Gulets and Luxury Yachts

Gulets are wooden motorsailing boats, the modern version of the ancient cargo bearing craft which used to trade along the coast of Turkey. The original design has evolved into a comfortable cruising vessel and an ideal charter boat for sailing holidays Croatia, with their broad beams, spacious decks and generous alfresco living above decks. Sail through Adriatic with stile that is given to you by Kaiser-Yachting.

Gulets were invented in Turkey and for centuries used only as merchant ships. Today they are one of the most popular type of yachts overall-which this season's strong demand for gulets confirms unequivocally. Given the opportunities our coastline provides (for water sports, rafting, biking, hiking, etc.), Kaiser Yachting charter agency offers you a wide range of luxury and traditional gulets and is ready to meet all of your demands when it comes to sailing in these beautiful ships, which are very often the first choice of families and larger groups of domestic and foreign visitors.
Gulets were originally designed for the warm Mediterranean sea and they are characterized by wide wooden decks (the most common material from which they are made is pine), the raised arch, the main sail and an additional sail situated immediately next to the stern. They are driven by diesel engines and the number of beds almost never exceeds 20 (for 12 passengers and max. 8 members of crew). All cabins are usually on the same level and each has its own shower and toilet. For greater comfort in agreement with the captain and crew during the cruise you can taste excellent food, and explore great routes. Half-board and full cabin charters are the usual option. Our gulets are characterized by exceptional design and quality of construction and we are confident that you will find exactly what you are looking for if you decide to charter a gulet at Kaiser yachting charter agency.

'Libra':
Gulet 'Libra' was built in 1997. in Turkey and completely renovated a few years ago in Croatia. It has classic sails, a narrow stern and large deck space for guests, so it looks very traditional, just like the first gulets that sailed the Mediterranean. Next to 6 cabins it has 4 members of crew, who, says our famous sailor and owner of 'Libra' Leo Lemesic, have been there since the very beginning. This gulet will delight you with its superb performance on sea as well as by its design, which is faithful to the classic style of old sailing ships with additional ornaments and bronze windows. Lemesic says: "Almost half of our guests are repeated 'offenders' or a recommendation. 'Libra's' itinerary depends on the point of embarkation and disembarkation, which is usually Split and Dubrovnik, and sometimes Sibenik and Zadar, while the rest is subject to agreement because customers' satisfaction is what we value most. We offer special menus and kosher food as well. " Gulet 'Libra' is advertised via the agency 'Fortuna'. Photos of 'Libra' can be viewed in our photo gallery (below).
