Simerenya

A classic large gulet, Simerenya operates out of Marmaris and charters privately for groups of up to 18 guests across 8 cabins.

The 8 cabins (5 Double + 3 Triple) each have their own bathroom, keeping things comfortable even for longer charters. The 4-strong professional crew takes care of everything from anchoring in the right spot to serving meals on deck — guests need only show up and enjoy.

Key comforts include air conditioning, TV, a sound system, an ice maker, sun awnings, and sun mattresses on deck, making the cabin a welcome retreat after a day in the sun. Active guests will appreciate the on-board selection: a dinghy, kayaks, snorkelling gear, ringos, and fishing lines, ready to deploy at each day's anchorage.

From Marmaris, the Hisaronu Gulf — a long sheltered inlet shared between Turkish and Greek territory — is the natural first heading for most charter itineraries. Its calm deep water and forested banks give the week a peaceful opening, with the village of Söğüt and the traditional boatyard at Bozburun providing authentic stops along the way. At the far western end, the Greek island of Symi sits within comfortable afternoon reach.
