SANTA MARIA

Santa Maria suits a party of up to ten guests who prefer a crewed gulet with a calm interior and modern comforts. At 23 metres long with a beam of 5.6 metres, she offers room for a small group without the formality of a larger yacht. Her transom stern gives her the familiar gulet shape, and her character is settled and easy rather than showy.

Five cabins sleep ten: two master cabins and three doubles. Each has an en-suite bathroom with a shower cubicle, and all five are fully air-conditioned, so the sleeping quarters stay comfortable in warm weather. The interior is spacious and equipped with the conveniences expected on a modern charter yacht, giving guests a comfortable base between swims and anchorages.

Life aboard centres on the outdoors. The aft section provides a large and comfortable area for eating and sitting together, while the foredeck has a spacious cushioned area for sunbathing. Sun mattresses and a deck shower are provided, and snorkelling equipment is on board for time in the water.

Santa Maria is based in Bodrum, the centre of traditional gulet building, and cruises the Bodrum Peninsula, Göcek and Fethiye, Marmaris and Datça, Kaş and Kekova, and the Dodecanese. A crew of four looks after guests throughout the charter, handling the boat and the day-to-day running of the trip.
