Gulet 69 Sailboats for Sale

The Gulet 69, a 21meter (68.9foot) traditional motorsailer, represents one of the most popular size classes in the historic shipbuilding tradition of the Southwestern Turkish coast. Typically handcrafted in shipyards across Bodrum and Bozburun, these vessels are designed as robust "Blue Cruise" platforms that prioritize volume and social space over raw aerodynamic efficiency. While many vessels in this class are custombuilt, the Gulet 69 has emerged as a de facto industry standard for private charters, offering a specific balance of four guest cabins within a hull that remains manageable for a small crew. These vessels are characterized by their massive beam—often exceeding 6 meters—and a choice between the traditional rounded stern (the classic "Gulet" shape) or the flatstern "Aynakiç" variant, which allows for larger aft master cabins. According to editorial insights from De Yachting, the modern 21meter gulet has evolved from a humble spongediving vessel into a sophisticated yacht that bridges the gap between traditional wooden aesthetics and modern luxury standards.
