We are more than 12 guests. Should we take one yacht or two in Turkey?

Turkey is unusual here: its large gulets are built for groups, and many carry 12, 16 or more guests on a single boat, so staying together is more often possible than almost anywhere in the Med. For a big family or friends’ trip, that is a real advantage in both cost and togetherness.

Beyond a big gulet’s limit, two boats cruising together, a tandem charter, is the answer, and the short Turkish hops make it easy: the boats share the same bays and the group mixes freely. See what is a tandem charter?

Tell us your headcount and dates and we price both. Our picks for big groups: best gulets for 12 guests.
