Classic Turkish Gulet Salamander
Salamander is a beautifully preserved 30-metre traditional Bodrum gulet that combines authentic Turkish craftsmanship with modern comfort. Originally built in 1996 and extensively refitted in 2024, she remains one of the finest examples of the classic wooden yachts that have made the Turkish Riviera famous.
Designed in the true spirit of Bodrum’s maritime heritage, Salamander offers the charm, elegance, and character that many modern yachts cannot replicate. Her polished wooden hull, traditional sailing profile, and spacious outdoor living areas create an atmosphere that reflects the timeless appeal of a genuine Turkish gulet holiday.
Accommodating Up To 12 Guests
Accommodating up to 12 guests in 6 comfortable cabins, Salamander features 4 double cabins and 2 twin cabins. Each cabin offers private bathroom facilities, practical storage areas, and a warm wooden interior. The flexible cabin arrangement makes her a popular choice for families, groups of friends, and private charter holidays.
The spacious indoor saloon provides a comfortable retreat during the day, while the fully equipped galley allows the crew to prepare fresh Mediterranean cuisine throughout your cruise.

"The refit is beautiful — bathrooms like a boutique hotel. Chef Mehmet's breakfasts alone were worth the flight."
"Three generations, twelve of us, zero stress. Transfers collected us from our front door in Surrey."
"Sailing into Symi at golden hour on a 100ft wooden gulet — unforgettable. Rebooked before we disembarked."
