Age Restriction

Accompanied by adults, children of any age are welcome and will positively thrive in the warm waters of the Turkish Aegean and Mediterranean seas.

What To Bring

Swim-suit, towel, lightweight / sheet sleeping bag or duvet cover for sleeping on deck; snorkelling equipment, sun protection, sun hat and a beach towel.

Remember that you will probably spend most of the time in your bathing suit!
For land trips a pair of long and light trousers and a shirt or T-shirt is advisable. You will also need shoes that can stand with stony paths.

Evenings especially in the early and late seasons are cooler, so you may also need a pullover. Bring your belongings in a bag rather than a suitcase, because it is easier to store bags in the cabins.

Group Size

Minimum 2, maximum 24, depending on size of gulet.

Other Information

Prices depend on the style of gulet (Traditional or Luxury), the number of cabins and the month of charter. To give an idea, here are some sample daily charter prices:

2 cabin Traditional gulet – Low season €320, mid €400, high €450
4 cabin Traditional gulet – Low season €600, mid €675, high €840
6 cabin Traditional gulet – Low season €900, mid €1000, high €1250

4 cabin Luxury gulet – Low season €1250, mid €1700, high €2250
6 cabin Luxury gulet – Low season €2000, mid €2500, high €3000

Of course the above daily prices must be divided by the number of clients, so a 4 cabin traditional gulet with 12 clients on board hired for 7 nights in mid-season would cost each person €394 + V.A.T. for the week.

Operator Remarks

What is a Private gulet charter?
A gulet charter is a cruise offered on a traditional gulet or a luxury gulet with accommodation for 2 to 24 persons. The boats are chartered with captain and crew. You will be charged on a daily rental basis regardless of the number of people who join your group. As you will have rented the whole yacht for your party, you will be able to decide on the gulet charter route and the dates of your trip yourselves (normal arrival/departure day is Saturday).
