| Gulets
are built by craftsmen, by hand from local pine and mulberry on the Turkish
Mediterranean coast, and from local oak and chestnut on the Black Sea. Their
superstructures are usually of teak, iroko or mahogany. These boats are
equipped with motors as well as fully functional ketch, schooner, guletta
or gaff riggings. |

In
our Vela Dare collection, the number of passengers on a boat depends on
the yacht’s size and design. Boats are also available for smaller groups.
All the gulets offer their guests separate accommodation, services and entertainment.
The crew have theirown quarters and you will find them friendly and helpful.
Vela Dare’s flagship, the Amazon Solo, sets the standard for the gulets
in our collection. The cabins are well-appointed and spacious with en suite
bathrooms. Most boats boats have air-conditioning in the cabins, cooling
them comfortably for an afternoon siesta and for the night. During the night
and in the marinas, to prevent noise from the generator, the system is turned
off. Lounges are big enough to seat all guests, should they prefer to dine
or relax below deck. On-deck, accommodation is generous, with sunloungers
and mattresses for guests to enjoy the Mediterranean sun. Aft-deck and mid-deck
lounges, with sun awnings, offer cooler alternative areas in which to relax.Gulets
in many ways are like small full-service hotels where every room has a constantly
changing sea view. There is also no better way of enjoying a cooling swim,
whilst at anchor in turquoise waters. At Vela Dare we take the maintenance
of our yachts very seriously. When they leave port all are ‘ship shape’,
however yachts, unlike hotel rooms, have many moving parts, are driven by
the wind, exposed to the sun and soaked by the sea. During your holiday
the crews are able to fix any minor faults that may occur, so do not hesitate
to tell them.
