A gulet is a broad wooden motor-sailer with cabins below and a great deal of deck, crewed as standard and usually sold with food included. They are Turkish boats by origin and Sicily is the western edge of where they work, running the Aeolians and the north coast in summer. They are also the least publicly priced product in this entire record.
Ask several charter companies what your week costs
What a gulet charter actually is
Crew, cabins and a boat that motors more than it sails. A gulet week is closer to a small floating hotel with an itinerary than to a bareboat charter, and it is priced as such: by the boat or sometimes by the cabin, with a cook aboard and meals normally included. That inclusion is the thing to pin down, because two gulet quotes that look the same can differ by the entire food bill.
Why no price appears here
No company in this record publishes a Sicilian gulet week; the only published gulet prices are Turkish. That is a dated absence rather than an omission: the companies were read on 11 September 2026. GuletBroker publishes Turkish crewed gulets by class, 7,000 to 9,000 EUR a week for a standard boat in low season and 14,000 to 17,000 in high season, with named boats from 11,500 EUR out of Fethiye, read on 11 September 2026. For an order of magnitude on crewed charter generally, Sailing Holidays in Croatia publishes an average crewed catamaran at 10.000 EUR a week and crewed luxury from 25.000 EUR, and a Sicilian gulet sits in that broad territory.
The Aeolian week a gulet suits
Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Panarea and Stromboli are close together, deep, and often without shelter for a monohull that wants to anchor comfortably. A gulet's size and its willingness to motor make it a good fit for that chain, particularly with a group that wants to swim and eat rather than sail. Ask specifically whether Stromboli by night is on the itinerary, because it is the reason many people book the week.
Questions people ask about gulet charter sicily
How much is a gulet charter in Sicily?
No company in this record publishes a Sicilian gulet rate. The nearest published gulet figures are Turkish: guletBroker publishes Turkish crewed gulets by class, 7,000 to 9,000 EUR a week for a standard boat in low season and 14,000 to 17,000 in high season, with named boats from 11,500 EUR out of Fethiye, read on 11 September 2026.
Is food included on a gulet charter?
Usually, but not always, and it is the single biggest difference between two similar-looking quotes. Ask whether the price is per boat or per cabin and what meals it covers.
How many crew are on a gulet?
Typically a captain, a cook and one or two deckhands depending on size. The crew count is worth asking about because it changes both the service and the price.
