Long Island
Long Island is a 39-metre white-hulled motor-sailer, launched in 2019 and refitted in 2022, for up to 10 guests in five en-suite cabins: a full-beam master with a settee under the windows, a VIP, two doubles with king beds and a twin. She's sloop-rigged on a single tall mast and sets a full main and genoa, and under power her twin 650-horsepower engines give an easy eleven knots. Below, high-gloss wood, cream quilted leather and backlit panels put her closer to a motor yacht than a traditional gulet.
She cruises from Bodrum with a crew of six, including a chef, and tows two tenders, the larger one for the water toys: a jet ski, a Seabob, an eFoil, two paddleboards, a kayak, water skis, a wakeboard and a ringo. The flybridge has a U-shaped dining area under a retractable bimini, the aft deck a bar and sunpads, and a curved stair leads down to a broad swim platform.
Cabins
Sample itineraries
Round the Gulf of Gökova
You'll leave Bodrum for Çökertme, where the waterside restaurants lay moorings for boats whose guests come ashore to eat. Across the gulf you'll anchor in English Harbour or the narrow inlet at Löngöz, both closed to commercial fishing. At Sedir Island the day boats leave by early evening, and legend says Mark Antony had the sand on its beach shipped from Egypt for Cleopatra.
Knidos and the Hisarönü Gulf
You'll cross to Knidos and anchor in the southern harbour, below the terraces of the ancient city. East along the peninsula, Bencik is a long inlet that almost cuts the land in two, near where Herodotus says the people of Knidos tried to dig a canal to keep out the Persians. Further in, at Orhaniye, the Kızkumu sandbar runs out into the bay just under the surface.
