The "Aegean Clipper" is a so-called Gulet, a typical Turkish sailing ship. "Gulet" has become a synonym for a ship with greatest possible comfort. Originally, these ships were used as transport- and loading boats on the turkish coast. Compared to the Croatian motor sailing yachts, the gulets are comparably comfortable and elegant yachts with an amazing sailing capacity. The sails of the "Aegean Clipper" have an impressive, 600 square metres large surface area, and the superstructure of the ship is therefore kept fairly low.
Ergün, its captain and owner, had four other ships before the "Aegean Clipper", which was built in 1999 and can thus be seen as the highlight of his long experience.
With its 33 m Teak-Deck, 12 double cabins on the middle deck, luxurious interior decoration with a bar and numerous cushioned chairs is the Aegean Clipper a very comfortable boat. The speed of driving is approximately 9 bends when the ship is powered by the engine and about 6-8 bends under sails.
