Gulet Artemis & Simay launched in 2007 and refreshed in 2016, she should, by all rights, be approaching middle age. Instead, she glides through the Aegean with the vitality of a vessel half her years—her teak decks gleaming, her lines crisp, her spirit unmistakably young . At 24 meters, she carries herself with the energy of someone who still believes every anchorage might hide something wonderful .
As a cherished member of the Gulet World fleet, gulet Artemis & Simay invites exactly six guests at a time to rediscover what it feels like to be young—not in years, but in spirit. To wake each morning with no agenda except possibility. To swim in water so clear you forget where your body ends and the sea begins. To fall asleep under stars so bright they seem almost close enough to touch .
The Arithmetic of Intimacy
Six is a magic number on a boat. Not four, where conversations can sometimes feel forced. Not eight, where cliques can form. Six is the perfect equation small enough that everyone knows everyone, large enough that no one feels crowded. Six allows for three couples, or two parents with four children, or a group of old friends who’ve been through enough together that silence is as comfortable as conversation .
Gulet Artemis & Simay was built around this arithmetic. Her 24-meter length provides generous space for six to spread out, while her 6.6-meter beam ensures stability and room to breathe . But more importantly, every decision—from cabin configuration to deck layout was made with the number six in mind. This is a boat designed not for crowds, but for connection .
Three Rooms Where the World Falls Away
Gulet Artemis & Simay welcomes six guests into three cabins, each a carefully crafted sanctuary :
The Master Cabin claims the most privileged position aboard. Here, queen-size comfort meets the gentle motion of the boat at anchor, creating a sleeping experience that guests compare to being rocked in the womb of the sea itself . Waking here, to light filtering through portholes and the distant cry of gulls, is to understand why people return to this life year after year .
The Two Twin Cabins offer flexibility and comfort for friends, siblings, or couples who prefer separate sleeping arrangements. Each features the same attention to detail, the same en-suite luxury, the same deep-sleep-inducing quiet as the master . No one gets the short straw. No one compromises. Everyone simply rests.
Every cabin includes an en-suite bathroom with modern shower, individual air conditioning, and thoughtful touches that transform a cabin into a true sanctuary. One guest, stepping aboard for the first time, reportedly whispered, “This is mine” —not in a possessive way, but in the way you recognize something that fits .
The Saloon That Doesn’t Demand Attention
The interior saloon is refreshingly unpretentious. It doesn’t compete for your attention with flashy entertainment systems or overdesigned furniture. Instead, it offers something rarer: comfortable seating arranged for conversation, large windows that keep you connected to the sea, and the quiet assurance that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be .
A fully equipped kitchen stands ready for your chef to perform daily miracles. Coffee machine, dishwasher, ice maker, refrigerator—all the tools needed to transform fresh local provisions into meals you’ll dream about for years . An LCD TV and DVD player offer entertainment when you seek it, but most guests find the views through those windows—ever-changing, endlessly beautiful—captivating enough .
Three Decks for Three Moods
Gulet Artemis & Simay’s decks have been arranged for the rhythm of perfect days.
The Aft Deck is the social heart of the boat. Shaded and spacious, it hosts the dining table where you’ll gather for meals that become legends. Breakfast as the harbor stirs to life—bread still warm from some village oven, honey that tastes of mountain flowers, olives cured in recipes older than anyone remembers . Lunch at anchor in a secret bay, mezes appearing as if by magic, laughter echoing across water . Dinner under stars, candlelight flickering, the gentle lap of waves providing nature’s soundtrack .
The Foredeck is for sun-worshippers and nappers. Ample cushions invite you to stretch out with a book you’ve been meaning to read for years—or simply close your eyes and let the Mediterranean sun work its ancient magic . This is where you’ll doze, dream, and occasionally stir to ask if anyone wants another drink .
The Bow offers something more intimate. Tucked at the very front, it’s the perfect perch for sunset watching, for quiet conversations, for those moments when you want to be with your thoughts while still being with your people . As the sky transforms through colors no painter could capture, you’ll sit here and feel profoundly, inexplicably grateful .
The Toys That Make You Feel Like a Kid Again
Gulet Artemis & Simay carries everything needed to rediscover the pure joy of playing in water :
Water Skis & Wakeboard – Carve across turquoise waves, feeling the spray cool against sun-warmed skin. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or trying for the first time, the thrill is unforgettable .
Canoe – Paddle silently into hidden coves and sea caves, discovering secret beaches accessible only from the water. You’ll find places so beautiful you’ll whisper, as if speaking aloud might break the spell .
Snorkeling Equipment – Descend into the universe below, where fish wear colors you didn’t know existed and ancient rocks tell silent stories of the sea .
Fishing Gear – Try your luck at catching tonight’s dinner, experiencing the simple pleasure of casting a line and waiting, patient and hopeful .
A speedboat with 75 HP outboard stands ready for both water sports and shore excursions . For those seeking extra thrills, Jet Ski and windsurfer options may be available .
Three People Who Will Become Part of Your Story
Gulet Artemis & Simay’s crew of three—captain, chef, and deckhand—offers something increasingly rare: genuine warmth that no training manual can teach .
The Captain has spent years learning these waters. He knows where the light falls best at sunset, which coves offer shelter from every wind, where the fish hide and where the history sleeps . More importantly, he understands that your dream itinerary may look nothing like anyone else’s. Want to linger longer in that perfect bay? Done. Prefer to skip the crowded harbor and anchor in solitude? Arranged.
The Chef performs daily magic in a galley smaller than most people’s closets. She learns your preferences without being told, remembers how you take your coffee, notices which dishes make your eyes light up . Meal planning happens before your trip—you can bring the groceries or let the charter company handle everything. Whatever’s easiest, they’ll make it work .
The Deckhand moves through the boat like a helpful ghost, anticipating needs before they’re spoken. Drinks appear as thirst arrives. The swim ladder lowers the moment you glance toward water. Sun shades adjust as the day progresses, keeping you comfortable without a word exchanged .
The crew has separate quarters, ensuring your complete privacy throughout the charter .
Waters That Have Inspired Legends for Millennia
From her home port of Bodrum, ancient Halicarnassus, where the Mausoleum stood as one of the Seven Wonders gulet Artemis & Simay grants you access to waters that have inspired travelers for three thousand years .
The Gulf of Gökova unfolds like a living museum: ancient ruins tumbling to the water’s edge, pine-clad islands sheltering bays so clear you can count the fish beneath you . Here, you’ll swim where civilizations rose and fell, feeling connected to something larger than yourself .
The Gulf of Göcek reveals twelve islands, each with unique character and hidden anchorages waiting to be discovered . Fethiye beckons with its iconic Blue Lagoon and Butterfly Valley—accessible only by sea, where a waterfall cascades onto pristine beach and rare butterflies dance on warm currents .
Knidos awaits at the tip of the Datça Peninsula—the ancient Carian city where history meets the sea, where you can walk among ruins that have stood for thousands of years .
For those venturing further, the Greek Islands await just across the water—Kos, Rhodes, Symi—different flags, different flavors, the same stunning sea binding them all .
What Gulet Artemis & Simay Graduates Know
There is an unofficial alumni association of people who have sailed on Artemis & Simay. They don’t have meetings or newsletters, but they recognize each other in subtle ways—a certain look when someone mentions the Turkish coast, a particular smile when recalling a sunset, a tendency to book return trips year after year .
They know things that can’t be learned from brochures:
They know that the best conversations happen with no agenda, stretched across aft deck cushions, punctuated by swims and snacks and comfortable silences .
They know that children who arrived clutching screens will, by day three, be leaping off the boat with shrieks of joy, paddling canoes into hidden coves, falling asleep to the gentle rock of waves .
They know that couples who’ve grown comfortable in routine will find themselves holding hands at sunset, stealing quiet moments, remembering why they fell in love .
They know that sometimes the greatest luxury is simplicity itself—a small boat, six people who matter, and the endless blue of the Aegean .
The Artemis & Simay Invitation
Here’s what the brochures won’t tell you about Gulet Artemis & Simay: she’s not for everyone. As one charter company beautifully put it, she’s “for those who crave simplicity, silence, and real breath. For those who don’t want to look at the sea from afar, but live it up close” .
If that sounds like you—if you’ve been dreaming of a week where your biggest decision is whether to swim before or after lunch, where the only schedule is the sun’s movement across the sky, where six people who matter become even closer—then gulet Artemis & Simay is waiting .
She’s not the newest boat in the fleet. She’s not the largest or the most technologically advanced. What she is, for those who come aboard, is something rarer: a vessel that refuses to grow up, that still believes every anchorage might hide something wonderful, that invites you to believe it too .
Come aboard Gulet Artemis & Simay. The fountain of youth isn’t a place—it’s a feeling. And she’s been bottling it since 2007.
