The Nautical Charm of Gulets vs. The Modernity of Catamarans

Updated: Nov 25


When it comes to choosing a vessel for a maritime adventure, the decision often boils down to personal preference and the kind of experience one is seeking. Two popular options are the classic wooden Gulet and the modern Catamaran, each with its own set of advantages.

The Luxury Gulet Charter Cruise: A Voyage Through Time

Gulets are traditional wooden sailing vessels that originated from the tranquil waters of Turkey. These boats are often handcrafted, ensuring that no two Gulets are the same, and they exude a classic design with spacious decks, Cabins and en-suites and cubical showers. The use of old mahogany wood not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also offers a warm and inviting atmosphere compared to Polyresin. Luxury Gulets are particularly known for their ample outdoor spaces and services compared to Catamarans, including large aft decks and 12 sunbathing cushions, which provide a comfortable and luxurious sailing experience. The Private Tailored service aboard a gulet is the ideal way to vacation for the tranquility of the sea and family time.

The Catamaran: Sleek and Efficient

On the other hand, Catamarans are recognised for their multi-hull design, which grants them exceptional stability and a shallower draft. This modern design allows for efficient sailing and often higher speeds under sail. They also offer good interior and exterior space but tight quarters if everyone want to lay in the sun, although the cabins are typically limited to the space of the hulls. For those who value modern design, consistent options, and the ability to achieve good speed, a Catamaran might be a good choice.

Ultimately, the choice between a Gulet and a Catamaran will depend on one's group size, budget, and desired service and requested sailing experience. While Gulets offer a nostalgic journey with personalized full services and a cozy atmosphere, Catamarans provide a more contemporary sailing experience with an emphasis on performance and stability and less crew and service aboard. Whether one seeks the elegance of tradition or the advancements of modernity, both vessels promise an unforgettable voyage on the open seas.
