Gulet cruise stories: Easy morning pee time

In the last 10 years, I have heard so many different funny and scary gulet cruise stories that I could write a book about them. A lot of these stories are from a friend of a friend who heard something about his other friend… so they could be 100% true, 50% true, or maybe completely made up. Some of them are so bizarre that only people with incredible imagination could think of them…real or fake, I have decided to share a couple of these stories on this blog. I will not use any names, and if somebody recognizes himself (client or the owner), if the story is funny, he should laugh at it – if the story is scary, he should learn from it…and think about it for some time. This is all shared in good faith and with a goal to make gulet cruises even better than they already are.

It was a very easy-going morning.  A couple of gulets were peacefully resting in a super nice bay. All you could hear was the sound of seagulls. The sea was totally calm (like a glass), and everybody was still sleeping. And then the action started to happen. Some owner ofae gulet woke up and came on deck. He took an easy stroll around the gulet and checked if everything was okay. He stretched a little bit and enjoyed easy morning sun….and everybody knows that early morning sun IS THE BEST!!! The owner felt good. Clients were still sleeping. Everything was going smoothly.  It was just one of those weeks, where everything is too good to be true. And this great feeling made the gulet owner comfortable. Very comfortable….According to the story, I heard…… a bit too comfortable. I will explain why. He made a hat trick. He went on deck – at the back of the gulet – outside. He took IT out, and he had THE BEST EVER easy-going morning pee time in the sea. And this is not the end of the story. While the owner was still performing (in a matter of seconds), the chef also came on the deck. And he has seen his boss, i.e., action. And yes – he also wanted a piece of action, and joined him. Maybe this would not even be so terrible if this were a standard Gulet. But it was not. It was a Ketch. And the main difference between “Ketch” and  “gulet” is that gulet has all the cabins in front of the vessel….while ketch also has cabins at the back of the vessel.

If we get back to the story….Imagine you are sleeping in the best cabin on the gulet (at the back). There is complete silence all around you (only the sound of the seagulls). You have the window of your cabinopend. You are enjoying the fresh air as your head is very close to the sea and to the window,  And then all of a sudden, you hear the sound of a waterfall.  Not 1 – but 2. You think you are dreaming. It actually sounds very nice…until you realize this is not a dream…the sound is real, the smell gets to you…The nice smell of morning urine, and you seesomebody is peeing 1 meter away from your head!?!?! Yikes… As far as I heard, the client stood up for a second and came on the deck while the dream team was still performing.  And as far as I hear,d the man just shook his head – he made sure the captain and chehadve seen him,m and then he went back to the cabin….while the owner and the chef were completely and totally embarrassed.

So what did we learn from this story? A couple of things.

• What isthea difference between GULET and KETCH?

• How important a crew is when it comes to gulet cruises. This is the most important lesson of this article. You can be on a super DELUXE gulet, but if the crew is not professional and if something like this happens to you…I do not think you will laughato it. And if we were to send you on this kind of gulet and this would happen to you….we would not laugh either (to be precise).

And who knows, maybe some parts of this really happened. This should, however, er not hold you back if you are interested in a gulet cruise. Gulets are an amazing way how you can spend your holidays, and when you cruise one time…you will never go to any hotel again. Check what a day on a guletiss like here. If a photo gallery of what a day on a gulet looks like did not convince you to send us anemaill to info@goolets.net with all your doubts and questions, we will be happy to answer them. And my biggest advice: Always keep a positive attitude.
