What is a Gulet (Schooner)?

A gulet is a wooden motor sailing yacht built for blue cruising. Most gulets can be considered as wooden and motor yachts as well as they all have sails too. These yachts are built for you to spend your days on the deck during the charter. Spacious decks and housing a large stern half moon shaped dining and lounging area are the gulet’s main specialties. The passenger capacity of a gulet varies 8 and 16 according to the size. They all have a wide deck in the front parts for sunbathing. The mid-ship parts are used for the bar, kitchen and living room. The stern deck mostly used for resting as well. Seating, dining tables, bar and kitchen take place in this enclosed area. The cabins take place in the lower deck.

A gulet can also be considered as a small hotel afloat. They have an approximate speed of 8 to 11 knots. Gulets are similar to cruise liners and small passenger boats only in that they offer private accommodation to their guests. Close quarters on a gulet promote an atmosphere of friendship and sharing. Relationships among the passengers and the crew tend to be friendlier. Another specialty of a gulet is that a gulet can take you to all smaller isolated bays whereas cruisers are just bound from one port to another.
