Here are 10 tips to keep your gulet trip along the Turkish coast budget-friendly while ensuring a memorable experience:
- Book Early or Off-Season
- Tip: Book your gulet trip well in advance to lock in better rates, or consider traveling during the shoulder seasons (May, June, September, October) when prices are lower but the weather is still great.

- Choose a Budget Friendly Gulet
- Tip: Go for a gulet with basic amenities rather than luxury features. You’ll still have everything you need for comfort, but without the extra cost of luxury services like jacuzzis or high-end cabins.
- Look for All-Inclusive or Full-Board Packages
- Tip: Many gulets offer all-inclusive or full-board deals, which cover meals and sometimes drinks. This eliminates the need to dine out, helping you save money on food.
- Bring Your Own Snacks and Drinks
- Tip: While meals might be included, drinks (especially alcohol) are often extra. Stock up on snacks and beverages before the trip at local markets to avoid paying a premium on board.
- Limit Paid Excursions
- Tip: Many gulets offer optional excursions, but these can add up. Instead, focus on the free activities like swimming, snorkeling, and exploring small villages when the boat docks.
- Stay Flexible with Your Itinerary
- Tip: Flexibility can help you find the best deals. Some gulets may offer discounts for longer stays or less popular routes, so being open to minor itinerary changes can save money.
- Travel with a Group
- Tip: If you’re booking a private gulet, travel with a larger group to split the cost. The price per person decreases significantly when the cost is shared among family and friends.
- Ask for Local Recommendations
- Tip: If you dock at small towns or villages, ask the crew or locals for affordable dining or activity recommendations. They’ll likely point you to authentic, budget-friendly spots off the tourist trail.
These tips will help you keep costs down while making the most of your time on the Turkish coast.
