Gulet 26m Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The 26m Turkish Gulet represents a specific and popular size bracket within the traditional wooden motorsailer category, originating from the southwestern coast of Turkey. Historically evolved from the rugged spongediving and trading vessels of the Aegean, the modern 26meter iteration is purposebuilt for the "Blue Cruise" (Mavi Yolculuk) industry. These vessels are typically constructed using traditional plankonframe methods, utilizing durable timbers such as mahogany, pine, and teak. At this specific length, the Gulet transitions from a private family cruiser into a highcapacity commercial charter platform, offering a balance of deck space and cabin volume that remains manageable in Mediterranean marinas. While many are custombuilt in shipyards across Bodrum, Marmaris, and Fethiye, they generally adhere to two primary hull forms: the Karpuz Kıç (rounded stern), which maximizes traditional aesthetics, and the increasingly common Ayna Kıç (transom stern), which significantly increases interior volume and allows for a more spacious master suite aft.
