Gulet is a
traditional wooden motor-sailing vessel meant for
comfortable cruising. Although gulets do sail when the winds allow,
they are most of the time propelled by engine power. They are
configured as motor-sailers, with diesel engines to provide primary
power, while sails provide additional power. Gulets have a
raised bow, a broad, flat stern, a main foremast and secondary mast
aft. Their broad beam provides plenty of deck space and spacious
cabins below decks.
Gulets come in many sizes,
ranging from small 15-meter long craft to luxurious 33-meter
air-conditioned vessels with every possible convenience and
luxury. Charter gulets offer hotel accommodation in
comfortable air-conditioned cabins with bathrooms and enough
storage for all your luggage. Charter gulets also have plenty of
communal space - large salon with a bar, lots of deck space for sun
bathing and other activities as well as outside dining and lounge
area at the stern. Gulet's stern deck is broad with a wide
cushioned bench perfect for lounging and a large table for
games, drinks and meals. Salon is spacious, high enough for
somewhat taller guests, with enough table space to seat all
travelers for meals, meetings or evening entertainment.
Charter gulets have experienced and very professional
crew comprising the captain, sailors and a chef. Their job
is to take care of your safety and provide you with comfort during
your cruise, while the chef's duty is to prepare you fresh meals
with high quality local ingredients.
Chartering a gulet, you get a a
different kind of sailing holiday. It is a very comfortable
and carefree cruising on a boat that offers quality
accommodation as well as best service possible and privacy. Another
benefit of chartering a gulet is to make your own itinerary
according to your wishes.
Charter gulets vary in size, boat quality, service and
equipment. The higher the price, the more you get for your money.
Charter gulets usually have three to eight cabins providing
accommodation for up to sixteen guests. Typical charter gulet
agreement includes the gulet, crew, insurance, fuel for 4-5 hours'
sailing per day without port taxes and fees. Half board is in many
cases included in the price.
