What is a Gullet?
A Gullet, from the French Golette (schooner) is a traditional design of a two-masted wooden sailing vessel from the southwest coast of Turkey, although frequently found all around the Mediterranean (Greece).
These days Turkey's wooden Gullets are mostly configured as motorboat/sailboats, with powerful diesel engines to provide primary power, and sails to provide additional power, or primary power in strong winds. This means you can sail silently when the wind allows, but go wherever you want reliably with motor power. Gullets are particularly good as pleasure sailing vessels because of their broad beam, and plenty of room for spacious cabins below decks.
Turkish and Greece Gullets come in many sizes, from small 15-meter (50-foot)-long craft with the necessary equipment to large, luxurious 33-meter (108-foot) vessels. A Gullet may have from 3 to 12 two-person cabins (for 6 to 24 people), but 5- and 6-cabin vessels capable of sleeping 10 to 12 voyagers are most common. The 2- or 3-person crew usually sleeps in a lazaret at the bow.
Comfort / Recreation: Spacious sun deck area with sun mattresses, sun awning, cushioned aft deck with a large table, deck chairs, spacious saloon with bar and dining table, music set, Dinghy with outboard engine, masks, snorkels, fins and fishing equipment, 1 canoe, 1 windsurfer.
Equipment: Complete navigation equipments, mobile phone, life jackets, fire extinguishers, fully equipped galley, deep freeze, ice boxes, icemaker.
