Traditionally handcrafted wooden boats, our luxury gulets have double and occasionally master and twin cabins. Beautifully fitted out cabins, bathrooms and public areas make these gulets very comfortable. Cabins on a luxury gulet are more spacious, have enough wardrobe space and luggage storage areas. Every cabin has a private en-suite bathroom with toilet, shower cubicle and hot water. Bath towels and linen are provided, you don’t even need to bring a beach towel. Fore and aft decks are spacious with plenty of seating areas and sunbeds. Meals are usually taken on the aft deck where you have a different view for almost every meal. There are even extra crew to ensure you are well taken care of. There’s a well-stocked bar with reasonably priced soft and alcoholic drinks. |
