Private Gulet Samarkand

Gulet Samarkand stands as a testament to superior Turkish craftsmanship and luxury yacht design, offering an exceptional charter experience that combines authentic sailing capability with modern comfort and elegance. Built in 2007 in Bodrum with an epoxy-laminated mahogany hull, this magnificent 27-meter vessel delivers smooth and speedy performance through the water while maintaining the traditional aesthetic that makes gulets so captivating.

Named after the historic Silk Road city famous for its architectural splendor and cultural significance, Samarkand embodies the same spirit of richness and sophistication. The vessel accommodates up to 8 guests in four equally sized, luxurious staterooms, featuring two double cabins and two twin cabins that convert to king-size double berths measuring 200cm x 180cm. Each stateroom offers individual air conditioning controls, en-suite bathrooms with fully enclosed showers in natural stone mosaic tiles, electric toilets, hair dryers, custom bathrobes, and premium duvets.

What sets Samarkand apart from many gulets is her authentic schooner rigging and design specifically intended for sailing, providing guests with genuine wind-powered cruising experiences along Turkey's stunning coastline. The vessel's superior construction ensures exceptional performance and stability, while her thoughtful layout creates distinct zones for various activities and relaxation preferences.

The elegant interior features an open-plan saloon with the galley positioned where guests can watch the skilled chef create Turkish delicacies and mezze, turning meal preparation into an entertaining and educational experience. The saloon includes comfortable seating, dining areas, and entertainment systems including TV, VCR, CD and DVD players for relaxing evenings aboard.

Exterior spaces are equally impressive, with the aft deck featuring an alfresco dining table for up to 8 guests under a sun cover, alongside a large comfortable cushioned area for lounging. The foredeck provides another intimate seating area with a small table perfect for sunset cocktails, while the large forward sunbathing area offers ample space for all guests to enjoy the Mediterranean sun with comfortable mattresses and deck chairs.

With a professional crew of four including an experienced captain, talented chef, skilled deckhand, and dedicated service personnel, Samarkand ensures the highest standards of luxury service and safety. The crew's separate accommodation maintains guest privacy while their expertise in Turkish hospitality, gourmet cuisine, and extensive regional knowledge creates an unforgettable blue cruise experience that exceeds expectations.
