Sailing is dependent on weather conditions; typically, we try to sail a minimum of two times in a weekly tour ( as weather permits). Life on a Gulet yacht is very much subject to the weather, primarily to winds. A trip that may take two hours when the wind is on your side could take five if it is against you. Opening the sails for a good sail, for obvious reasons, also depends on the right combination of elements. Mooring in one cove versus another, likewise, is determined by the direction the wind will be hitting the Gulet yacht at night - something that could make the difference between a miserable or a comfortable night. For these reasons, the captain is in charge of the program on our Gulet yacht. The itinerary may have to be slightly altered or rearranged depending on sailing and mooring conditions, but rest assured that the captain will always have your best interests in mind.
