The Gulet 26 represents a classic archetype of the Turkish motorsailer, a vessel class that has evolved from humble spongediving roots into a global standard for luxury coastal cruising. Typically measuring approximately 26 meters (85 feet) in length, these yachts are defined by their substantial beam, rounded sterns (known as the gulet style) or flat transoms (ayna kıç), and traditional wooden construction. Unlike modern fiberglass production boats, a Gulet 26 is almost always a custom or semicustom build, frequently originating from the historic shipyards of Bodrum or the industrial hubs of Tuzla, such as those produced by SES Yachts. These vessels are designed to maximize deck space and interior volume, prioritizing a "home at sea" experience over raw racing performance. While they carry significant sail plans—often in a ketch or schooner rig—they are functionally motorsailers, relying on powerful diesel engines to maintain schedules during the light summer winds of the Mediterranean.
