Gulet charter companies
My visitors have shared large amounts of gulet cruise experiences with me, which allows me to recommend you the best gulet motorsailer companies. Likewise you could contribute by posting your own gulet cruise experiences via a form on my new domain.
The salient conclusion from all these reports is that too many of these cruises were not satisfactory, and in some cases amounting to pure swindle.
Alas, my friends and I also fell victim to such dishonest agents. Yet, we have now located the trustworthy motorsailer fleets that offer keen services and luxury at a reasonable price. Naturally, we have enjoyed impeccable cruises ever since.
Cruising tips
- Caiques and motorsailers are the Greek equivalent of the Turkish gulets, goulettes or gullets. More terminology: gulet cruises, blue voyages and blue cruises are similar except that the last two concern the Turquoise coast.

- The most ideal area is the Carian coast where these ships originate from, plus the adjacent waters of the Ionian and the Lycian coast and the Greek waters of the Dodecanese. In these beautiful regions you will find 80% of all the yachts, more choice and usually considerably cheaper, superior gulets.
Therefore, concentrate on charter bases like Kos, Rhodes, Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Gocek, etc.
- It is rarely possible to rent a cabin charter on the more luxurious gulets. Often the only option is a full charter (also called private charter), which means that you charter the whole ship. Yet, this give you absolute freedom in what and when to see or do, plus what the chef cook could prepare for you!
