Whether you’ve decided on a boat holiday in Turkey, Greece, or Croatia, finding a gulet that suits your group can be straightforward. By considering a few key factors early in the planning process, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. If you’re in the planning stages and your group size isn’t finalized, consider selecting a gulet with a slightly higher capacity. For example, if you expect 8 to 12 travelers, look at boats that accommodate 12 to 16 people.
Plans often change, and group sizes can grow closer to the holiday date. Booking a larger gulet early ensures you have room for additional guests. If your group size increases, you’ll already have enough space. Additionally, a larger group can reduce the cost per person, making the trip more affordable. Smaller groups sometimes opt for larger boats for added comfort. This is especially useful in regions like Turkey and the Islands, where distances between mooring points can be substantial. A larger gulet offers more space and often smoother journeys, particularly during high season when meltemi winds are active.
Does a larger gulet always cost more? Not necessarily. You can find a right boat charter that fits your budget without sacrificing comfort. Even small groups of 2 to 4 people have chartered gulets designed for 12 passengers, enjoying the extra space without paying significantly more.
