1. What is a gulet yacht?
A gulet yacht is a traditional wooden sailing vessel commonly used for cruises in Greece and Turkey. They offer spacious cabins, sunbathing decks, and modern amenities for a luxurious sailing experience.
2. What should I pack for the cruise?
Pack light clothing, swimsuits, sunscreen, a hat, comfortable shoes, and a camera to capture your adventures.
3. Are meals included on the gulet?
Yes, freshly prepared meals are served on board, including breakfast and lunch. Some dinners are included, while others are enjoyed at local tavernas.
4. Can I be sure, that I will be traveling on the same gulet, as my friends?
At the time of your booking/inquiry, remember to specify who your fellow travelers are.
This way, we will try to make all the necessary arrangements to accommodate you, all together, on the same vessel!
Please keep in mind though, that we can not guarantee this, for close-to-date cruises!5. Do I need prior sailing experience?
No sailing experience is required. Our professional crew will take care of everything while you relax and enjoy the journey.
6. What is the best time of year for this cruise?
The best time to enjoy a Greek island gulet cruise is between May and October when the weather is warm and sunny.
7.What is the difference between Standard and Premium Cabin.
Our standard and premium cabins always include a private bathroom, a wardrobe, a cozy carpet, a comfortable mattress, reading light and a/c. Keep in mind, that all our vessels have fair space onboard, for literally all the passengers they will, eventually, accommodate!Our premium cabins we define cabins that have a separate shower box inside the wc and/or larger space available ( usually 2/3 s.m.) from our standard ones. Usually they are located on the stern or the bow of the ship, making them slightly more isolated than the rest of the cabins onboard and they have better sound insulation that the rest since they are bigger.
8. What is the maximum capacity of the boats?
All our gulets can carry up to, approximately 20 to 25 passengers, with an average cabin number of 7. (double/twins – triples)
9.What nationalities are usually on board?
We have travelers from all over the world, and we are truly delighted about this! Most of our passengers are Australian, British, German, Spanish, Croatian, French, Italian, South African, Canadian and American!
So, most of our passengers are mainly English speakers!
10. Can I bring my own food and drinks on board?
As we use to say here, we are like a hostel in the water. So, yes feel free to bring any personal food or drinks you want on board. Our idea is to support your budget and travel cheaper. Please keep in mind that is not allowed to consume food and drinks inside our cabins and also there is no communal fridge that can be used for storage.
11. Do I need any travel insurance?
Adventure traveling, like Island hopping, requires travel insurance and we strongly suggest, purchasing one!
12. Do our gulets, actually sail?
All gulets, including ours, are hybrids, which means that although they do have a motor engine, they can run on wind energy, as well, through its huge sails.
That said, operating a cruise solely on wind energy, is something quite unpredictable, thus, we prefer relying on, and scheduling each week, based on the gulet’s ability to use its motor engines!
13. Is local transportation included?
Any means of transportation, such as local buses, taxis, or even water taxis, are not included, in any of our cruise packages.
However, we would be more than happy to arrange any possible transportation, for you!
A standard “airport to the vessel (and vice versa)” transfer, is around 30-40€ per person (depending on the Island),
while shorter, in-town transportation would vary, between 8€ and 15€ per person.
Please keep in mind that usually at Parga port, our boats are not able to dock due to scarcity in docking space and the water taxis available in the area will cost you around 5/10 euros per person round trip.
In case you want to arrange your transportation, prior to your arrival, send us an email, at: [email protected]
14. When and where, do I get to charge my electrical devices ? (phones, laptops, etc.)
Our gulets share quite a number of electrical sockets, both on the inside and the outside, of the vessel.
With this in mind, and as we do provide extension cords and multi-docking stations, you will be able to charge your devices, either while cruising while the generator is active, or while docked at port!
When do I get to shower?
You are able to have a shower, any time of the day, but keep in mind that when the boat is docked at some of the ports we visit,
the engines are turned off, the water flow is reduced and as a result, there is no hot water after midnight.
Water tanks on board are limited, meaning, when multiple cabins shower simultaneously, hot water is more likely to end.
If your shower does not have hot water, please inform your captain in order to open the water heater, and please wait for at least, 15 to 20 minutes, until it heats up the water again.
What food is included?
All basic cruise options include a Half Board, which means daily breakfast and lunch. (Buffet style)
For Breakfast, click here, to see our onboard menu items.
For lunch, we do offer a much more detailed plan, which you can see yourself, here: Daily Lunch Schedule 2025
Besides breakfast and lunch, we do offer a special complimentary Captain’s dinner, which basically, is a dinner that passengers, enjoy,
alongside the crew and the Captain!
All courses, include water, though if you want extra, a 1.5L water bottle, is at 2€
Is there any vegetarian option?
We do respect our passenger’s food preferences and requirements and that is why our Chefs, in case it is needed, will prepare optional dishes, as well.
