Cabin Charter vs Private Gulet Charter

What Is a Cabin Charter?

A cabin charter is a shared gulet cruise where guests book individual cabins on a yacht with fixed departure dates and itineraries. It offers a social atmosphere and a standardized service structure, making it a budget-friendly way to experience a blue cruise.

Advantages of Cabin Charters:

  • More affordable blue cruise option

  • Opportunity to meet travelers from around the world

  • Pre-set routes and schedules

Limitations of Cabin Charters:

  • Fixed itineraries and departure dates

  • Limited flexibility

  • Shared spaces and reduced privacy

What Is a Private Gulet Charter?

A private gulet charter offers exclusive use of the entire yacht for you and your group. Routes, schedules, meals, and daily plans are fully customized, providing a relaxed and personalized blue cruise experience.

Advantages of Private Gulet Charters:

  • Complete privacy

  • Flexible routes and schedules

  • Personalized service

  • Ideal for families and private groups

Which Option Is Right for You?

  • If you enjoy a social atmosphere and structured programs → Cabin Charter

  • If you value privacy, flexibility, and tailor-made experiences → Private Gulet Charter

As travel preferences have evolved, private gulet charters have become the preferred choice for guests seeking a more exclusive and personalized blue cruise along the Turkish coast.

Testimonials

  • A boat is much more than a way of travelling. It brings you to places where your dreams can come true. In our case, we have spent two marvellous weeks navigating between Turkey and Greece. Moreover, the services provided by Sunshine Cruising were not only Professional, they were friendly. A %100 satisfaction quote is not exagerated. Sincere thanks to Esra and her team.

We enjoyed it very very much and we nearly forgot the pricing!! Thank you for everything. We will come again – for sure, best regards from Austria!

  • Hi together, First time I visited this country. At our home we have many neighbours from Turkey but we never visited Turkey. Now I was here and can tell that to our neighbours. This week, we find so many nice places on our way to Bozburun and back. So many nice bays hold us safe over night, swimming, fishing and the beer we could enjoy every day. The ship is in a good and safe condition. Many thanks for the nice days!

  • Bu dördüncü gelişimiz Marmaris'e. Herbiri, birbirinden güzel bir tatil oldu. Denizi, havası hiç bizi üzmedi. Kiraladığımız tekneler temiz ve bakımlılardı. Bunun için Sunshine Cruising’e bütün arkadaşlar ismine teşekkür ederim.
