At BestGulet, you can find a selection of private gulets with professional crews for exploring some of the most beautiful destinations in the Mediterranean, from Turkey and Greece to Croatia, Italy, Spain and Montenegro.
What is included in a crewed gulet charter?
One of the main advantages of choosing a private gulet with a professional crew is having an experienced team looking after you throughout the holiday.
The size of the crew depends on the gulet and its level of service, but it may include:
- A professional captain, responsible for navigation and safety.
- Deckhands, who assist with manoeuvres and maintain the vessel.
- A chef, particularly on gulets offering full-board service.
- Service staff, looking after guests and the common areas.
- Housekeeping and cleaning services during the cruise.
The crew is familiar with the local waters and can help adapt the itinerary to weather conditions and the preferences of the guests, always taking into account the captain's recommendations and the characteristics of the vessel.
Gulet Holidays with Crew
Gulet holidays with crew are a unique way to discover the Mediterranean. Instead of staying in the same hotel and travelling to different destinations by land, guests have their own private boat and can sail between islands, secluded bays and coastal villages.
A private gulet allows you to combine sailing, relaxation and water activities during the same holiday. During the day, the crew can take you to peaceful bays where you can swim, snorkel or enjoy the water sports equipment available on board before continuing to the next destination.
At night, the gulet can anchor in a beautiful bay or moor in a harbour, depending on the itinerary and local conditions.
Private Gulet Charter with Crew
A private gulet charter with crew is an excellent option for families, couples, groups of friends and special celebrations looking for an exclusive sailing experience.
When you charter a private gulet, the entire vessel is reserved for your group. You do not have to share the boat with other guests, allowing you to enjoy greater privacy and a more personalised experience.
The crew can also assist with different aspects of your holiday, from planning daily sailing times and swimming stops to arranging visits to coastal villages and restaurant reservations.
Gulet with Captain and Crew
Chartering a gulet with captain and professional crew allows you to enjoy a sailing holiday without any previous sailing experience.
The captain takes care of navigation and manoeuvres, while the rest of the crew looks after the vessel and provides service to the guests.
This means you can simply relax, enjoy the spacious decks and discover new destinations without having to worry about operating the boat.
How much does it cost to charter a gulet with crew?
The price of a crewed gulet charter depends mainly on the vessel's size, category, age, facilities and level of service.
As a general guide, weekly charter prices can range approximately from:
Standard gulets: from around €10,000 per week.
Superior gulets: approximately €25,000 - €50,000 per week..

These prices are indicative and can vary significantly depending on the season, availability, destination, charter duration and services included.
It is also important to check exactly what is included in the charter price. Some gulets include crew, fuel and meals, while other expenses may be charged separately.
