WHAT IS GULET
What is a gulet? A
small sea craft. A refined version of a
traditional fishing and cargo vessel used by
fisherman and sponge divers to transport
their catch. Romance enclosed: ravishing
sunsets, splashes of sea-water and seagulls
astern. A cabin to dry your hair and have a
drink to get warm after the sunset. Just a
pastime for skippers and skipperesses of
fifteen! Is it? Nothing of the kind.
In the world of yachts watercrafts are
clearly divided into castes, and the
Gulets are the
hand-made
charter yachts.
Their decks are equipped
with many comforts:
several bedrooms
with en-suite toilets and
showers, a saloon with
fine wines and
branded strong drinks, a
dining area at the rear deck, and
sun tanning area on the front deck.
These are the yachts of
comfort and relaxation. Aboard such a
yacht one can go on a voyage, celebrate
jubilees or just have a rest.
Building such a beauty usually costs quite a
sum and lasts for several years. That’s why
along with the new yachts the old ones keep
on furrowing the seas. They get some renewal
at the yards, with restoration of interior
and other alterations. |
