Gulet Charter Croatia

Age, size, material, and budget  – Classic gulets are older, mostly wooden boats, simpler, more traditional, and usually the best value per cabin. Luxury motorsailers are new-build or fully rebuilt gulets with larger cabins, contemporary interiors, and a service level close to a small superyacht. We’ll point you to one or the other based on your budget and expectations.

As a rough guide, classic gulets usually sit around €15,000–€55,000 per week all included, while luxury motorsailers are typically €70,000–€120,000+ per week plus APA. We always confirm the exact pricing structure and what’s included for each yacht before you commit.

You always get the yacht, crew and standard equipment; then food, drinks, fuel and ports are added on top. Classic gulets often use “all-in” or board packages, while luxury motorsailers mostly work with APA (a percentage of the charter fee paid in advance for running costs). We break this down in plain numbers for each option.

Most gulets and motorsailers in Croatia are designed for 8–16 guests, with some larger boats taking more. We look at legal limits and real comfort – how many people the layout actually works for, not just the maximum on paper.

Yes – gulets and motorsailers are excellent for families: wide, stable hulls, lots of shaded deck, and easy access to the water. We pay attention to safety details (railings, ladders, cabin positions) and match you with crews who are used to kids on board.

Often yes, as long as we pick the right boat. We look at stair steepness, handrails, bathroom access and whether any cabins are easily reachable, then suggest gulets or motorsailers that are genuinely manageable for older guests.

They’re ideal for events: the big aft decks and flybridges work like a private terrace for birthdays, anniversaries or small company trips. We help you choose a yacht with the right deck layout, sound setup and crew for the type of celebration you have in mind.

Most of the time you’ll cruise under engine at comfortable speeds, especially on tight routes. Crews set sails when wind and timing allow, but on gulets they are more for show than for actual use. If spending more time under sail matters to you, we can help you find a sailing yacht for your Croatian yacht charter.

Gulets and motorsailers are perfect for central and southern Dalmatia: island-hopping from Split, one-ways Split–Dubrovnik, and quieter Šibenik/Kornati routes. We build routes around short daily hops, sheltered bays and towns that fit your group’s pace.

Motorsailers usually run on efficient displacement hulls at sensible cruising speeds, so fuel burn is often significantly lower than on similar-length planing motor yachts. We share realistic fuel estimates for each yacht so you know what you’re signing up for.
