Take It Easier Yacht Charter in East Mediterranean

About Take It Easier

We invite you to TAKE IT EASIER, a beautifully maintained 38m traditional gulet built in 2007 by the master craftsmen at Cavusoglu Yat Imalathanesi in Turkey. Her classic wooden hull and superstructure reflect timeless craftsmanship, while long-term private ownership and a consistent crew ensure she has been cared for to the highest standards. Accommodating up to 11 guests comfortably, she balances modern functionality with elegant, traditional lines and the warmth of a much-loved yacht. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing retreat or hoping to sail and explore secluded bays where only a few vessels venture, TAKE IT EASIER offers a charter experience that feels both personal and refined.
Outside, you’ll find expansive teak decks designed for easy lounging, generous sunpads, a cosy foredeck seating area, and a welcoming aft cockpit perfect for al-fresco dining. With Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines at your fingertips, you can glide from hidden coves to lively harbours with ease. Her generous deck spaces lend themselves beautifully to relaxed entertaining—long, sunlit lunches, quiet evenings with a chilled glass of wine at the stern, or early-morning swims from the swim ladder into calm, crystalline waters.
Inside, the interior feels soothing and inviting. The main saloon encourages you to unwind with soft furnishings, warm woodwork, and a sense of openness, while the cabins are comfortable and elegantly appointed. The master cabin is particularly spacious, offering an elegant private retreat while keeping you close to the heart of the yacht. She also features a full beam VIP stateroom, a guest triple, two convertible twin staterooms, and a small infant cabin, providing flexibility for families, friends, or couples.
Guests will find plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the water thanks to a well-chosen selection of water toys, including eFoils, Seabobs, a slide, as well as more sedate paddleboards and canoes. Whether you’re keen to explore the coast by tender, try out the toys or prefer a gentler pace, there will be plenty to keep you and your guests entertained.
