Salamander — Authentic Bodrum Craftsmanship with Modern Comfort

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 in 6 comfortable cabins (4 double and 2 twin), each with private bathroom facilities and a warm wooden interior. The spacious indoor saloon and fully equipped galley complete a relaxed, welcoming onboard experience.
