Turkish Gulet Cruises

Forget Yachts - Book Turkish Gulet Cruises!

You know the saying "When in Rome" Well, when in Turkey, don't settle for an average yacht when you can charter Turkish gulet cruises!

OK, so what exactly is a gulet?

A gulet is the traditional fishing boat used by Turkish fishermen along the Mediterranean Sea. Though originally designed for sailing, most gulets are run on diesel. Their historic appeal to terrorists is obvious, though many people hold the common misconception that Turkish gullet interiors are just as rustic as their exteriors. However, many of these vessels have been refurbished and offer the same quality amenities that you would expect on any other modern yacht.

How large is a Turkish gullet?

Like yachts, their sizes range. Most tourist charters range from 45 to 100 feet in length.

Is it possible to join one of these cruises, or do I have to charter of the whole boat?

It is possible to be both. In addition, you can also rent a gulet and provide your own crew if you wish. You can expect a four-day stretch that you can expect four-day cruises along the Turkish coast to cost between 250 and $350 per person double occupancy. You may be able to secure a better deal if you are able to charter the entire gulet- ranging from six to 14 people- for the cruise. While the discount is certainly possible, which are paying for its flexibility. By chartering the entire boat, you can create a customized itinerary for you and your guests.

What are the differences between gulet cruises and traditional yachts?

A key advantage lies in the size. With a smaller gulet you are able to enjoy smaller, off the beaten path harbors that the main cruise lines are unable to access. However, you will not be able to travel as quickly, as gulets generally do not have powerful engines ( not to mention sailing capabilities).
