Sea Dream gulet: 45 m Aegean Yacht charter review, price and cruising areas

The verdict

Sea Dream is a 45-metre, two-masted Turkish gulet built by Aegean Yacht in Bodrum in 2005 and refitted in 2015. She sleeps 12 guests in six cabins with a crew of seven, and summer rates run from about €45,000 to €59,500 a week depending on the season and the broker. Her cruising ground is the Turkish Aegean and the nearby Greek Dodecanese, which makes her a fit for families or groups of friends who want a crewed week of bays and swimming stops at a fraction of the cost of a motor yacht of the same length. She is not connected with the SeaDream Yacht Club cruise ships.
