The world of gulet charters in Turkey just took a giant leap into the future with the launch of superyacht REGINA.
PRESENTING REGINA
Turkey — The 56-meter gulet yacht REGINA was launched on 11th February 2011, in Bodrum. The vessel was completed in 24 months in Pruva Yachting’s shipyard. Sea trials and final fitting complete before the summer 2011 season.
“For years, some people have felt charters in Turkey were synonymous with old, wooden gulets with few onboard amenities,” says Sheeder. “With the launch of REGINA, we are proud to herald the arrival of a gulet with megayacht proportions and luxurious appointments. She’s a modern, high-performance schooner with the creature comforts customers expect on a charter yacht.”
ACCOMMODATIONS

They also include Blu-ray disc players and PlayStation3 game controllers. A centralized remote control system controls both music and televisions for a few locations; for instance, the saloon, aft deck, fore deck, and all interior areas.
Sheeder is excited to share this vessel, one of the newest and largest yachts available for charter with her clients. “This 56 meter gulet presents a new dimension to cruising in the Eastern Mediterranean – the traditional “feel” of a classic gulet, with the modern level of luxury that discerning charterers demand.“
RATES
Summer 2011 rates for REGINA are €75,000 per week in July and August. She offers €65,000 per week in all other months. Her rates are plus any local taxes and all running expenses, for example, food, fuel, bar, and dockage.
