As  yacht master, we have accumulated quite an experience working with yachts  built with different construction materials, most of them were built with wooden either west system epoxy lamination or GRP or classic carvel planking.
Timber construction happens to be still favourite material in Turkey for its nostalgic warmth and ease to use in construction, however the interiors and furnitures has always been and always will be preferred to be wooden materials.
So far many  Turkish boat  yards still use quality timber products to build luxury gulets namely oak, chestnut and tropical hardwoods such as Teak and Mahogany.
Turkish Gulets has a well deserved reputation for their stability, spaciousness, seaworthiness and strong building technics that we have sold many turkish gulets to Greece. Italy, Croatia, France, Spain, Dubai, UAE, Thailand etc. Since they are strong , cheap and can sail anywhere in the world with their long keels and economic cruising as well as sailing capabilities up to 35 degrees windward.
Turkish gulets righteously considered to be number one in modern and luxury yachts built with timber, not to forget their economic price and capacity to perform as charter yachts are superior to any other type and/or brand name yachts.
Recently Turkish boatyards have commenced to build steel hull gulets which are considered to be even more efficient and far more economic and faster than wooden hull materials, steel gulets with hydraulic sail riggings and state of the art technologic navigational devices makes them a strong rival to modern motor sailors and even motoryachts, considering utmost safety, comfort and spacious interiors are trademarks of Turkish gulets for the upcoming decades.
Second hand or preowned gulets are the most convenient alternatives to couples who choose to live aboard and for the retired ones who prefer to enjoy the best of everything with peace of mind and pleasure.
