Why Kos Gulet Charter?
When planning a Kos gulet charter, you have the opportunity to experience the Turkish Blue Voyage tradition among Greece’s Dodecanese islands. From the moment you depart Kos Marina, you set sail into the blue of the Aegean on the Teak deck of your wooden gulet.
The gulet perfectly matches the character of this region. Crafted by master Turkish boatbuilders of the Bodrum school, its wooden texture, spacious deck areas, and traditional lines feel at home in both Turkish and Greek bays. Its ability to comfortably enter shallow coves provides a clear advantage, from the blue lagoon of Pserimos to the volcanic shores of Nisyros.
A one-week itinerary usually unfolds at a calm rhythm. A lunch stop in the fishing villages of Kalymnos, an overnight anchorage in the sheltered bays of Leros, and a crossing to Bodrum to savor the flavors of two cultures at a table set on the Aft Deck. Traveling without haste and absorbing the scenery is the essence of the gulet experience.
The table set on the spacious Aft Deck brings the tastes of Aegean and Greek cuisine to you. Your Chef prepares both olive-oil mezze and Greek salads using fresh ingredients selected from local markets. Stretching out on the Foredeck cushions and watching the starry Dodecanese sky is an essential part of the gulet experience.
With our 5 years of Aegean expertise and Captains who know the region intimately, let’s shape your Kos gulet charter plan together according to your family’s pace.

Season Guide
The gulet season in Kos runs between May and October. Early June and September are the most ideal periods; the sea is perfect for swimming, bays are tranquil, and serenity on the gulet deck is at its peak. During the July–August meltemi season, winds can be stronger; since gulets primarily cruise by engine this is not an issue, though crowds increase. Early-season reservations are recommended.
