LUXURY GULET CRUISES IN TURKEY – COST BREAKDOWN
Turkey is quite a popular destination whos number of visitors is increasing each season. The best way to explore all the beauty that this country holds is by gulet cruise. Although Turkey is considered to be one of the most budget-friendly gulet cruise destinations, there are still some extra costs you should be aware of. For this reason, we made a list and cost breakdown that will help you with planning. Furthermore, gulet cruises prices are calculated as a combination of these few following things:
1.) Charter price of the gulet
This normally does include rental of a gulet of your choice that will cost you depending on which gulet you choose and at which time of the season you are traveling. However the crew and fuel are also included in the price, with fuel being available for around 3 or 4 hours of cruise/day, and price includes insurance of clients on board.
The cost of the luxury gulet charter can go from 24.000 up to 150.000 € per week.
2.) Food payment
This is usually extra cost and it depends on the client’s wishes and preferences that we carefully gather prior to the cruise. The price for those expenses is calculated as price per person/week and this is also normally paid on spot.
Prices are:
HALF BOARD (breakfast, lunch 2 dinners): 280 €/person/week
FULL BOARD (breakfast, lunch, dinner): 350 €/person/week
DELUXE FULL BOARD: exclusive cuisine with creative dishes prepared with flawless culinary techniques as a highlight. Made to order from the finest quality ingredients: 560 €/person/week. You can expect high-quality food and personalized menus made according to your prior wishes.

3.) Drinks payment
Generally in Turkey, unlike some other destinations, on most of the gulets, you can bring your own drinks on board with you. If the problem is plane transfer, our destination manager makes the shopping for you and you pay the bill for drinks. Your crew on board will serve you these drinks the entire cruise without any extra costs.
4.) Port taxes
The good news here is that port taxes in Turkey are always included in the price. However, if you wish to combine your Turkey holidays with Greece and decide to cruise and discover some of the islands there, you will have to pay for this extra. This can cost you according to the invoices which crew will present to you around 100 – 250 €/per island, which can get up to around 750 – 1.000 €/week.
5.) Tips
You should be aware of the fact that tipping has become a real culture in Turkey and the crew will usually expect tips for their services. They usually do their best to serve you and they are ready to go an extra mile to provide you with a good atmosphere and that you have everything you need at all times. Naturally, if you are very happy with the crew and their services, tips are around 5 – 10 % from the charter rate. If you are completely not happy with their service, of course, you are not obligated to give tips.
6.) Extra trips
Taxi boats, excursions that are outside of gulet for example if you ever take a taxi or if you join some extra trip outside of the gulet, are on your cost. Also if you decide you’d like to visit go to national parks, spend money on souvenirs or restaurants out of the gulet this is all the client’s costs.
Turkey is the country where you can get the best luxury gulets for a lower price when compared to some other destinations in the world.
