Preparing for Your Greek Gulet Cruise
What is a Gulet?
Cruising gulets are a unique boat type - these sublime vessels combine the best features of a sailing yacht, a catamaran and a motor yacht into a single motor sailer, with powerful engines and great sailing capabilities.
Luxury gulets come with a full crew of captain, chef, stewards and deckhands, and usually offer half or full board dining options. You have the option of a cabin charter or a full Greece gulet charter.
Best Sailing Seasons
The sailing season in Greece runs from May to October, with the best weather (and the high season for tourism) from July to August, with temperatures reaching the mid-20s to the early 30s at the height of summer.Where to go on a Greek Gulet charter?
A vast history trickles down cliffsides to dreamy Aegean Sea villages, rendered stunning from the deck of a private Gulet charter, and ancient monuments with long shadows pierce Cyclades sunsets.
Greece is the root of western civilisation and there is something magical about exploring it in style aboard a traditional gulet, from the ancient ruins of Athens to the chic parties and glitzy shopping found on Mykonos.
Crowned with the inspiring view of the Acropolis, Athens is a city of unique beauty and unparalleled, visible history and an ideal beginning to a Gulet cruise in Greece. And yet a modern metropolis awaits, where vibrant traditional tavernas mingle with world-class cocktail bars and myriad cultural sights: from Ancient Greece and the Byzantine to modern Greek. Romantics should walk the Agora, the ancient marketplace, once amongst the busiest areas of the city, now a striking atmospheric stroll amongst fallen columns and olive trees. Follow the streets to the Athens marina that has space for even the most demanding of superyachts, as well as a tremendous backdrop of city life animated by a million flickering embers illuminating the hills of Athens, once night falls.
Head out form Alimos to the Saronic islands of Hydra, Spetses and Poros, or head south into the Cyclades - Mykonos and more!
Or begin from Rhodes and sail the south Dodecanese, or nip across to the Turkish coast and explore the bays, bazaars and Byzantine ruins on a Turkish gulet excursion.
Choose a luxurious fully crewed traditional Gulet charter to sail in style to the Dodecanese Islands for full immersion into an unspoiled side of Greece. Watch in tranquillity from the deck as you sail by islands still bearing the traces of empires long gone.
Watch the mountains dissipate to an undulating shadow across the skyline as your Gulet charter heads towards the Cyclades Islands. Swim stops are abundant, with staggeringly pretty vistas filling every notch of the compass. Kea's beautiful beaches and ancient temples are great for a first mooring.
Visit the caves and hot springs on the beautiful island of Kithnos, and follow the Meltemi breeze southeast to Sifnos for an intensely atmospheric introduction to iconic Cycladic architecture: all white walls and blue roofs, before sailing onwards to Naxos: a haven for natural beaches, windsurfing and champagne-hued sands accentuated by poetic views.
Choose the Ionian Islands for mild sailing-friendly breezes and a more relaxed atmosphere. See the Venetian architecture of Corfu and climb the old fortress for stunning views over the mountains to the north and the hypnotic beach to the south.
Luxury Gulet Charter Greece
Opting for a luxury gulet charter in Greece gives sailors unprecedented access to the country's beguiling coast: from the laidback charms of the Sporades Isles, ideal for families and couples seeking out starlit wild anchorages, and the iconic Ionians home to Corfu, Paxos and Lefkas, to the Saronic Gulf, with cosmopolitan Athens and dazzling islands like ruin-topped Aegina and car-free Hydra.
Fine-tune your luxury Gulet charter to your tastes, opting to take along a full crew of your own to manage every facet of your trip, from route planning to sailing and looking after the safety of each person aboard your boat. For a more laidback luxurious holiday to Greece, opt for a fully crewed gulet charter to benefit from the knowledge of a local captain and a full crew of sailing professionals who will ensure a smooth journey whether you're exploring the powdery white beaches of the Cyclades or the mostly uninhabited Sporades islands, where a little local knowledge can go a long way.
Each of the comfortable cabins on a Greek gulet charter includes a fully-equipped ensuite. Beyond your cabin, you'll find expertly designed public spaces, incredible dining experiences, and all the water toys you could ever need.
Every conceivable luxury accounted for: whether you need space for 20 guests, jet skis, diving equipment, or a fully stocked kitchen and a fully staffed boat.
Gulet charters are available with a selection of styles and sizes to suit even the most demanding of tastes and be hired bareboat, with just a skipper, or a full crew.
