN | 20 guests
We like NEVRA QUEEN because she hits the sweet spot for large groups looking for space and flexibility on a Turkish gulet charter.
At 40 m (131 ft) she accommodates up to 20 guests across 10 cabins (2 Masters + 6 Doubles + 2 Twins) – so each guest has an ensuite, air‑con cabin, giving true comfort.
A standout: a Jacuzzi on the fore‑deck and a robust toy‑list (Jet‑ski, ringo, kayaks, water‑ski), meaning the fun factor is high.
Because she was built in 2019, you’re getting relatively new systems and design tailored for charter. If your party is large but wants individual cabins and active water‑toy options along the Turkish Riviera, NEVRA QUEEN is an excellent option.

4. ADMIRAL | 36 guests
ADMIRAL is designed with group comfort in mind: at around 47 m (154 ft) and with up to 36 guests in 16 cabins, she’s purpose‑built for big groups.
All cabins are en‑suite, the layout gives plenty of social deck space (aft dining, upper sun‑decks) and she has water‑toys including canoe, paddleboards, water‑ski etc.
What works: when you charter for a corporate retreat or extended family (30‑36 people), you want scale and layout that still feels pulled together. Admiral ticks that box and offers incredible value in the large‑group sector.

3. BOREAS | 36 guests
BOREAS stands out for combining sheer guest volume with flexibility and upgraded systems. She’s 43 m, with accommodation for up to 36 guests in 16 cabins after a 2023 refit.
Her foredeck is wide enough for 30+ guests to sunbathe simultaneously – a rare luxury on gulets.
While not ultra‑luxury like hyper‑yachts, BOREAS offers strong comfort, lots of cabins, good toy options (water ski, paddleboard, canoe), and the social deck spaces you need for large gatherings. For groups wanting to charter Turkey with ease and scale, she’s a smart pick.

2. KING OF THE SEA | 22 guests
KING OF THE SEA is a next‑level large‑group gulet charter Turkey option. Built in 2024 by Custom Turkey, length 47 m (154 ft), accommodates up to 22 guests in 10 cabins.
What makes her special: a fly‑bridge plus deck Jacuzzi, swim platform at sea level, and 2 jet skis among toys.
For a group of up to 22 (e.g., two extended families or a big friend‑group) who want a newer build, higher‑spec finish, and plenty of social & private space, this is one of the top gulet charter Turkey choices.

1. DE LOVE | 14 guests
DE LOVE is our favorite gulet for 12+ guests in Turkey. At 47 m (154 ft), 7 cabins, she accommodates 14 guests, so she is still not crowded. DE LOVE was built in 2024 – she is in immaculate condition.
For a group who prioritizes luxury, cabin space, toys (2 jet‑skis, wakeboard, paddleboard), and modern design, she’s a really great option.
If your charter is about having a premium experience plus a large group (but not 30+), DE LOVE is the benchmark.
