gulets

The Charter Desk arranges bareboat, skippered and crewed yacht charters across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, with live availability and a real person on the other end of every enquiry.

Where do gulets sail?

Mostly Turkey (Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye) and Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split). Some operators offer the Aegean (Athens area) but it's rarer.

How much do I tip the gulet crew?

10-15% of charter fee, split among the crew. The captain typically distributes.

Are gulets really 'sailing' boats?

Technically yes — they have masts and sails — but most weeks 80%+ of the cruising is under motor. The sails come up for an hour or two of show. If you want real sailing, pick a sailing cat or sailboat.

Can I have specific food requests on a gulet?

Yes — gulets have a dedicated chef. Tell us your group's preferences (kosher, vegan, allergies, kid-friendly) and the chef plans accordingly.
