The Gulet Aquavit
Strictly speaking, a traditional cruising ketch, Aquavit sleeps 8 guests in 2 Master cabins and 2 Double cabins, each with en suite facilities and air conditioning. This charming gulet was built to a traditional Turkish design with a mahogany on oak hull.
The cabins are spacious by gulet standards and luxuriously finished. The saloon and cabins are finished in Mahogany and Rosewood. The saloon is the ideal place to wind down after a hard day’s snorkelling, fishing or sightseeing and features a bar, TV and Hi-Fi.
