Turkish Gulet Food and Meal Options

Last Updated on May 5, 2022

Food is one of the most important aspects of your gulet experience. The food you eat during your time spent cruising becomes some of the clearest memories from your trip. Because it is so important, it is necessary to choose the best menu to meet the needs and desires of you and your party.

Food options for a cruising trip on a Turkish gulet range based on price and the gulet option chosen. Because of this, nearly every gulet has a different food policy with different menus.

Many of the prices for gulets are suggested weekly, with a range of four levels of food service. The lowest cost menu includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner; the second menu includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tea and coffee services; and the top two options include a much more elaborate (and often enjoyable) menu.

The lowest cost menu is generally ordered by (and often recommended for) students, student groups, or backpackers with a smaller overall travel budget. With the increase in budget comes more delicate and higher quality meals and beverages.

Lunch often includes a lighter meal, while dinner often consists of more chicken and basic seafood. The upper-level menus include more expensive seafood options and higher quality meats (like lamb).

Choose the menu that best supports your budget, however, if your budget allows, choose a less expensive gulet option with a higher quality meal option. You won’t remember the size or extravagance of your cabin, but you’ll never forget the meals you ate during your cruise.

Food and beverages options on gulet cruises

There are a lot of options for your meal plan when you take gulet cruises . You can have all of your meals on board, or just a few. However, it is recommended to have your all meals onboard. There is going to be pretty restaurants enroute you may want to take break for your suppers. While you may not be able to handpick the entire menu, gulet trips will work to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences for you and your charter guests. Giving a notice to gulet charter company on the booking process, will make your meal preparations as you request.

Staying local may be the best

Don’t look for fried chicken and burgers in Turkey, but you should look for open air grilling as a possibility for your menu options. Grilling meats is very popular in this area. The more you can stay within the traditional foods and cooking methods, the better experience you will have. This can change if boat offers special culinary options.

Look to what the charter has to offer

While almost all of the gulet yachts offer meal plans, some of them offer quite a bit more. In the same way that charter gulets can accommodate different diets, they can also accommodate different tastes too. Some even plan special in cruises around chef availability. You can find out by asking if the charter company offers any special meal cruises. Many of them will time their menus to reflect the seasons of the local foods and the fish that can be serviced. Don’t just check off a meal plan, ask what the options are. Private gulet trips are often flexible because they are dealing with a small amount of guests. If all of the guests are amenable to an idea, you would be surprised what can be done.

Gulet Voyage Yachting offers standard menu and deluxe menu. Except these menus, you can take special meals like fish menus that include just fish foods enriched by crustaceans or like vegetarian menus including fresh vegetables cooked with famous Turkish olive oil and fresh fruits. Whole day, hot drinks are available.Another important thing is alcoholic or nonalcoholic drinks can be added your menu beforehand. Alternatively, guests can do shopping from a local market by the time of arrival. Stuff is going to be delivered to your boat.

Introduction to Gulet Boats

Gulet boats, with their distinctive design and hospitable charm, are an increasingly popular choice for seafaring enthusiasts seeking a unique sailing experience. Originally used by Turkish fishermen and sponge divers as traditional wooden yachts, gulets have evolved into modern vessels that cater to luxury and comfort. These iconic boats are the go-to option for those wishing to explore the enchanting coastline of the Mediterranean, offering a blend of classic allure and contemporary amenities.

Key Takeaways:

• Gulet boats are traditional wooden yachts primarily used for leisure voyages.
• They are renowned for their spacious decks, ample amenities, and elegant craftsmanship.
• Gulet cruises are popular in the Mediterranean, particularly in Turkey, Croatia, Greece, and Italy.
• Options range from private rentals to cabin charters, tailored to various guest preferences and budgets.

A gulet is a type of traditional Turkish sailing vessel, crafted predominantly from wood and characterized by its broad beam and rounded stern. Designed for stability and comfort, these boats serve as perfect companions for serene trips across the sea. The name ‘gulet’ itself is a reflection of the culture and history bound within these vessels, originating from the comparable French word ‘goélette,’ which means schooner.

Gulets stand out from other types of yachts by offering more room for guests. Their broad decks provide an opportunity to bask in the sun and socialize, while their spacious cabins are designed to accommodate both individuals and groups, ensuring a relaxed on-board living experience. The communal areas, such as the dining section and lounging spaces, encourage an atmosphere where memories are made and shared.

In the modern context, gulets are primarily used for charter services, where guests can rent a vessel either privately or as part of a group, commonly referred to as a ‘cabin charter.’ One can opt for a tailored gulet cruise, which guides tourists along attractive routes, providing stops at serene bays, bustling harbors, and culturally rich coastal towns. These journeys, referred to as “Blue Cruises,” particularly within Turkish waters, have become synonymous with tranquility and luxury.

The rise of gulet cruises is not limited to Türkiye—their appeal has stretched across the Mediterranean into the waters of Croatia, Greece, and Italy, each offering its blend of natural beauty and historical splendor. A gulet cruise presents a maritime adventure that moves at a leisurely pace, perfect for unwinding and indulging in the region’s striking landscapes and culinary delights.

As the popularity of gulet holidays grows, so does the availability of various experiences suited to different tastes and travel preferences. From the luxury of a fully crewed gulet to the independence of a bareboat charter, travelers have the freedom to customize their sailing experience down to the finest detail.

Whether it’s the allure of the Mediterranean’s crystal-clear waters or the enchantment of its coastal towns, a voyage on a gulet boat promises a blend of relaxation, exploration, and indulgence. This article will delve deeper into the world of gulet boats, helping to navigate the considerations and choices that come with planning a memorable gulet vacatio

• On-board meals often included, featuring local cuisine and fresh seafood.
• Swimming, snorkeling, fishing, water sports, and shore excursions.

• Panoramic views of coastlines, bays, and historical sites.

A gulet boat is an age-old design modernized for relaxation and opulence at sea. When you embark on a gulet cruise, especially in the storied waters of the Mediterranean, you unveil a time-honored tradition fused with modern comfort.

As you step onto the deck, you’re welcomed by a spacious open area tailored for leisure—a sunbathing area, an al fresco dining setting, and plenty of room to unwind. Below deck, cabins are outfitted with nautical charm and homely comforts—acquiring one of these gulet boats for your journey is akin to securing a moving seaside hotel, flush with character and grace.

One of the most significant advantages of a gulet vacation is the intimacy it offers. Unlike massive cruise liners, where one may feel lost in the multitude, a gulet offers a personalized touch. It’s perfect for families, groups of friends, or even honeymoon couples seeking an exclusive setting to create lasting memories.

A key aspect of the gulet experience is the crew. A dedicated team—from the skipper to the chef—is there to ensure your voyage is nothing short of splendid. Every meal is an event; with fresh, local ingredients, your taste buds will embark on their excursion, complemented by a selection of regional wines.

Now, let’s focus on your gulet itinerary. The beauty of a gulet cruise is the flexibility it provides. Whether you aim to soak in historical sites or bask in secluded beaches, the itinerary can be customized to your desires. Take a glimpse at what a typical itinerary might encompass in one of the more popular regions:

Day 1-2: Bodrum (Turkey) – Begin your adventure exploring the town’s historic castle and lively bazaars.

Day 3: kos (greece) – venture to this beautiful island to admire ancient ruins and pristine beaches., day 4-5: rhodes (greece) – a unesco world heritage site awaits, rich with history and culture., day 6: symi (greece) – stop by to take in the picturesque harbor and neoclassical mansions., day 7: return to bodrum.

With a broad array of gulet types, sizes, and amenities to select from, the choice ultimately depends on your personal preference and the number of fellow travelers. The price for a gulet charter incorporates several factors but primarily hinges on the size of the boat, the duration of the trip, and the season. Luxurious options come with opulent amenities like Jacuzzis, water toys, and gourmet dining services, while standard options focus on comfort and the authentic experience.

Understanding gulet rental costs is crucial in the planning stages. Here are a couple of factors that play a role:

• Crew: The cost includes wages for the captain, chef, and other crew members.
• Provisions: Expect to cover the food and drinks, which the crew will prepare as per your preferences.

In essence, every aspect of a gulet cruise revolves around tailoring the experience to your preferences. As you contemplate the soothing rhythms of the sea aboard your gulet, remember that this isn’t just a holiday—it’s an exploration of maritime culture, a journey back in time, and an embrace of sheer relaxation.

Embarking on a gulet boat cruise is more than just a holiday; it’s an intimate exploration of the Mediterranean’s splendid coastlines and an immersion into the warmth of seafaring culture. Whether you’re lounging on the spacious deck under the sun, savoring the local gastronomy prepared by your onboard chef, or diving into the azure waters of a secluded cove, a gulet journey is a bespoke adventure of leisure and luxury. It’s about creating lasting memories with friends and family while discovering the timeless beauty and historical richness that coastal destinations have to offer. The customization of your voyage ensures that every need is met with unparalleled personal care, allowing you to truly unwind and relish in the slow rhythm of life at sea.

Gulet holiday – our delicious menus on board.

We have experience with hundreds of customers every year, and we hope you will consider our advice. On our private gulet charters, our guests can choose a standard economy, superior deluxe or luxury menu.

Things to know about gulet holiday menu

• First of all, do not compare a gulet holiday with all inclusive or full board hotel holiday. Meals on gulets are an experience to equal or even top the best restaurants ashore.

• You are going to spend a week or two on your gulet yacht sailing beautiful bays and exclusive beaches. You will visit fascinating and exciting places in total relax. Dining out in local restaurants might sound interesting. But practically it means that your gulet will have to enter the port for each meal. Once in the harbour, will not always be possible to sail back to the bay where to spend the night in total peace. You will have to find the right restaurant that suits all your group. Maybe you’ll have to reserve the table in advance or wait for a free table. But you have your private – exclusive restaurant on board , take advantage of i t!
• Our advice is to book a full board menu so you can enjoy your gulet holiday fully with no stress in another organisation.  There is no problem if some of you wish to have some meals or snacks outside while visiting the islands or places of interest. But according to our experience, the food on board is so delicious that all our guests prefer to enjoy their meals on board.
• Gulet holiday always includes a professional cook and waiter on board on your total disposal . Food on board is freshly prepared and beautifully presented.

Blue Cruises Turkey What is a Gulet

If you had lived in the southern region of Turkey your whole life or if you had come from a sailing or boat background then you would instinctively know exactly what a gulet is. A strange-sounding word to the many who may only be learning about Gulets or cruises for the very first time. Coming from the French word Gouëlette (meaning Schooner) originally, then morphing into the Venetian word Gołéta and on into the Turkish name Gulet. 

Originally they were used for freight, fishing, and sponge-diving the gulet building industry of antiquity started in the Bodrum region, that hasn’t changed and neither has the overall style of build or design. The average size is between 20 to 30 meters in length and usually features 4 to 8 cabins. Each yacht takes between 9 to 12 months to build. The traditional design is either a two-mast or three-mast design. Many are not properly rigged for sailing therefor diesel power is now almost always used. Today the gulets are still built in a classic sleek wooden design.

To help you understand exactly what gulets are the simplest way to explain is that there are 3 basic types. 

1) A Karpuzkic Gulet, this is the most common type of all and they all have a rounded stern and an overall rounded appearance of build, this is the most noticeable way that you can spot them and the strongest characteristic of this type build. 

2) A Tirhandil Gulet, this style of Gulet is only found in the Aegean region, they are the oldest true form and the closet design to the first gulet yachts ever built, with their long and narrow stern. They are smaller overall in size to the other 2 types including the basic cabin space but they are also the most seaworthy. 

3) Lastly the Aynakic Gulet, this is generally the larger of all three and the most important feature and design is the large interior space especially the cabins. From the outside, they tend to look blocky and bulky but the interior of the Aynakic is generally the most luxurious. 

Each type of the 3 Gulet designs come in either Standard, Deluxe or Luxury. Every Gulet comes with its own crew members and depending on the size of the vessel that will vary but each boat will have a Captain, a Sailor ( understudy to the captain ) and a Chef, the luxury class of boat also commonly has the added extra of a hostess, that will manage the salon, serving drinks, snacks and food and cleaning the cabins. 

Although used for centuries and by many civilisations that lived in the region it was in the 1960s that the tourism industry got kick-started and the life of the gulet cruise changed forever. 

A Turkish writer named Cevat Sakir Kabaagacli and a group of his friends began to use the gulets for yacht holidays throughout the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey they called them Blue Cruises, a phrase that stuck. This really was the birth of the gullet for private gulet hire as we now know it. Today you can see these handcrafted yachts all over the eastern Mediterranean, Greece and Croatia.

Gulet categories

Private charter gulets are divided into 3 categories - Standard, Luxury, and Deluxe.

These categories are here to help you understand the price and value differences. They are based on gulet's size, number of amenities, watersports, quality of service, etc.

For example, standard gulets usually have smaller cabins, less space on deck, and less special amenities when compared to luxury or deluxe gulets that can compare to 5-star hotels.

Luxury and deluxe gulets are more spacious and offer luxury amenities like a jacuzzi on deck, various watersports and have the highest standard which adds to their value.

To conclude, all destinations offer a wide range of gulets from different categories, and you can easily find something that suits your needs and budget. 

In  Croatia , there are 71 gulets to choose from. The service and the quality of these luxury vessels are quite high and in the last couple of seasons, Croatia has become the best out of these 3 destinations.

You can charter luxurious gulets there for solid prices, but you have to book them early.

Turkey , however, has the widest range of gulet choices and for that reason, it has the most affordable prices, especially when compared to Greece that has 3 times fewer gulets than Turkey.

It is really easy to find a perfect option for yourself in Turkey.

Greece   is a very stunning destination for gulet cruise, it has such big regional and architectural diversity but it has a limited number of vessels which is why it comes at a higher price.
