Overview
A blue voyage is more than a holiday — the freedom to explore hidden coves, swim before breakfast, and dine under the stars.
Salamander is a geographically indicated classic wooden gulet, hand-built at Bodrum Shipyard in 1996 and comprehensively refitted in 2024. With twenty years of expertise behind her operation, she offers a seamless, private sanctuary where every detail is personally handled.
All six guest cabins are en-suite with full air conditioning and newly renovated bathrooms featuring designer fixtures. Her saloon offers a stylish, comfortable space for lounging and indoor dining, while a professional galley is home to your private chef and his bespoke farm-to-table Aegean menus.
Purified drinking water is served perfectly cold through a premium filtration system, with reusable bottles for every guest — eliminating single-use plastics and protecting the waters she sails.

Guest Reviews
"The refit is stunning — the bathrooms feel like a boutique hotel. Chef Mehmet's breakfasts alone were worth the flight."
"Twelve of us, three generations, one unforgettable week. The crew handled everything."
"Sailing into Symi at golden hour on a wooden gulet is something I'll never forget. Booked again before we'd disembarked."
