Is cabin charter for you
Cabin charter gulet cruise can be one of the most amazing ways to travel around. However this type of holidays is just not for everybody. In this blog post I will try to explain why.
It can be hard to organize a group of people to travel together and this is one of the main reasons why cabin charter gulet cruises are becoming more and more popular.
Also lots of people like to meet new people, see the route and itinerary planed ahead and also cabin charter gulet cruise prices can be very affordable, especially in Turkey.
However….BEWARE! Cabin charter gulet cruises can be very unpleasant if you are not aware of some of the things agencies will not usually tell you about.
As we prefer zero clients as unhappy clients we would like to tell you how cabin charter gulet cruise looks like. If this things are fine with you, then you will have an amazing time on board.
1) FIRST AND LAST DAY ALMOST ALWAYS IN PORT
People are coming to gulet cruises with different flights from different countries. While some people already arrive early in the morning, some people fly in late in the evening. That is why gulets can not leave the port in the first day and also the first night is usually spend in harbors. If you spend the first night in Split, Trogir, Bodrum, Marmaris or some other port which is busy, you can expect some noise during the night. The same goes for last night.
2) YOU WILL HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES ON BOARD
Imagine a combination of English, French, American, Australian, Asian and Spanish clients cruising together with you.
If your first thought was:” this is great, I will meet so many different people, nationalities and make friendships” – THEN YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.
If you first thought was” damn….I f****ing hate this crazy…….(insert your own nationality)” – THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK OF SOME OTHER TYPE OF HOLIDAYS.
3) GULETS AND COMFORT
In Turkey in lower budget gulet cruises you will find out the name of the gulet when you make check in. This gulets are economy type gulets with no air condition and you should not expect luxury accommodation. Also it can happen the crew will not speak English very fluently. In Croatia or in gulets higher quality, this is not a problem.
4) FOOD ON BOARD
Food is also considered with costs. If you book a gulet cruise for 300 €/person/Week please do not expect lobsters. The food will be good, you will for sure not be hungry and most of the people are happy with the food…but again, do not expect lobsters or lots of fish. On higher luxury gulets, this is of course again different. The food gets much better.
This are the most important parts of cabin charter cruises. You will have great time on board if this things do not matter so much to you.
