TURKEY - Home of Gulets

Turkey is a mother country when it comes to gulets. With over 3.000 gulets, and huge boatyard areas in Bodrum, Istanbul, Antalya, Marmaris, Fethiye and Bozburum, more and more gulets are being produced. Also the quality of gulets is moving towards super luxury more and more. So when it comes to buying a gulet, it is hard to think about any other country then Turkey. There are around 150 or more gulets being build every year and boatyards are filled up with orders for some years to come.

WHY CONSIDERING TO BUY A GULET IN CROATIA

Event ought the prices are very good and the choices are almost unlimited, when it comes to buying a gulet for business and chartering it outside Turkey, you can encounter some problems. Most of the gulets that are older than 5 years are built by very capable craftsmen in Turkey and they really look very good. But unfortunately most of this gulets are not build by any standards such as Loyd, Veritas, Rina or similar which means it is almost impossible to make charters with them outside Turkey. So unless you are willing to put a lot of money in renovations in order to obtain these papers, you have to be careful.
On the other hand, Croatia has one the world’s toughest registration companies in the world and gulets that are already making charter in Croatia must have proper papers and must be kept in the good conditions to keep them.

So in order to save yourself a lot of paper work and extra money investments on renovations, it is easier to buy a gulet in Croatia, with all the papers and licenses already obtained. This means that these kinds of gulets are usually easily exported to other countries.

WHY TURKEY IS STILL NO.1
So Croatia is defiantly interesting for used second hand gulets which offer great business opportunity, but Turkey still has the biggest offer. If you are looking for gulet for your own pleasure, or you would charter it in Turkey only, we still recommend you visit Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye or any other Turkish port and we will be happy to show you around.
Also for NEW BUILDING PROJECTS, you can not get such a luxury vessels anywhere in the world for such attractive prices.
