What Affects the Price of a Gulet?
- ✓Season: July and August are usually 25–50% more expensive than May, June, September and October.
- ✓Size and number of cabins: bigger gulets cost more in total, but often less per person.
- ✓Age, refit and finish: modern motorsailers with polished interiors, air conditioning and stabilisers sit at the top of the market.
- ✓Crew and service: a larger crew means more personal service, especially on luxury and VIP gulets.
- ✓Water toys: jet skis, Seabobs, paddleboards and fast tenders add to the fun – and to the price.
- ✓Route: one-way trips and Greek-island itineraries add transfer fees, port fees and Greek charter taxes.
What Is Included in the Price?
Standard weekly rates in Turkey include the yacht with its full crew, fuel for normal cruising, water, bed linen and towels, harbour and marina fees in Turkey, and the Turkish transit log. Food and drinks are usually charged separately, either as a full-board package or as an advance provisioning allowance, so you only pay for what you actually consume. We always send you a clear, all-inclusive estimate before you book – no surprises.
