Gulet charters are quite unique, not only in vessel design, but also in overall concept. Many are considered quite traditional, custom to Turkey and referred to as classic gulets. However in the last couple of years, with the advancement in new wooden boat building technology, there are now gulets slightly more modern in design while retaining that authentic appearance. Let’s read more about what is a gulet boat.
The gulets offer much for choice. They are always built custom to the owner’s requirements. Therefore it is rare that one gulet will be exactly the same as the next one, unlike bareboats and catamarans and motor yachts.
There are no brand names in gulet charter. There are also no legal classifications in gulets. But there are 4 established classifications based on size, age, condition, quality and interior design and features that come with the boats. You will find Economic/Standard, Luxury, Deluxe and High Class gulet classes used by many agents. While other companies classify the gulets on a star system where 5 star is equivalent to a high class gulet.
Gulet cabin types are based on the class of gulet. It is also up to the owner of the boat in how they design or furnish the cabins. Most luxury gulets will either have 1 or 2 master cabins (fore and aft). There are single, double, triple, twin, child, master, king master, and VIP double cabins available in all different types of private gulets. Some cabins are designed quite luxurious while others are simple yet comfortable.
However all cabins offer en suites with showers and WC. The more luxury style gulet cabins have enclosed showers; while others have a jacuzzi in cabin. Charter gulets also include daily linen and towel changes as well as cleaning.
Entertainment can be found in premium standard cabins. This can include a plasma TV with satellite, DVD / CD players, and iPOD docking. Other standard gulets will either not have a TV or just a basic small sized television it is never really used. Most gulets from the luxury class and higher will nearly always have an LCD or LED TV with or without satellite in the saloon as well as a CD/DVD player.
The boat charter itineraries that you will see are designed with the most popular destinations in mind. Itineraries can be altered to suit your pleasure. It is best discussed with either us or the captain with whom you are cruising with as they know the regions very well.
Usually food & beverages are not included in the charter prices. Each boat or agent has a different rate for food and beverage options. You will be informed at the time a quote is sent to you.
