What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
12 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for groups Babylon is a solid choice if you're chartering with friends or family, five cabins sleep up to 12 guests, and the gulet format naturally encourages socializing on deck. She's based with Barbaros Yachting, a reliable Turkish operator, so expect good local knowledge and support.
Well-equipped vessel You've got the essentials covered: water maker and generator mean genuine independence, snorkeling gear keeps everyone entertained, and the dinghy opens up anchorages beyond the main marina. Built in 2014, she's modern enough to be comfortable without feeling like a floating resort.
No deposit required The zero deposit is genuinely helpful, one less financial barrier when coordinating a larger group charter, especially if you're flying in from the US or Europe and juggling multiple bookings.
One realistic caveat We don't have pricing or base location details here, so you'll need to contact Barbaros directly to understand the total cost and sailing area. Turkish gulet charters vary wildly depending on season and itinerary, so get a full quote before committing.
