What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
26 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 Kugu 1 is ideal if you're bringing a larger party or multi-family gathering, 12 berths across 6 cabins give everyone their own space without the corporate feel of a mega-yacht. The gulet format itself is brilliant for relaxed, social cruising with that classic Turkish wooden-boat charm.
Solid practical setup Solar panels paired with a generator and inverter mean decent power reliability, which matters on longer anchoring days, and air conditioning throughout keeps everyone comfortable in warm Mediterranean weather. Wi-Fi and snorkeling gear are genuinely useful touches for modern charter expectations.
Honest value question Built in 2000, this vessel is honest about its age, you're not paying for new-build gloss, which should reflect in pricing, but do confirm the maintenance records are solid. The zero deposit is refreshingly straightforward, though always check what your actual insurance excess covers.
One thing to verify The base location isn't listed in your data, so before committing, confirm flight connections from your home airport, gulet charters often operate from Turkey's southern coast, which typically means a connection through Istanbul or another hub. Factor that into your overall travel time if you're flying from North America or northern Europe.

Where Charters Went
Yacht charter overnight stops in Kos and the north Dodecanese
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Kos and the north Dodecanese during the 2025 season. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Where charter yachts spent their nights
Kalymnos was the most common first night out, at 29% of trips with a recorded first night. On 55% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 40 to 60 nm, measured in a straight line.

Use the recorded stops as a starting point for your charter plans. The full map gives you more to compare, and you can ask us about a route from Kos and the north Dodecanese for this type of boat.
Where tracked sailing boats went on round trips from Kos and the north Dodecanese, 2025.
These figures are from the nearest charter area with results, Kos and the north Dodecanese, and are not this boat's own record. They cover sailing yachts and catamarans in that area, a different kind of boat from this one.
Top Overnight Stops
- Leros 55%

- Nisyros 28%
The percentage is the share of trips that spent at least one night there.
