Gulet Arseniy was built for feeling for the particular joy of watching your children jump into crystal water for the first time, for the comfortable silence between old friends watching sunset, for the way a glass of wine tastes different when the only sound is waves against the hull.

Gulet Arseniy was built for feeling for the particular joy of watching your children jump into crystal water for the first time, for the comfortable silence between old friends watching sunset, for the way a glass of wine tastes different when the only sound is waves against the hull.
She arrives in your life as a quiet revelation. Perhaps you’ll find her anchored in a secluded bay near Göcek, her traditional lines perfectly framed against cliffs of pine and stone. Perhaps she’ll be waiting in Fethiye harbor, morning light dancing across her polished decks, inviting you closer. However you first encounter Gulet Arseniy, you’ll know instantly: this is a vessel designed not for impressing strangers, but for creating moments that will linger in your heart forever.
The Warmth of Wood and Welcome
Step aboard, and the world you left behind begins to fade. The noise, the rush, the endless demands they recede with each step across her teak decks. What remains is this: the warmth of wood polished by loving hands, the gentle sway of a vessel perfectly at home on the water, the knowing smiles of a crew who understand that your journey began long before you arrived.
Her traditional construction honors the master shipbuilders of Bodrum and Marmaris, with rich mahogany finishes that glow in the Mediterranean light. Every plank, every beam, every carefully curved surface speaks of generations of maritime heritage yet gulet Arseniy wears her tradition lightly, combining classic soul with the thoughtful comforts that modern travelers appreciate.
Sanctuaries for Rest and Renewal
Gulet Arseniy welcomes her guests into cabins designed as peaceful retreats from the sun-soaked adventures of the day. Each space has been thoughtfully appointed with soft linens, warm wooden finishes, and en-suite bathrooms that blend rustic charm with modern convenience. Whether you’re traveling as a couple seeking romantic privacy or with family members discovering the magic of their first blue voyage, everyone finds their own comfortable space to retreat and recharge.
The interior saloon offers a gracious haven when you seek shelter from the Mediterranean sun. Comfortable seating invites lingering conversations, while large windows frame ever changing views of sea and sky. Here, you’ll gather for games on rare rainy afternoons, for pre-dinner drinks when the evening breeze carries a chill, for the kind of meandering talks that happen when there’s nowhere to rush and nothing to do but simply be together.
Decks That Dream Along with You
Life aboard gulet Arseniy truly shines on her thoughtfully designed decks, where every space has been created with relaxation and connection in mind.
The spacious aft deck, shaded by traditional awnings, serves as the heart of your floating home. Here, around a generous dining table, you’ll gather for meals that become cherished memories. Perhaps a leisurely breakfast as the morning sun paints the harbor gold freshly baked bread still warm, local honey golden and fragrant, olives that taste of mountain villages. Or a romantic dinner under a canopy of stars, candlelight flickering as laughter mingles with the gentle lap of waves.
Forward, sun-drenched cushions invite lazy afternoons of pure indulgence. This is where you’ll 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. There’s space for everyone to find their own corner of paradise, their own private patch of deck from which to watch the endless horizon drift by.
As evening approaches, the foredeck transforms into something magical. Here, with comfortable seating arranged for sunset viewing, you’ll watch the sky perform its nightly masterpiece shades of gold, rose, and deepest violet reflecting off water so calm it seems almost liquid glass. These are the moments you came for, the ones that can’t be photographed or described, only felt.
