What is a Sailing Gulet, how can we yacht in Croatia?

Yachting Croatia yacht, luxury vacation on Croatian coast!

A Gulet is a wooden motor sailing vessel, the modern version of the ancient cargo bearing craft which used to trade along the south west coast of Turkey.

The original working design has evolved into a cruising vessel of a high standard and quality and equipped with the latest navigation technology such as GPS, GPRS, chart-plotter, radar, etc. to meet the expectations of modern yachtsmen. Nowadays, Gulets sailing over 30-35 meters are built by hand in the shipyards of Bodrum for charters and private purposes. Today, some of the deluxe super gulets even have air conditioned accommodation for up to eighteen guests in self-contained double cabins. Cabins in the majority of gulets are for two with double, not twin, beds. Each has a private shower, wash basin and WC, and the convenience of ample storage space for your belongings. The cabins, walkways and deck are spacious and efficiently designed for passengers' comfort and safety. The interior design and style is generally of simple, clean, and perfect for the Mediterranean climate and being on the sea. In general, gulets vary in length between 14 and 35 meters (52- 110 feet) hence varying passenger capacity and number of crew. In many ways a Gulet is like a full service hotel although every room has a sea view and the scenery is constantly changing!
