Gulet Remo – A Timeless Bodrum Gulet for Charter

If you are searching for an authentic Bodrum gulet charter experience, few vessels carry as much heritage and character as Gulet Remo. Built in 1986 by Celal Amca and his partner Remzi, this traditional gulet has remained in the same family ever since. Today, nearly four decades later, Gulet Remo continues to sail proudly, offering charter guests not only comfort but also the chance to experience a living piece of Turkey’s maritime history.

A Family Tradition at Sea

For the past ten years, Gulet Remo has been captained by İsmet, the son of Celal Amca, who originally built the yacht. This father-to-son legacy ensures that every voyage is guided with passion, experience, and a deep respect for tradition. Unlike larger commercial yachts, Remo has always been a family-run gulet, preserving the warm hospitality and personal touch that make Bodrum yacht charters truly special.

Traditional Gulet Construction – Built Without Plans

One of the most fascinating details about Gulet Remo is its construction. Unlike modern yachts designed with computer software, Remo was built using the old Bodrum methods. Her keel was first laid, followed by the bow stem and stern post, and then three main frames. From there, Bodrum’s master craftsmen shaped the yacht using skills passed down for generations, without any drawn blueprints.

The result is remarkable. Even today, many experienced boatbuilders agree that Gulet Remo has one of the most ideal hull shapes ever produced in Bodrum, perfectly suited for smooth sailing along the Turkish coast and Greek islands.

The Secret of the Timber

During conversations with her owner, we learned that Remo was built from black pine harvested in the Didim–Akköy region. These timbers were cut in November on nights without moonlight, a traditional method believed to increase durability. The wood was then treated with natural technique — including copper sulfate (commonly known as blue stone) —to ensure longevity.

This craftsmanship has stood the test of time. After nearly 40 years of sailing, only a small portion of Remo’s hull planking has ever needed replacement. She remains strong, seaworthy, and as beautiful as the day she was launched.
