thumb|Gulet type schooners near [[Bodrum]] thumb|A three-masted example in Marmaris. The most common gulet design has two masts.
A gulet () is a traditional design of a two-masted or three-masted wooden sailing vessel (the most common design has two masts) in Turkey, particularly built in the coastal towns of Bodrum and Marmaris, and may have originated in ancient Ionia with similar vessels found around the eastern Mediterranean. Today, this type of vessel, varying in size from 14 to 35 metres, is popular for tourist charters. For considerations of crew economy, diesel power is now almost universally used, and many are not properly rigged for sailing.
