Verdict
Mehmet Ayaz is a well-proportioned 24 m custom gulet with the appeal of a classic Turkish wood build, five cabins for 10 guests, and a post-refit charter setup. It is stronger on relaxed cruising, deck space, and livability than on speed or sporty handling.

- +Five cabins for up to 10 guests

- +Good space for family or group cruising
Cons
- −Not a fast yacht; cruise speed is modest
- −Wooden gulet layout is less sporty in handling
- −Exact cabin layout varies slightly across listings
- −Age of original build may mean more maintenance than newer yachts
Mehmet Ayaz is a classic Turkish gulet with a custom wooden hull, a broad beam, and the proportions expected from a private charter cruiser. Listings consistently place her at 24 m, built in 2008, with later refits in 2019 or 2020, which helps keep the boat relevant for charter use while preserving the traditional gulet look and feel.[1][2][4][6][7][8]
On the water, she is set up more for steady cruising than for performance. The published engine package is 2 x 280 HP, with reported cruising speeds around 9 to 10 knots and top speed around 11 to 12 knots, so handling should be typical of a displacement-style gulet rather than a nimble motor yacht.[2][4][5][6]
Comfort is the main strength: the yacht is configured for 10 guests in 5 cabins, with multiple sources describing two master cabins and three double cabins, plus air conditioning and private bathroom facilities on many listings.[1][4][7][11][12] That makes her suitable for family groups or friends who want a relaxed blue-cruise format with decent privacy and usable onboard amenities.
In value terms, Mehmet Ayaz offers a strong balance of size, guest capacity, and traditional charter appeal. She is not the most advanced or fastest option in the class, but the combination of refit history, cabin count, and proven gulet format makes her a practical choice for buyers or charter guests prioritizing atmosphere and livability over speed.[1][4][6][8]
