Planning Your Gulet Charter Holiday
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.
Choosing the Right Boat Charter
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.

Why is this important? 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.
Considering Comfort and Budget
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.

Larger boats may also come with additional crew members, enhancing your onboard experience. The key is to balance your group size, comfort preferences, and budget to find the perfect match.
Additional Factors to Consider
Aside from passenger capacity, consider the boat’s standards, quality, and embarkation port. The more details you provide to your agent, the easier it is to find a gulet tailored to your needs.
