From making your drinks to serving you the most delicious cuisine, our team is there to make sure that you have the experience of a lifetime! As we have Naviera Yachting crews located all around the Mediterranean and in different countries, they do often speak different languages.

The number of crew on board your yacht depends on the boat that you decide to charter, as different yachts come with different crew members on board.

We have a wide range of Naviera gulet charters that are available for rent and they take different amounts of guests, depending on the size of the gulet and the facilities onboard. One of our largest gulets can sleep up to 18 guests, with eight cabins onboard.

Not all Naviera yachting gulets sail as some of them have motors and will only put up sails when there is a strong breeze.

Naviera Yachting standard gulets usually refer to older and far more traditional wooden gulets that are built before the 2000s or during the early years of this decade. Standard gulets offer simple and comfortable cabins with facilities that many guests find charming. There are limitations on air-conditioning if it is available, however, so please remember this before coming onboard. Our crew is there to make sure that you have the best charter experience possible!

Cabins on luxury gulets may vary in size from Master to doubles/ twins, and air-conditioning will be available for an agreed period every day.

They may be small with three cabins or larger with more cabins, and they do include a more generous amount of air-conditioning hours.

The high deluxe gulets are boats that have been refitted in the last ten years, offering more luxurious and modern amenities! Typically, these kinds of boats come with crews of about four to six people, though this will depend on the size of the gulet. Air conditioning hours range from 12 to 24 hours, offering travellers the chance to enjoy the warm air of the Mediterranean while outside, but can cool down when you head into your cabins!

While many different gulets have similar features, each design of the gulet cabin layout is specifically structured to suit different kinds of vessels. With each of the gulets having unique designs, there are different structures when it comes to the cabins, with some having single and double rooms. To ensure that the yacht you decide on is perfect for the guests coming with you on your trip, examine the different offerings on each of the yacht pages or talk to one of our yacht brokers.

The number of toilets and bathrooms on each of the Naviera Yachting gulets also differs according to the number of rooms and guests onboard. Each gulet is uniquely designed to ensure that the needs of the guests on board are met, so you can be sure that there will be enough facilities to keep everyone comfortable over the charter period.

The length of time that you charter a gulet for depends on both your own personal preferences and the availability of the yacht charter. In the higher season, depend tends to skyrocket for gulet hires, meaning that you may only have the option for your charter to be over a few days.
