What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
29 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 This 23.5-metre gulet sleeps up to 12 guests across 6 cabins, making it ideal for families or friend groups wanting a shared Turkish coast adventure without the premium price tag. The zero deposit requirement is genuinely attractive for larger parties who've already committed significant money to a group charter.
Classic gulet charm You get the essentials: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, snorkeling kit, a dinghy, and SUP boards for exploring bays, everything needed for a relaxed Mediterranean experience. Built in 1997, this vessel has the authentic wooden-hulled character that makes gulet sailing special, rather than feeling like a floating hotel.
Smart value proposition At this size and cabin count, the daily rate works out generously per person, especially if you're splitting costs across 8, 12 people. The Flaka Sailing operator is established in the region, which suggests reliable local knowledge and decent support during your charter.
One honest note A 1997-build means systems are older and require more attentive maintenance, don't expect cutting-edge reliability or the polish of newer vessels. Budget some patience for potential quirks, and confirm the exact air-con condition before booking, as that's critical on an active gulet summer cruise.
