If you are searching for genuine sailing holidays then you have to know 3 crucial things when it comes to gulets:
Most gulets do not sail, or sail very few times
Gulets are called motor sailors. This means they are primarily crewed motor sailing yachts and they usually travel on a motor - but they can also sail. However, not all of them have the sailing possibility. Some gulets do not even have sails, and some have a crew that is not very keen on sailing.
While some gulets are just not built for sailing at all. So if sailing is incredibly important to point for you – you must notice this when you send an inquiry to your gulet agent.
If there is no wind, gulet cannot sail
Even if we promise you some great sailing, and you come to Turkey for 7 days, and there is no wind... Unfortunately, you won’t be able to sail. We are of course very sorry if that happens, but we can’t change the weather. The fact is gulets are quite big boats and they need much stronger wind than 40 feet sailing yachts.
So fingers crossed the wind will be on our side!
If you will sail a lot - give the crew a break
If your entire crew will be occupied with sailing do not expect them to serve you champagne along the way. They will be very invested and busy to keep you happy while sailing and until you stop in some bay, they will go back to “normal stuff” and choose activities that don’t include sailing, so you will have to give them a break.
Also, you should feel free to help them during a sailing procedure, it’s fun and interesting experience for you and you are helping your crew.
