Gulet Sema Tuana

A gulet is a traditional wooden sailing yacht originating in the Eastern Mediterranean. These vessels are designed for relaxed coastal cruising and feature wide decks for sunbathing and dining, along with comfortable private cabins. Today, modern gulets combine classic craftsmanship with contemporary onboard amenities and are widely used across various Mediterranean cruising destinations.

No license is required. All gulet charters are operated with a professional captain and experienced crew who handle navigation and daily operations. This allows guests to enjoy a private gulet charter without any prior sailing experience.

The charter price generally includes the private use of the gulet, crew services, and fuel for limited daily cruising. Bed linen, towels, and standard onboard equipment are also included. Food, beverages, port fees, and special requests may vary by yacht and should be confirmed in advance.
