6 – 12 people Medium Group: For such groups gulets are ideal as they have options with many cabins then other options. 4 & 6 cabins gullet options are most possible options, gulets have spacious deck areas and bigger cabins compared to other yacht types.
12 – 20 Large Group: You should search for traditional and luxury gulets for your group as there are many options with 6 – 8 and 10 cabins. Instead of booking a mini-cruise ship, big gulets will comfort you a lot and they offer more luxury economical.
Tips: According to the maritime law all children reached 1 year old are considered as individuals.
