QUEEN OF RTT is a 32 metre custom Turkish gulet from 2009, a warm, richly built motor sailer that carries a large party in real comfort through the clear water of Turkey and the Aegean. She looks after sixteen guests across eight cabins with a crew of six, and her appeal is the generous, hospitable life a modern gulet gives: broad shaded decks for long days in the open air, a jacuzzi and sun pads to spread out on and a deep, timber lined interior below, all finished with the craft and the warmth these Turkish yards are known for. For two or three families or a group of friends travelling together along the coast, she is a relaxed and welcoming choice from the first morning to the last.
Her point of difference is the sheer space and the warmth of the build. Eight cabins and sixteen berths make her a genuine option for a large group, while the handwork of the yard shows in the rich timber, the careful joinery and the easy flow between the decks and the saloon. She motors and sails gently between the islands and settles into a quiet bay with real poise, and an attentive crew of six keeps every part of the day running smoothly, from the first swim off the stern to a long dinner under the stars. The result is a yacht that feels sociable and generous by day and calm and settled once the evening draws in, with the room and the service to make a full week on the water feel effortless for the whole party.
Life in the open air spreads across her broad decks. The aft deck gathers a long alfresco dining table under shade, the natural place to come together for a leisurely lunch or for drinks as the light drops over the bay, while the raised flybridge sets out soft seating, sun pads and a jacuzzi open to the sky, a calm place to lie back in the sun with a clear view over the water. A run of water toys from the swim platform turns every anchorage into a playground, and the side decks give quiet corners to watch the coast slip past. In the warm months the open decks are the heart of the yacht, with clear Aegean water always within reach and the pine covered coast of Turkey close at hand.
Inside, the mood is warm, rich and welcoming, finished in deep timber with soft upholstery and large windows that keep the sea in view from every seat. The main saloon is a comfortable, open living space with soft seating and a curved bar, set close to an interior dining area, so the whole party can gather in warm, sociable rooms when the breeze turns cool or the sun climbs high. The deep wood and the careful handwork give the interior a settled, hospitable feel, a composed counterpoint to the long days spent out on deck and in the water, welcoming by day and snug once the evening comes, with the warmth of the timber running through the heart of the yacht from end to end.
Accommodation is arranged over eight cabins for sixteen guests, set below the main deck where the motion is gentlest. The master takes a generous, private position with a wide bed, warm joinery and its own bathroom, while a run of double and guest cabins, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party. It is a flexible plan built for a large group, the cabins ready for couples, for families and for younger guests sharing, every one finished to the same warm, careful standard. Spacious, richly built and attentively crewed, QUEEN OF RTT is a relaxed and genuinely sociable way to charter Turkey and the Aegean with the whole party kept close.
