Renting a yacht for a holiday with a family, friends, or colleagues, is one of the best travel options out there. You can choose a nice catamaran, luxurious motor yacht or a sailing vessel. These are the most common charter boats in most of the cruising grounds. However, if you plan to visit the Eastern Mediterranean, then we suggest considering to charter a gulet. This type of charter vessels is not only one of the most popular in the area, but also it is one of the nicest and most comfortable.
WHY IS IT SO? LET'S SEE TOGETHER
A gulet charter in Croatia or Turkey gives you an opportunity to experience an atmospheric, vintage sailing vacation on board a classy yacht with a beautiful wooden hull. This type of vessel originated in Turkey, which is home to the idyllic BLUE CRUISE itinerary — a chance to explore all that is special and unique on the Turkish coast. Each year the popularity of gulets rises. These vessels are elegant, beautifully constructed and are broad on the beam, meaning that they sit well in the water.

WHY A GULET?
Chartering a gulet costs less than renting a motor yacht. Most often gulet weekly rates include fuel for four hours of cruising per day and the fuel needed to run A/C. And if you rent a motor yacht, all fuel expenses are extra. So choosing a traditional Turkish wooden yacht for a vacation can save you a lot.
Gulets are extremely spacious. If a motor yacht features only a tiny foredeck area where 2-4 guests can sunbathe, an aft deck for al fresco dining, and sometimes a flybridge for lounging, gulet’s deck space is much larger. So everyone on board will feel comfortable and can find their own privacy to relax and enjoy a holiday on the water.
As we already mentioned, there are many gulets that can accommodate more than 12 guests onboard at the same time. It is something impossible for a motor yacht if we speak about gulet price range. Imagine you want to travel with all your big family together, and you can't fit all on one yacht. This is not very nice if your budget is limited and you can't charter 3 gulets to accommodate all members of the group, then renting one gulet for 20-30 guests is quite possible for a very good price.
Gulets are stable on water because they have a wide beam. It is a good feature for those who don’t really enjoy wavy passages.
Most gulets feature modern entertainment, such as:
