Chartering a gulet/yacht is a great choice if you’re spending your sailing holidays with a group of friends or family. Since it’s a perfect vessel for sailing in large groups, it can be used for all kinds of social gatherings, like birthday celebrations and weddings, special events, or going on excursions. A gulet/yacht can ideally accommodate 10-15 people but is capable of much more.
The biggest gulets/yachts can fit up to 50 people! The spaciousness of a gulet will make sailing extremely comfortable and safe and even though you will share it with a larger number of people, you won’t feel like the boat is cramped. The main advantage of chartering a gulet/yacht is that it comes fully crewed. The main service includes a cook and a skipper, but there are also lots of additional services. Since there is always someone on board, gulets are frequently taken care of and are thus in great condition. You can enjoy a relaxing holiday and have everything tailored to your needs and desires, without having to worry about cleaning, cooking, or navigating.
Another advantage is the price. If you are looking for an affordable sailing option, chartering a gulet will save you some money. You can either charter an entire gulet or a single cabin. Chartering a cabin is ideal if you are sailing solo or with your partner. This might seem like a more affordable option than chartering a private gulet/yacht, but keep in mind that the larger the group, the less expensive the charter is per person. Apart from being extremely luxurious and spacious, gulets/yachts are also very comfortable and homey. However, the most important characteristic of a gulet is its romantic and traditional atmosphere that will make you feel like you’re traveling in time.
