Gulet

A gulet is a traditional wooden sailing and motor vessel with a keel and rudder, typically 50 to 150 feet long. Originally from Turkey, gulets are popular charter options in the Mediterranean and Aegean, known for comfort and traditional design. Charter guests encounter gulets as a distinct vessel category, often operated as crewed charters with professional crews. Gulets typically feature aft cabins, teak interiors, and multiple crew members, making them suitable for groups seeking a more relaxed, culturally immersive sailing experience rather than performance-focused cruising.
