SailChecker note

28 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 Gelidonya II is a solid choice if you're bringing friends or family, six cabins sleeping up to 12 make it genuinely spacious for a 26-metre gulet. The zero deposit is a nice bonus that removes friction from booking.

Classic Turkish build This traditional wooden gulet has real character with its teak deck and proper sailing heritage. Modern comforts like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a generator mean you're not sacrificing convenience for authenticity.

Fair value at this size For a six-cabin gulet in the Mediterranean, the pricing sits in the realistic range, you're paying for capacity and the gulet experience without premium rates. That said, 1998 means ongoing maintenance is par for the course with these vessels.

One thing to confirm The base location isn't listed in your data, which matters, Turkish gulets typically operate from Turkey's southwest coast (Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye area), which involves a long-haul flight from the UK or US plus a transfer. Before committing, check exactly where she's based and factor in your total travel time.
