Gulet Charter in Croatia

The hand-picked gulet cruises we operate are perfect for 10-14 guests who are accommodated in the 5-7 modern double or twin cabins, all of which are fully air-conditioned and en-suite. Skippered by a professional crew including an onboard chef, meals are a focal point on our Croatia gulet cruises with outstanding gourmet cuisine. Meals are typically served on the vessel’s outdoor dining area, perfect for enjoying a delicious 3 course meal whilst watching the sunset in a secluded bay. Our gulets are fully fitted with an abundance of water toys, including stand-up paddle boards, snorkelling equipment, Jet skis, and direct access to the sea. The benefit of sailing on a smaller vessel is the ability to dock in hidden bays and enjoy uninterrupted swimming stops in crystal clear water. Guests who are looking to relax and top up their tans can relax on the expansive sundecks, all of which are fitted with lounge areas and sunbeds. Many of the newer vessels also feature a Jacuzzi on the sundeck.

On a gulet charter, the crew includes a professional captain who is supported by four crew members. All are focused on delivering an exceptional, personalized experience for guests. The captain is responsible for navigating the waterways, ensuring safety, and managing the overall operation of the gulet. As an expert with in-depth knowledge of the region, the captain often provides valuable insight into the local ports and sailing routes. There will be a chef preparing meals that cater to guests’ preferences and dietary requirements, ensuring the vessel is well-stocked while also picking up local ingredients along the way. Typically, a deckhand is included to assist the captain with sailing operations and maintenance of the yacht. Other crew members may include a host or hostess taking care of guests. They may provide meal service, drinks, cabin upkeep, and local recommendations, along with other responsibilities that help ensure all guests enjoy a memorable experience.

On a gulet charter, you’ll typically enjoy daily swim stops and other water sports with equipment onboard like kayaks, snorkeling gear, and various toys. But there are also opportunities for land excursions that immerse guests in the rich history and culture of the destinations. While the crew will organize these experiences, they all come at an additional cost. Guests will pay the supplier directly for each excursion. As these are optional, it’s up to you as to the number and type of excursions you’ll enjoy. They can vary depending on the region but often include opportunities to delve into the local food scene, such as a walking food tour or cooking class, wine tasting while learning about the winemaking process, exploring coastal villages, nature reserves, historic landmarks, and archaeological sites. You might take a craft workshop or even follow in the footsteps of a local to experience authentic daily life.
