The price of a private gulet charter in Crete ranges from €14,000 to €63,000 per week, depending on the size of the gulet, the number of cabins, the season and the level of onboard service. The rate includes the gulet with its captain and crew; fuel, provisions and port fees are budgeted separately.
At Best Gulet we hand-pick the finest gulets available on the island so you can enjoy a gulet holiday in Crete tailored to you: no schedules, no crowds, complete privacy.
A Crete gulet cruise takes you where tour buses never go: the turquoise waters of Balos, the pink sands of Elafonisi, the island of Chrysi and the secluded coves of Gramvousa. Sail at your own pace, anchor wherever you like and swim straight off the deck of your own vessel.
Our luxury gulets blend the elegance of traditional timber craftsmanship with modern comfort: en-suite cabins, air conditioning, spacious sundecks, snorkelling gear, paddleboards, kayaks and an onboard chef preparing fresh Greek and Mediterranean cuisine every day. Perfect for anyone seeking luxury gulet holidays in Crete without compromise.
With a private gulet holiday in Crete, the vessel is yours alone, shared only with your family or friends. You choose the itinerary, the stops and the rhythm of the trip, guided by a local captain who knows every corner of the coast. Ideal for celebrations, family reunions, intimate weddings, retreats and corporate trips.
