Boat Types

Gulet or Catamaran — The Comparison

The Gulet: Traditional and Crewed

A gulet always comes with a full crew (captain, deckhands, often a cook) — no steering required, but less flexibility in route choice since the crew decides.

The Catamaran: Flexible and Modern

A catamaran can be chartered bareboat (with your own license) or with a skipper — more flexibility in route and pace, modern equipment.

Price Comparison

Gulets are generally calculated at a higher weekly rate due to the fixed crew, but offer a fully worry-free experience including meals.

Our Recommendation

For the classic, relaxed "Blue Voyage" experience: gulet. For active crews who want to decide where to go themselves: catamaran.

Frequently asked questions

Is meal service included in a gulet charter?

Usually yes — the onboard galley with cook is included in most gulet charter rates, with exact terms set by the individual contract.
