Diva Deniz
Diva Deniz is a gulet of 29 metres, launched in 2008 and much renewed in a refit completed in 2021. She takes twelve guests in six cabins, with a crew of five aboard, and keeps her berth at Marmaris on Turkey's south-west coast. The refit brought her interiors and systems up to date, while the timber hull remains what it always was: broad, steady and built for coastal passages rather than open water.
Cabins
Sample itineraries
The Bozburun peninsula
You'll leave Marmaris and cross to Bozburun, where the sponge boats still tie along the quay. Nights follow at Selimiye, or in the pine-ringed inlet at Dirsek where there is little but a jetty and a hillside. Further south, Bozukkale sits below the walls of ancient Loryma.
The Gulf of Gökova
You'll work west past Datça and turn in at Knidos, where the twin harbours lie under the headland. Anchor off Sedir Island for a morning ashore, then head into the gulf towards Değirmen Bükü. English Harbour holds still water and a good deal of shade.
