Introduction
After a decade navigating the Mediterranean—from the Amalfi Coast to the French Riviera—I’ve captained both sleek catamarans and majestic wooden gulets. While catamarans have their appeal, nothing compares to the charm, comfort, and experience of a gulet. Here’s why I always choose a gulet for luxury charters.

Timeless Wooden Elegance
A gulet is more than a yacht—it’s a piece of maritime history. The rich timber interiors exude warmth and sophistication, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and authentic. Unlike the modern, minimalist vibe of catamarans, a gulet offers character and soul. Catmaran modern plastic polyester.
Space and Comfort Like No Other
Catamarans promise stability, but their cabins often feel compact and functional. A gulet like Elianora delivers large, airy cabins with en-suite bathrooms, blending modern amenities with classic wooden design. It’s a floating villa, not just a boat.
Gastronomic Excellence and Alfresco Dining
For food lovers, gulets are unbeatable. Elianora is designed for private chef experiences, with expansive decks perfect for alfresco dining under Mediterranean skies. Picture sipping a glass of Barolo while the Ligurian coast glows at sunset—this is the essence of luxury cruising.
Smooth Sailing and Serenity
Catamarans are stable, but gulets glide with grace. Their hull design and weight offer a calm, comfortable ride, even in choppy waters. Guests often remark on the tranquillity aboard—a harmony with the sea that catamarans can’t replicate.
My Verdict: Why I Choose Gulets
After years at the helm of both vessel types, my choice is clear: for long, indulgent cruises where comfort and style matter, a gulet wins every time. It’s not just a yacht—it’s a lifestyle.
