Guletti Yacht

Guletti Yacht (Guletti Yat İmalat Sanayi) is a Bodrum-based shipyard specialising in custom wooden boatbuilding. Every vessel is described as entirely customer-specific, with the build starting from a preliminary design, a 3D-modelled hull "shell" produced in dedicated boat design software, and structural members such as frames, beams, keel and longitudinals sized according to the rules of the classification society chosen for the boat. Construction uses kiln-dried imported timbers including mahogany, teak and exotic hardwoods, with lamination techniques and epoxy, and the yard states production to international Lloyd's and/or CE standards. Typical build times are given as around 10 months for a gulet, yacht, laminated or transom-stern boat, and 6–12 months for a tirhandil.
