There are 3 categories of gulets namely; Standard, Deluxe, and Luxury. Below are some of the things that help distinguish the price of a gulet:

1.) Crew on gulet

The crew on board a gulet can define your trip. An excellent crew on board can make your cruise much more enjoyable. A more experienced and knowledgeable captain knows how to sail and all the best places to stop at and this can absolutely make your cruising experience fantastic.

What’s A Gulet Yacht Charter?

A Gulet charter is basically a private holiday on a crewed Gulet boat, either solo or with friends. With a chartered gulet, you can choose to sail through the Aegean embayment or explore the larger Mediterranean Sea.

Traditional gulets draw inspiration from ancient Ottoman boats and feature high masts, esthetical designs,s, and handmade decorations. Gulets from the Aegean region are particularly made of pine, teak, chestnut, and mahogany trees, giving them the ultimate ancient look.

Aside from the aesthetic appeal that comes with them, they still offer all the comforts of modern life that anyone would desire for a sailing boat.

Going on a gulet charter simply guarantees you complete freedom and luxury. You can literally go wherever you want to go, engage in whatever holiday activity you wish, either onboard or in the waters, and eat and drink your holiday away with friends in whichever manner you desire.

So long as you have an experienced and dedicated crew onboard, the adventure at sea on a gulet can just be awesome, to say the least.

Most Popular Gulet Destinations

Mediterranean Europe and the South Asian region are by far the most popular gulet destinations in the world. That’s mainly because of the massive gulet-making companies and chartering agencies available in these regions.

Some of the gulet destinations that can be great to visit include:

With about 60 gulets in total, Croatia is among the countries that offer an amazing sailing experience on the Mediterranean coast. The country also has more than 1,200 beautiful islands and a number of great towns and places that can be great to visit. If you were to cruise on a weekly basis, it would take you at least 10 years to explore all these places in Croatia.

Turkey is the most popular among all the gullet destinations in Europe. With more than 500 vessels in the country alone, the gulet cruising experience here never gets better.

With so many gulet options and charter companies in Turkey, you can only expect to get the highest quality of cruising services at reasonably lower prices compared to Croatia and Greece.

Some of the best places to visit in Turkey on a gulet include Gocek, Bodrum, Marmaris, and Fethiye.

Greece has won the hearts of many holidaymakers because of its ever-charming islands like Mykonos, Santorini, Corfu, and more. And there is even more that spices up the holiday experience in this part of Europe: getting aboard a Turkish gulet and exploring the Greek Islands near Turkey.

When planning a cruising tour in Greece, you should consider the islands of Rhodes, Symi, Leros, Kos, and Patmos.

Greek gulet charters and cruises can be a little more expensive than the average gulet price. But if you are willing to spend any amount for the unique gulet experience, it is still worthwhile.

Italy never disappoints either when it comes to the gulet cruising experience. With a fleet of about 10 to 15 gullets, you can never miss a chance to explore the beautiful Italian coast on an Ottoman-like boat. Sicily and Sardegna areas are some of the true wonder areas in Italy to visit for the ultimate gulet cruising experience.

The Maldives is a popular holiday destination because of its breathtaking scenery and pristine waters that offer divers numerous opportunities to explore the underwater world.

But taking a gulet cruise is also one of the most fun and relaxing holiday activities to engage in in this part of South Asia. While the number of gulets in the Maldives is limited, tourists can still enjoy cheaper gulet charters and cruises.

Are All Gulets Similar?

Modern gulets are not just designed to give passengers a nostalgic feel of the ancient ships. Rather they’re built to meet different modern life needs. That’s why they come in a variety of shapes, standards, and passenger capacities.

A typical modern gulet has all the comforts you would enjoy in a house. The only difference is that you keep moving and viewing different natural sceneries, which is no doubt amazing.

Here are some of the main types of gulet boats:

Classic-Standard Yachts

One of the things that distinguish Classic-Standard yachts from others is that they have double and/or single beds in their cabins. The cabins may also include a wardrobe, hot and cold water, shower, and toilette.

A classic yacht, also named small ship cruise , has a total of 3 crews and features a well-equipped kitchen that can take care of 3 meals a day. Additionally, there are two dining areas both on the inside and outside of the yacht.

Other amenities available on board include a comfortable sitting area on the deck, freezer, music, fishing equipment, snorkeling equipment, and motor-operated dinghy, among other things.

Luxury Yacht

A luxury yacht has all the comfortable amenities that you would expect on a modern boat. Most cabins come with double beds, and there are some that may have single beds. Luxury gullets are newer compared to classic-standard gullets.

In addition to all the amenities found in a classic yacht, a luxury gullet comes with a master cabin, shower cabins, air conditioner, generator, and TV in the saloon and canoe.

Deluxe Yacht

Deluxe yachts are designed to provide passengers with a luxurious sailing experience in a wider and more modern space. A deluxe yacht may feature 1 or 2 master cabins.

In addition to all the amenities of classic and luxury gullets, deluxe yachts come with newer and full sailing equipment, better navigation systems, large bed sizes, extra entertainment equipment, and more.

Super Luxury Yachts

These are the most luxurious of all the yachts. They come with all amenities that can be desired in a luxury yacht, including a master cabin, Jacuzzi, TV in every room, more crew members and more. Its amenities and comfort can only be compared to a six-star hotel.

Why Gulets Are So Popular

Gulet cruises offer one of the most exciting, if not the best relaxing holiday experiences. Sailing on a gulet yacht-whether classic, luxury, or deluxe- allows you to relax and soak yourself in the beautiful coastal scenery even as you enjoy your favorite tipple or drink. After all, that’s what a holiday sailing experience is all about.

Another thing that makes chartered gulets popular is the fact that one can organize a trip based on his or her own wishes. For instance, you don’t have to wake up at 7 a.m. to catch up with a scheduled trip.

You can simply choose to sail at your own comfortable time and take the trip to whichever island or bay you fancy. Even when your friends want to go snorkeling or visit a nearby town, you can choose to remain on the gulet and bask in the sun or just chill as you read a book.

There are also lots of foods on board a yacht that you can enjoy amid the fresh air and the breathtaking scenery around. And if you would like to escape the crowds, you can simply search for a spot in one of the secluded beaches around and have the world for yourself.

Taking a cruise tour on a chartered gulet is simply all about doing what you love during the holiday, when you want it, and without any limits.

How many Crew Are On A Gulet?

A cruising tour can never be successful without a competent crew aboard the yacht. They are the ones who literally make the yacht move, ensure your stomach is full, and keep you entertained throughout your cruising tour. A 2 to 3 cabins gullet usually has a minimum of 2 crew members and can even go up to 5 members for a luxury gulet.

Here is the main crew you can expect on a typical gullet yacht:

Captain (Skipper):

The captain, also known as the skipper, is the one in charge of driving the gullet and taking you safely to your planned destination. He/she is the first in the ranks of the crew and advises clients on the best places to visit and how to go about it. The captain usually has the final about the day’s or week’s cruising itinerary.

A gulet can’t definitely set out into the sea without the second most important person: the chef. And he/she is responsible for preparing the delicious snacks, artisanal dishes and/or the range of cocktails that will keep your cruising tour interesting.

The waiter’s work is to ensure the food prepared by the chef is properly served. Waiters also help the chef in cleaning the dishes, and if there’s no hostess or sailor on board, they’ll clean the cabin. You can also reach out to the rest of the crew via the waiters.

A sailor is mainly charged with the responsibilities of tying the ship under the captain’s supervision and generally ensuring everything on board is clean and works properly. He’s more like a captain’s assistant.

Hostesses are mainly present in more luxury gullets, and they are responsible for cleaning and preparing the cabins, serving drinks and cleaning the gulet deck as well as the saloon. They can sometimes take care of the kids if you have any onboard.

What Sports Can You Do On A Gulet?

There are a plethora of fun activities to engage in while on a gulet sailing tour including the following:

Watersports

If you are a water person, then a sailing tour can never be complete without swimming, snorkeling, or diving. Going underwater gives you a chance to soak in the cold water during summer and/or witness firsthand the spectacular marine fish, sea creatures, and corals in the area.

A holiday is all about unwinding, and while on the Gulet sailing tour; you can simply choose to lounge on the deck as you bask, read a book, or enjoy conversation with friends. Gulets usually have spacious cabins and exterior decks for resting.

Visiting Islands

Hopping from one island to the next is undoubtedly one of the most adventurous activities to engage in during the weekend or on holiday. You’ll get to enjoy the beautiful scenery, visit different towns and interact with different people as you go along.

A birthday party, engagement party, or a casual feel-good party can never go wrong on the gulet. So long as you have a few drinks, cocktails, and or snacks onboard, you can always toast to the good life as you soak into the scenery and fresh ambiance of the island and sea.

How Gulet Yachts Are Equipped

Modern gulets are equipped with all amenities that can make the passengers onboard enjoy a convenient, fun, and relaxing experience on board.

Some of the amenities that come with a luxury gulet include:

A typical saloon on a gulet is fitted with a bar, and dining facilities and also has a TV with DVD for entertaining the guests. In addition, there’s an air conditioner in the saloon to provide cool refreshing air during a hot summer cruise tour.

The deck is by far the most spacious part of the gulet and features a well-cushioned seating area and covered dining area. The larger part of the foredeck is meant for sunbathing, and the aft is for relaxing and/or eating al fresco.

A gulet’s cabin is specifically reserved for sleeping, and it’s fully furnished with a bed or two, a toilet, and a shower. Luxurious cabins may also have a Jacuzzi, plasma TV, and huge space.

Why Gulets Provide the Best Sailing Holidays

Modern gulets have truly redefined the yacht sailing experience. With all the comfortable amenities you can ever desire on board, you can travel to any part of the Mediterranean coast without any effort whatsoever. You actually have all you need on board to get going even for weeks without setting foot on land.

Aside from that, a gulet sailing tour or expedition can allow you to:

• Enjoy delicious food both on board and the towns you stop by
• Meet and socialize with local people as you cruise along the coastal islands
• Escape the crowds on a private charter and enjoy some ample time solo
• Soak in the ever-stunning Mediterranean coast scenery

In Conclusion

Going on a gulet sailing tour can simply be rewarding and memorable at the same time. And since you now know everything about gulet boats and how they work, you can go ahead and charter a vessel this coming holiday for a chance to explore the Mediterranean or Maldives coasts to your satisfaction.

You can venture into the seas solo or can take along one or two of your friends and/or family members for an even more exciting sailing tour or expedition. Modern gulet sailing just guarantees more fun and relaxation than any yacht could ever provide.

Hey there, Thanks for sharing. It’s something new for me. I’ve never heard before about this way to go on holiday. I thought you could enjoy only a Cruise for making such trips.

TURKEY GULET YACHT

A gulet is a classic wooden, motorized, and sailing boat that is perfect for long sea voyages and close-to-land cruises.

Traditional Turkish gulets are made-to-order boats that skilled artisans construct from wood. Because they provide a very comfortable cruising experience, gulets, often referred to as motor sailboats, are perfect for coastal excursions and lengthy sea cruises.

We are aware that the first gulet construction began in Turkey’s Bodrum region. However, production is also taking place in Bozburun, Marmaris, Fethiye, and Istanbul as a result of the expanding market and demand.

Types of Gulets

Gulet: The gulet is the most well-known traditional yacht design for Blue Cruise. The dining table and seating area are located at the back of the gulets.

There is typically a sofa and enough sun pillows out front for everyone. The entrance to the cabins is through this hall, which features a dining table according to the size of the gulet and an interior hall.

The yacht’s round stern causes the guest quarters to be in the front, while the aft side is typically used as the technical area. The ability to sail is marginally superior to that of Aynakic gulets.

The AFT parts of Aynakic gulets are not round, as they are in gulets, but rather are in a structure with raised corners, which is a key characteristic that sets them apart from ordinary gulets.

They typically use this space for the suite room, or what we would refer to as the “master cabin.” All other details are the same as for gulets, with the exception of this characteristic.

Tirhandil is the oldest local wooden boat type with a pointed stern and the best-suited wooden yacht for sailing. Today, the equipment has changed from sloop to lifeboat and from sail to sail; the majority of them are three-corner sails.

They do not construct them on particularly lengthy decks, often between 15 and 25 meters, like other kinds. The same standards apply to their cabins. If you like sailing, this is the best option.

Accommodation on Gulets

Traditional Turkish gulets have evolved in appearance over time. A modern gulet today resembles a high-end floating hotel and can be anywhere between 15 and 55 meters (50 and 180 feet) in length. Gulet length and passenger capacity are not inversely related.

A 20-meter gulet, for instance, might contain three guest cabins or six. The cabins must be smaller in order to accommodate additional cabins of the same size. But in general, taller gulets make up vessels with six or more multi-cabs.

Every cabin on gulets of different shapes and sizes was created with the needs of the passenger in mind, including a bed, wardrobe, separate shower, and toilet.

However, extra comfort amenities like sofa sets, dressers, work desks, and jacuzzis are also available, depending on the size of the rooms and the level of luxury of the boat. There are separate cabins for personnel in the guest cabins.

Gulet Passenger Safety

On gulets, the welfare of the passengers comes first. As a result, each gulet contains numerous fuel and clean water tanks. Additionally, it features a complete set of navigation and safety equipment, including life jackets, fire extinguishers, GSM phones, and VHF radios.

All of these safety precautions and modern technologies prevent any potential emergency and enhance your seaside vacation.

Types of Gulet Charters

Private yacht charter: When you charter a gulet, the entire vessel—along with its crew—is yours for the duration of the rental period. Within the parameters outlined in your rental agreement, you are free to take any route during the rental term.

And you are not restricted to any set timetable; you can plan your vacation however you like. You can purchase our ready-made menu packages and avoid sticking to a typically restricted menu, just as you can shop for your rations.

Renting a private gulet is the perfect choice if you want to spend a luxurious vacation at sea with your family or enjoy the sea and entertainment with close friends.

For a trip you won’t forget and wish to repeat, choose from traditional, classic, luxury, or ultra-luxury yacht charter options to suit your needs and experience.

Cabin rentals : On a shared tour, one or more cabins may be rented. The schedule for the route, lunch times, and meal components remain the same.

The purpose of in-cabin trips, which they typically arrange on classic gulets, is to experience the spirit and joy of the Blue Cruise rather than taking a vacation on a luxury yacht. Let’s say you can’t organize enough groups to rent a private gulet or you go over your budget.

Then, a cabin rental could provide you with a relaxing blue-tour vacation. Renting a cabin will help you make the most of your vacation by allowing you to cruise in style, widen your circle of friends, and meet new acquaintances on the boat.

The great thing about a gulet rental vacation is that you can visit some of these islands. Rhodes, Symi, and Kos all have ports that are close to the Turkish shore. These are great islands for people who want to see places in both areas. Between the Greek islands in the west and the many Greek islands in the north, you can mix and match a lot of different options.

What is Gulet and How to Charter One

Gulet is a traditional wooden motor-sailing vessel meant for comfortable cruising. The history of gulets is somewhat veiled in secrecy. It remains uncertain how gulets got their name - whether it comes from the Italian word "guletta" or the French word "goullette". This schooner type of vessel is used as a sweeping net, trawl net or sponging vessel in Turkey in the Aegean and Mediterranean.   

Gulets we know today are known as the Bodrum type of schooners. They date back to the beginning of the 1970s when they were created as a result of the need to carry tourists who began visiting the Aegean region and especially Bodrum and Marmaris at the end of the 1960s, to nearby bays. These gulets had chambers and seating on the back of the deck as opposed to gulets used in fishing or sponging till those years.  

Although charter gulets do sail when the winds allow, they are most of the time propelled by engine power . They are configured as motorsailers, with diesel engines to provide primary power, while sails offer additional strength.   

Gulets have a raised bow, a broad, flat stern, the main foremast and a secondary mast aft. Their broad beam provides plenty of deck space and spacious cabins below decks. 

Gulet Charter Types and Services

Gulets come in many sizes , ranging from small 15-meter-long craft to luxurious 33-meter air-conditioned vessels with every convenience and luxury imaginable. Charter gulets offer hotel-like accommodation in comfortable air-conditioned cabins with bathrooms and enough storage for all your luggage. Charter gulets also have plenty of communal space - a large salon with a bar, lots of deck space for sunbathing and other activities, as well as an outside dining and lounge area at the stern. Gulet's stern deck is broad with a wide cushioned bench perfect for lounging , and a large table for games, drinks and meals. The salon is spacious and high enough for somewhat taller guests, with enough table space to seat all travellers for meals, meetings or evening entertainment.

Charter gulets have an experienced and professional crew that comprises a captain, sailors, and a chef. Their job is to take care of your safety and provide you with comfort during your cruise, while the chef will prepare you fresh meals with high-quality local ingredients.

There are two gulet charter types - a private gulet charter and a cabin charter.

A private gulet charter offers you ultimate comfort and privacy , as well as high flexibility regarding the menu, itinerary, and provisioning. A charter gulet's crew is wholly dedicated to you and your party.   

A cabin charter is a more economical and more convenient alternative to chartering the entire boat since you do not have to have company to charter a cabin . This is a pleasurable way of vacationing that allows you to meet different people . However, you do not have complete freedom since the itineraries and ports of embarkation and disembarkation are fixed and cannot be altered.

B&B Gulet is ideal to charter for you and your partner. If you think the whole sailboat would be too big for you but you still want to enjoy that unique feeling only sailing can bring, opt for Bed & Breakfast Gulet . You get a bedroom and breakfast. Hence the name. We can promise that on a gulet, it's never boring. You will meet new people and it is always dynamic. That's the list of B&B Gulets.

The all-inclusive gulet charter is a whole different story. You will also be provided with a bed but the difference between a B&B Gulet charter and an All Inclusive is that an All Inclusive gulet charter gives you the full package for the biggest enjoyment. You wouldn't have to worry about a thing. All meals are being prepared for you and the same goes for the drinks too. Of course, one always can choose their package which can be tailored to your specific taste . For example, you can drink only soft drinks without alcoholic beverages, or you can decide to skip dinner and eat in a restaurant. The choice is yours to make and with an all-inclusive gulet charter, you have many of them.  

Gulet Charter Holidays

By chartering a gulet , you get a different kind of sailing holiday. It is a very comfortable and carefree cruise on a boat that offers quality accommodation, as well as privacy and the best service possible . Another benefit of a charter gulet is the possibility to make the itinerary according to your wishes. 

Gulet charters vary in size, boat quality, service, and equipment. The higher the price, the more you get for your money. Charter gulets usually have three to eight cabins providing accommodation for up to sixteen guests. A typical gulet charter agreement includes the gulet , crew , insurance , and fuel for 4-5 hours of sailing per day without port taxes and fees. Half board is in many cases included in the price.

Typical Day on a Gulet Charter

A typical day on a gulet ship is not as different from a day on board a sailboat . Except there is less sailing done. The first day on board a gulet looks like this.   

Upon the arrival of the gulet, you are assisted into your cabin. Once you settle, there will be a welcome meeting held on deck. This meeting will also include the briefing regarding the route, as well as the security briefing about life on board.   

The cruise starts right after the meeting, or the following day, depending on the weather conditions and guests’ arrival times. The usual duration of cruising is 3 to 4 hours per day . Charter gulets usually visit a bay or two every day. The best part of the day is spent sunbathing , swimming in some lovely bay, using the boat's fishing equipment, water-skiing, snorkelling or something else, depending on what the gulet is equipped with. You can also spend time reading or playing games. If you moor in a port, you can spend the day sightseeing and exploring the shore around the port. Dining is normally outdoors, on the aft deck, in a port or anchored in some secluded bay, depending on the guests’ wishes.   

Evenings are spent moored in a port or anchored outside the harbour, depending on the availability of places in the port and the preferences of the guests. Guests can also spend the evening outside the charter gulet, exploring the port town, having dinner in a restaurant or enjoying the local nightlife.

Ultimate guide to a gulet sailing experience

Gulets are classic handmade wooden yachts very unique to Turkey and are mainly built in Bodrum and Marmaris on the southwestern coast of the country. They are traditionally two-masted or three-masted vessels about 20 to 30 metres long.

What can I expect from a gulet sailing experience?

A gulet sailing experience is nothing short of idyllic. The Mediterranean coastline in Turkey is beautiful with numerous islands dotted off-shore just waiting to be explored.

Each gulet cruise will have multiple breaks in different scenic bays, small fishing villages, with lots of stops for swimming and snorkelling. You can also bathe in hot springs, see some ancient temples and churches, and enjoy great Turkish and Greek food on the islands.

Will we sail all day?

At night we find a beautiful bay or seaside village to moor up in, with other gulets as your neighbours. In good weather conditions, you sail around three to four hours per day. The captain may sail a bit longer to make up time if the weather didn't permit more sailing the day before.

What can I do on board the gulet?

During your time on board and sailing you do little bits of nothing and truly have a holiday. Swimming, tanning and laying around on the deck relaxing, together with hearty meals are the things to look forward to.

The crew also keep basic snorkelling equipment on board for anyone wishing to spot some sea life during one of the many stops.

What facilities can I expect on board the gulet?

Although the gulets can look similar from the exterior, internally some are extremely luxurious whilst others are more basic.

Traditionally Gulets were purely sail-powered, but these days also have diesel engines to help them along if the wind is still.

All gulets feature comfortable below deck cabins, the vast majority with en-suite bathrooms (toilet, basin, shower), a spacious indoor common area also known as the saloon, and a large deck that is decorated with cushions.

Gulets have between two and ten cabins, depending on the size of the vessel.

The gulets we like to use most have set departure dates that anyone can join and have six en-suite cabins, carrying up to 12 people in total.

When is the best time to go on a gulet sailing experience?

The peak season for gulet sailing is from July to August, with the shoulder seasons of June and September also popular and a little cheaper. On some routes, the boats operate into May and October.

Our shared boat itineraries from Marmaris to Fethiye are four days, from Bodrum to Gokova and back to Bodrum eight days, and our tours from Marmaris to Fethiye and back to Marmaris are also eight days long.

Some of these tours take in several Greek islands along the way. All of these start and endpoints are easily accessible by domestic flights from Istanbul and many low-cost airlines also fly directly into Bodrum and Dalaman (which serves both Fethiye, around 45 minutes away and Marmaris, which is just under a two-hour drive).

We can arrange transfers to and from the airport and the start/finish of your gulet cruise on request.

How big is the crew on a gulet?

Your crew is made up of a captain, a chef and three to four helpers depending on the size of the vessel.

What meals can I expect on a gulet sailing experience?

You are served three main meals per day as well as a tea time refreshment. All meals are served on deck.

Breakfasts are typical Turkish spreads such as olives, cheeses, fruits, bread, pickles and yoghurts.

Lunches are light yet hearty and include items such as pasta, salads, rice and stews.

Dinners are feasts in the form of barbeques whether meat, chicken or fish, served with salads and sides. On the gulets, we enjoy the meals around one large table and everyone on board eats together, which is an essential part of Turkish life.

After dinner, the guests turn in for the night. Despite having their own private cabin, many people prefer to sleep on the deck as the summer nights are warm and tranquil and its a great pleasure to sleep under the stars while hearing the soft sounds of the waves lapping ashore or against the boat.

Overall, gulet cruises are one of Turkey's tourism highlights and one of the country's great holiday experiences. They can be enjoyed on their own as a short holiday, or easily added onto a longer stay in the country, perhaps as an extension onto one of our other Turkey tours.

What is a Gulet? What is it like to charter one?

6th mar 2020 by samantha wilson.

What is a Gulet? and what is it like to charter one?

A Gulet is a classic wooden motor sailing yacht usually built-in Bodrum or Marmaris on the southwestern coast of Turkey. They range in size from a small 15m to a 35m air-conditioned luxury yacht with every conceivable convenience. A Gulet charter is a private holiday, guests put together their own groups and the trip is fully crewed, meaning included in the price is a professional skipper, chef and deckhand or deckhands depending on the size.  While some may believe chartering a private gullet can be expensive, this is not always the case, especially as the sizes increase and the number of guests goes up. Unlike shared Gulet cruises or ‘Blue water cruises’ private Gulet charters come with a couple of different catering options, half board and full board the most common with all-inclusive drinks packages also available. Along with quintessential Turkish and Greek cuisine fresh fish is a favourite with Gulet chefs, it is always worth asking the deckhands if there is the possibility of doing some fishing whilst onboard and catching your own lunch!

As a result of their size, Gulet’s typically comes with a tender (small motorboat or RIB ) with a powerful motor on the back which can be used to explore nearby beaches, take guests into town for lunch or dinner or explore hidden coves and caves. It’s common for a Gulet charter to include water sport activities to be used with this such as water-skiing and wakeboarding, this may be an extra with smaller boats.

If you are looking for a more tranquil holiday then Gulet is the perfect platform to unwind and relax, the vast deck spaces offer multiple areas for a family or group of friends to spend their days without the worry that you’ll be vying for prime sunbathing spots. The aft dining areas of these classic yachts are broad, flat and beautifully presented, dining on them is unlike anything else in yachting. The forward sunbathing areas can be 15m long some even have jacuzzi’s, many have built-in tables provide an ideal location to take in the spectacular Mediterranean sunsets over a glass (or bottle) of your favourite rose.

As well as plenty of deck space the broad beam offered by Gulets provides plenty of room for spacious cabins below. Cabin configurations vary widely, some Gulets can accommodate up to 30 guests across single, double and sometimes quad rooms, 8 – 14 guests charters are more common in standard double a twin setups. They also have a large communal saloon area inside often with a bar and internal dining area that can be used for games and evening entertainment. Only about 50% of Gulets are rigged to sail nowadays, those that do will do so only in favourable conditions, due to their size there is minimal rolling (healing over) providing a very gentle yet enjoyable experience for those not used to life under sail. Quiet diesel engines provide most of the propulsion and journeys are carried out in the early hours to maximise time guests can enjoy swimming and exploring at anchor locations.

Having spent one of my memorable day aboard a Turkish Gulet for a friend’s birthday I can honestly say I’d jump at the chance to spend a week exploring the Turkish, Greek or Italian coastlines on-board one of these characterful vessels. It’s an experience frequent and first-time charterers alike will find totally unique.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
