Italy remains one of the most sought-after destinations in the Mediterranean, and in 2027 chartering a private gulet has become the preferred way to explore it no crowded cruise ships, no fixed schedules, and the freedom to anchor in coves only accessible by sea.
A gulet is a traditional Turkish sailing vessel, spacious and comfortable, with a full crew, private cabins, and generous deck space for sunbathing or dining under the stars. It's the ideal choice for families, groups of friends, or couples looking for a more intimate and authentic experience than a conventional motor yacht.
Total itinerary flexibility: decide each day whether to explore a hidden cove, visit a coastal village, or simply anchor and swim.
Professional crew included: captain, sailor, and often an onboard chef, so all you need to do is enjoy.
Spaces designed for socializing: wide decks, bow nets, and al fresco dining areas.
Better space-to-price ratio than a similarly sized motor yacht.
Positano, Amalfi, Capri, and Ischia in a single week. Crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs, and world-class cuisine.
White sand beaches and turquoise water reminiscent of the Caribbean, with the advantage of being right in the Mediterranean.
Watch Stromboli erupt at night, enjoy Panarea's chic atmosphere, and experience the authenticity of Lipari. One of the most culturally rich routes.
Perfect for travelers who want to combine sailing with colorful villages and coastal hiking.
Prices vary depending on gulet size, number of cabins, season, and route, but as a reference:
4-6 cabin gulets: from €9,000 to €15,000/week
Luxury 8+ cabin gulets: from €80,000 upward
High season (July-August): 20-40% higher than mid-season
Budget an additional 25-30% of the base charter fee for extra expenses (APA: fuel, marina fees, catering)
- Book 6-9 months in advance if you want to sail in July or August; post-pandemic demand remains very high.
- Travel in shoulder season (May-June or September): less extreme heat, lower prices, and less crowded marinas.
- Ask about the APA system (Advance Provisioning Allowance) to understand what's included and what isn't.
- Plan the itinerary with the captain before departure, but stay flexible in case weather conditions change.
- Take out cancellation insurance, especially if booking far in advance.
- Ask whether the chef can accommodate allergies or special diets before confirming.
- Check how many cabins have en-suite bathrooms, as this varies significantly between gulets.
