In recent years, blue cruises in the Aegean and Mediterranean have become increasingly popular, leading to growing interest in both private gulet charters and cabin charters. Once a group decides on travel dates and selects a preferred gulet, a private charter is often the ideal option—provided the budget allows. However, in practice, organizing a full group of friends or family can be challenging. While everyone may initially be enthusiastic, it is not always easy to gather enough participants, and this often means giving up on a desired private gulet.
For travelers with a more limited budget, or for those planning a blue cruise with only 2–4 people, cabin charter is an excellent alternative. To meet this demand, our agency—specialized in gulet charters—offers scheduled cabin charter tours on 17 different routes, with departures and returns from Bodrum, Fethiye, and Marmaris.
What is a Cabin Charter?
Cabin charter is a shared gulet holiday concept, similar to staying in a hotel. Gulets operating on fixed blue cruise routes usually have 6 to 16 cabins, and cabins are sold on a per-person basis. The tour price includes accommodation and meals under a full-board system, covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, while drinks are charged separately.
One of the biggest advantages of cabin charter compared to private gulet rental is cost transparency. In private charters, expenses such as food, port fees, and (when applicable) Greek island taxes are paid separately by the charterer. With cabin charter, these costs are already included in the tour price.
Our cabin charter gulets are assigned 2–3 days before departure, and the exact gulet name is confirmed shortly before the tour. Each gulet operates with a professional crew of at least three members: a captain, a cook, and a sailor. Gulets range from 22 to 40 meters in length, depending on the number of cabins.
Each cabin is equipped with a private shower and toilet, a double bed, and storage space. The gulets feature a shared dining and seating area on the aft deck, as well as sunbathing areas on the front deck.
Guests can choose from 17 different blue cruise routes, including options in standard and air-conditioned categories, as well as selected itineraries covering the Greek Islands.
