ESMA SULTAN

Esma Sultan suits a group of up to fourteen guests who want a crewed week on the water aboard a relatively new vessel. Completed in 2018, she is a modern gulet and a motor sailor, 41 metres long with an 8-metre beam. Six crew run the boat, so guests can spend their time on deck rather than on logistics.

Accommodation comprises seven cabins: one master, four doubles and two twins. No VIP cabin is listed, so the master is the principal larger space. The doubles and twins let couples, families or mixed groups divide up without sharing, and fourteen guests across seven cabins leaves each party its own door.

Life on deck centres on the sun mattresses and a deck shower, which suit long afternoons at anchor and a rinse after swimming. Snorkelling equipment is carried for time in the water. Onboard equipment includes a computer, television, DVD player, VCR and FM radio, and the full list of toys and tenders is available on request.

Esma Sultan is available for charter from May to October in Turkish waters and the wider Mediterranean. Her cruising areas run from the Bodrum Peninsula through Göcek and Fethiye, Marmaris and Datça, and Kaş and Kekova, with the Dodecanese also in range. The six-person crew comprises a captain, chef, deckhand, two stewards or stewardesses and a housekeeper.
