The Gulet Sunworld 8 is a 30-metre Luxury class gulet operating out of Bodrum yacht charter waters on the Turkish Riviera. Originally built in 2001 and refitted in 2025, the vessel pairs a traditional gulet hull with recently updated systems and finishes. With an 8-metre beam, the layout offers genuine width across both deck and interior spaces, a factor that matters on a vessel carrying up to 19 guests.
This gulet charter suits groups seeking a wide guest capacity without moving into a superyacht bracket. A crew of five, including a captain, chef and dedicated hostess, runs the vessel throughout the week, covering service, housekeeping and galley duties.
Accommodation is split across 5 double cabins and 3 triple cabins, totalling eight cabins for up to 19 guests, a configuration built for larger family groups or joint charters. A master cabin and a separate suite cabin are included within this layout, each fitted with a private bathroom.
Every cabin includes air conditioning, a wardrobe or closet, hairdryer and an in-room safe box, standard amenities that keep the guest experience consistent regardless of cabin size or category.
Deck space is arranged around a sunbathing deck fitted with sunbeds, an outdoor dining area and a barbecue area for al fresco meals. A relaxation music system runs across the open deck, while a dedicated dance floor and event lighting turn the same space into an entertainment area after dark.
For guests wanting a livelier evening, the onboard schnapps bar and cocktail menu are supported by portable party speakers and a music system, giving the crew flexibility to set the mood for both quiet dinners and group celebrations.
The galley is fully equipped and supported by a wine cooler, ice maker, dishwasher, coffee machine and mini bar, covering catering needs for the full 19-guest capacity. Wi-Fi, USB charging ports and wireless charging units are fitted throughout, alongside a GPS navigation system for the bridge.
Watersports gear is included as standard: water ski, paddle board, kayak, canoe, snorkelling gear and fishing equipment are all carried aboard, giving guests direct access to the water without needing to hire separate equipment locally.
Power comes from twin 360 HP Iveco engines, backed by a 22.5 kVA generator for onboard electrics and air conditioning. The vessel cruises at a speed of around 8 knots, in keeping with the steady, comfortable pace expected of a traditional gulet hull rather than a performance motor yacht.
As a Luxury class entry among Turkey gulets, Sunworld 8 combines a wide 8-cabin layout, full watersports inventory and a five-person crew within a single weekly charter rate for the entire vessel. Full board catering, including soft drinks, is available at an additional daily rate per person, with guests free to bring their own alcoholic drinks aboard at no extra charge.
Check-in from 15:30, check-out by 10:00 after breakfast. Charters are typically scheduled from Saturday to Saturday. Prices are weekly for the entire yacht.
