Gulet charters Greece & Turkey
A lot of visitors have shared their gulet charter experiences with me and you could help others too by rating the gulet company you cruised with. These reports show that only a fraction were satisfied, moreover, too many were quite displeased with their gulet.
Yet, they have found those few reputable gulet fleets – with charter fees that are remarkably competitive.
The best blue cruises are, by preference, enjoyed along the Turquoise coasts in Turkey and the Dodecanese in Greece.
Other Greek venues like the Saronic and Argolic Gulfs are also suitable, but the Cyclades (although very picturesque) can be subject to rough winds and high waves in the summer months.
The sailing areas in Turkey are decidedly bucolic, pristine and risk-free since worlds apart from Ankara or İstanbul.
For the Adriatic you can use the gulet cruises in Croatia – Split, Dubrovnik page.

Gulet charter costs
Contrary to normal crewed charters, the best gulet cruises are package holidays and extras like WiFi, linen, jet skis, half board, transfer from the airport will be included into the charter fee, plus you can include gourmet dinners i.e. “full board”! Moreover, port fees, diesel fuel, etc. are often included as well. One-way cruises (for example Bodrum to Marmaris) will require a “one-way fee” to return the gulet to her home port after your cruise.

The best tips
- Rent your gulet about 10 months in advance: more affordable, more choice, and options like one-ways or 10 days still possible.
- In two weeks [2] you will see three times [3] as much as in one week [1]
- For Athens / Argolic Gulf / Cyclades consider a 45 – 54 feet luxurious catamaran charter instead of a gulet cruise. Here catamarans (and also monohulls) are more suited, whereas the wooden motorsailers flourish in the Dodecanese and Turkish waters.
- Even in the Greek waters the best gulet cruises start out of Bodrum on Turkish gulets!
