Gulets in Croatia
Name gullet originates from the French language and characterizes the Turkish coasting sailboat.
Gullets were built in Turkey, mainly in Bodrum and Marmaris, initially for coastal transport of oil and wine in amphoras.
In Croatia they appear in the early part of the 20th century. Today they are modern touristic sailboats that come in various sizes: from smaller ones 15 m to larger ones 30 m.
Gullets are wooden motor sailers with the main diesel engine drive and with sails that provide additional drive, depending on the strength and wind direction. That means you can sail silently without motor drive if the wind permits, or navigate reliably under marine engine power.
Gullets, due to their comfort and accommodation in spacious cabins below deck, and especially on the deck, provide to our guests unique pleasure of feeling at home.
Each cabin has a private toilet and bathroom. The interior is mostly simple and spacious, perfect for summer climate on the Adriatic.
The wide stern deck is equipped with low upholstered benches suitable for reading and relaxing. It also has table for food and drinks covered with an awning for the sun protection. On foredeck there are cushions for sunbathing and resting.
Three to five crew members take care for sailing, service and safety of the passengers.
