Family-Run Gulet Cruise with Diamond Star Experience

Join us on a memorable journey aboard Seyhan Cann, a well-kept, family-run gulet where traditional Turkish hospitality and the calm beauty of the Mediterranean come together. With Diamond Star Experience, you can count on personal service, local knowledge, and thoughtful care from the moment you book until you return home.

This full-board gulet cruise is run with genuine warmth and attention to detail. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll feel part of the family. Each day, the captain’s wife prepares freshly cooked meals using local ingredients — ripe vegetables, seasonal fruit, and regional recipes that bring out the natural flavours of Turkish cuisine. From breakfast through to dinner, mealtimes are relaxed and enjoyed together.

The Seyhan Cann provides a comfortable and friendly setting for your cruise. Cabins feature wooden interiors, en-suite bathrooms with shower and WC, and simple, well-maintained furnishings. The spacious decks offer both sunny and shaded areas for reading, resting, or enjoying the view. Inside, the air-conditioned saloon offers a cool space during the warmer hours of the day (air conditioning operates around 5–6 hours daily and is switched off after midnight). Following a careful refurbishment in 2016, the gulet offers pleasant communal spaces and an easy-going atmosphere for a relaxing holiday on the water.

I’ve just returned from a week on Seyhan Cann Gulet cruise, I’ve sailed on Turkish gulets before but this was very much a upgrade on them, I met some lovely people on board my cabin was a highly polished room of teak wood the hallway leading to all cabins seemed it like it had just been varnished absolutely stunning, i had 3 meals a day all excellent food,the captains wife was a amazing cook I could not fault one meal in the whole 7 days,the weather was excellent and and the little bays the captain finds for you for sunbathing on deck or swimming the beautiful azure seas if your lucky the captain knows where the turtles are we was lucky we saw one, but of course this cannot be guaranteed I had a fabulous week the gulet made the holiday,the size of Seyan cann is much larger than ones I’ve been on before, so summing up a lovely week,from start to finish the private transfer both ways was first class, the gulet was first class, food first class and the captain knowing the little bays where sometimes you are the only boat in the bay was amazing, thank you lynne for arranging my cruise - Mr Clark
