What is a Gulet Yacht?
Gulets are two-masted or three-masted handmade wooden yachts about 20-30 meters long, featuring four to eight cabins.
These boats are typical to the southwestern coast of Turkey. The name comes from the Turkish word “gulet,” from the Italian “goleta” (sailing vessel). These yachts are primarily constructed in the coastal towns of Marmaris and Bodrum. However, you can find gulet wooden yachts around the world today.

How Much Does a Gulet Cruise Cost?
The price of a gulet cruise depends on the type of boat. There are three categories of gulet yachts:
- Standard
- Deluxe
- Luxury
Also, the gulet charter cost depends on whether you are renting the whole yacht or a cabin. Gulet yacht charters typically come with the crew on board. Therefore, the vessel with more crew members will be more expensive.
Typically, gulet yacht crew members include a captain, a sailor, the chef, and a waiter. Luxury yachts have hostesses too who make sure your trip is pleasant and comfortable.
A gulet yacht with an experienced captain and the crew can make the experience more enjoyable. They know the best places to visit and can make your sailing experience truly unique.
Also, the more amenities and services come with the gulet; the price gets higher. Finally, the age and maintenance of the yacht influence the charter price – a new gulet in excellent condition will be more expensive than the older one, averagely maintained.
However, you can rent a gulet yacht in Turkey starting from $450 to $1500 per person. Gulets in Italy and Croatia range from $150 to $1690 per person, while charter yachts in Greece can be found from $220 to $1500.
