HANDE CAPO GALERA

HANDE CAPO GALERA is a 26-metre (85ft) gulet built in 2001, with a refit completed in 2019 that brought her interiors and systems up to current charter standards. The layout is unusually consistent for a yacht of this type: six cabins, each with a double bed and its own en-suite, accommodating twelve guests without the compromise of a lesser cabin at the end of the corridor. Every couple aboard is housed on equal terms — a detail that matters more than it sounds on a week-long charter with friends or extended family. Gulets earn their following through deck space rather than specification sheets, and a 26-metre hull gives her generous room to spread out: long stretches for sunbathing, shaded areas for lunch that runs into the afternoon, and the low, open profile that makes swimming from the yacht feel entirely natural rather than an organised event. A crew of four looks after the yacht and her guests, handling the cooking, the service and the daily rhythm of anchorages and passages. Her cruising ground is the Western Mediterranean, with Sicily and the wider Italian coastline particularly well suited to this style of charter — short hops between coves, fishing villages within easy reach, and evenings spent at anchor rather than in port.
