Spacious fold-down swim platform:

DAIMA is the answer to the “motor or sail?” argument – you get both. Traditional Turkish gulet lines on the outside, high-performance sail plan and twin Caterpillar engines underneath, and a fully modern superyacht interior in between. If you want proper sailing, not just a token mast, while still living like you’re on a motor yacht, this is one of the few yachts on the market built expressly for that.
At 139ft and sleeping 10 guests in 5 suites (full-beam master, VIP, another double and two twins), DAIMA runs with a 7‑person crew and was refitted in 2023, so the hardware, systems and interiors are all up to current expectations rather than nostalgia.
Core value proposition: big-boat sailing performance plus superyacht comfort. A large working sail area and serious rig mean you actually sail; when you don’t feel like it, the twin C12s move you quietly and efficiently. On deck, multiple lounging zones and a fold‑down swim platform turn the stern into a straightforward beach club without Instagram yoga lighting.
Inside, you get mahogany interiors with contemporary fixtures, state-of-the-art entertainment with over 1,000 films, Wi‑Fi, and a mini‑bar in every guest suite, plus a steam‑bath feature in the master’s shower for the “offline mode” crowd. It’s classic wood yacht atmosphere without giving up modern systems or air conditioning.
Water-side, DAIMA arrives with a serious toy stack: Castoldi 17ft 160hp jet tender, jet ski + stand-up jet ski, Seabobs, paddleboard, paddle bike, canoe, water-ski/mono-ski, snorkelling and fishing gear. Translation: if someone is bored on this boat, it’s user error.
Built under RINA supervision and winner of the Bodrum Cup, DAIMA is not a decorative gulet; she’s a proven performer. If your brief is “real sailing, real comfort, real toys” and not another anonymous white motor yacht, this is the short list candidate.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailboat like DAIMA, the expected APA is 15% to 30% of the charter price (€11,700 - €23,400), making the charter cost €89,700 to €101,400. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
