We went on a Gulet crise in Turkey - from Fetyie - a few years back . Just for two days, but I have always wanted to go for a full week. I think it would be a lovely way to explore the gorgeous Turkish coastline which is dotted with interesting ports and secluded bays. Gulets are quite big with a large shady deck to while away the days and the rooms are fairly spacious although simple. I think alot depends on the quality of the crew as you have to live amongst them. Hopefully youll get a crew that speaks English and a cook who can cook!

Last October we chartered a really nice gulet and everything was spot on. We thought weather would not be so good being mid autumn but it was just right. The company we used was www.exclusivegulets.co.uk and the service has been fantastic from start to finish.

Twice we have been on a Gulet this year: In June with 10 friends with SCIC. AWe were impressed with the organisation. Capable and friendly crew, very nice, comfortable and clean ship and excellent food. And,we sailed every day! As it was an all-in concept, it was very good value for money and we would certainly do this again.
The next trip was in October with 20 friends. As SCIC does not have ships this big we chartered the Caferoglu 7. Although the price p.p. was higher, the standard of the ship was not. The ship looked scruffy, i.e. not very well painted and the decks were not that clean. The bathrooms were mouldy and the "outdoor shower" was a pathetic little trickle of water, which could have been fixed easily. The crew was very friendly but could have done some more maintenance and cleaning instead of playing cards. Our biggest issue however was that the ship cannot sail! The website suggests with photos that it can but the ship is too heavy and does not even have winches on deck. On the plus side: we had a ship with 11 cabins and the food was very good.
