CSailing the Mediterranean or the Caribbean aboard a luxury gulet is every traveler's dream; in this guide, we explain how to charter gulets from Latin America with complete ease and safety.

Latin America's Gateway to the Sea

The luxury of sailing on a traditional boat with the comfort of a five-star hotel is an unmatched experience. If you are in the southern hemisphere or the north of the American continent, planning your vacation at sea has never been easier. At Bestgulet, we are experts in connecting Spanish-speaking travelers with the most spectacular nautical destinations in the world.

Below, we present a detailed guide on the best routes and connections for gulet charters, tailored to your country of origin.

1. Charter a gulet from Mexico

Thanks to its excellent direct air connections to Europe (Madrid, Paris, Rome) and its geographical proximity to the Caribbean, chartering a gulet from Mexico is one of the most popular options. Mexican travelers usually choose the Mediterranean (especially the Amalfi Coast or the Greek Islands) for the European summer, or the Bahamas and the Caribbean for the winter.

2. Charter a gulet from Argentina

For travelers from the Southern Cone, crossing the pond is a tradition. When chartering a gulet from Argentina, flights to Turkey or Greece usually make a stopover in São Paulo or directly in Madrid. Argentines are lovers of gastronomy and good wine, so our gulets with an onboard chef in the Turkish Riviera are the perfect match.

3. Gulet charters from Chile

With stable purchasing power and a growing interest in luxury tourism, gulet charters from Chile have increased in recent years. Santiago offers direct flights to Madrid and Rome, facilitating access to the Aegean or Ionian seas. The key for Chileans is to plan ahead to secure the best air routes.

4. Charter a gulet from Peru

The Peruvian gastronomic boom is taken to the sea. When chartering a gulet from Peru, travelers from Lima often take advantage of connections via Bogota or Madrid to Croatia or Turkey. The privacy offered by a gulet is ideal for Peruvian families looking to escape the crowds.

5. Charter a gulet from Uruguay

Uruguayan tourism seeks exclusivity and boutique experiences. When chartering a gulet from Uruguay, departing from Montevideo or Punta del Este, travelers often combine their ticket with a short stay in Europe before embarking to destinations such as the Balearic Islands or the French Riviera.

6. Charter a gulet from Miami

Miami is the international hub par excellence. Although it is the main departure point to the Caribbean, many Latin American families residing or passing through the US prefer to charter a gulet from Miami to the Bahamas or the Virgin Islands, taking advantage of the great availability of boats in Florida.

Tips for Chartering Your Gulet from Latin America

- Book flights in advance: Secure your international flight before booking the gulet to ensure the dates perfectly match the check-in (Saturday afternoon) and check-out (Saturday morning).
- Opposite season: Remember that our summer (December to March in LatAm) is winter in the Mediterranean. Because of this, many travelers opt for the Caribbean during these dates, or plan their New Year's vacation to travel to the Mediterranean in July or August.
- Onboard menu: Most of our boats allow you to customize the menu. You can request preparations that include Latin ingredients or adapt the menu to traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
