Motorsailer

A motor sailer charter offers a private holiday at sea on a yacht designed for both engine and sail power. While the boat has proper cabins and a cook on board and sets sail when the wind is favourable, you can enjoy the experience of both a motor yacht and a sailboat. Guletsailor’s wide fleet of motor sailers, ranging from Greece to Croatia and Turkey, are at your disposal to provide the ultimate experience in comfort and luxury.

What Is a Motor Sailer Yacht?

A motor sailer is a cruising yacht that has both a working rig and working engines. Depending on the weather conditions, the motor sailer can be powered by either of them. This unique design enables the boat to travel in calm waters without a breeze while sailing, when the weather allows. When chartering a motor sailer, the entire boat is hired. Guests sleep in en-suite cabins, eat in the cockpit or saloon, and swim from the stern. The captain decides when to use the engines and when to sail. A calm morning does not mean the day is cancelled. An afternoon breeze does not have to be ignored just because the timetable is tight.

Who Is a Motor Sailer Charter Ideal For?

A motor sailer charter is suitable for everyone. Honeymoon motor sailer charters or smaller ones for couples provide a quieter deck and a high chance of a real sailing afternoon. Families prefer motor sailer charters because the boat remains stable when anchored and the crew can attend to the children’s every need. Luxury and ultra-luxury motor sailer charters offer a different experience that many people find appealing. These motor sailers are designed to provide a top-tier experience with onboard amenities, high-end cabins, and service.

Motor Sailer Layouts, Cabins and Features

Motor sailers usually accommodate between six and twenty-one guests in three to nine cabins. Smaller boats are ideal for two or three couples. Larger yachts can accommodate a family and friends, provided the cockpit can still hold a full-size table. Each Guletsailor motor sailer has a unique design and features. While luxurious motor sailers have more amenities, from jacuzzis to water toys, the compact designs offer a more unique and relaxing experience. Whatever kind of holiday you are planning, you can be sure that our team will support you every step of the way!

Motor Sailer Charter Prices and Cost Factors

The price of a motor sailor charter can change depending on several factors, such as the length of the boat, the number of cabins, the quality of the finish, the season, and any extras or special requests you may have. During the summer peak season, demand is usually higher and charter prices increase. If you are looking for a more affordable motor sailer charter, consider booking outside of the peak season.

Motor Sailer vs Gulet vs Motor Yacht

A motor sailer is designed for cruising under both power and sail. A gulet is a wider wooden motor-sailer primarily designed for living space and short coastal trips. Its sails may be raised for atmosphere. They rarely determine the day’s schedule. A motor yacht does away with the sailing aspect and uses speed to change bays twice a day. The motor sailer is the middle ground between a gulet and a motor yacht. While you can still travel with the sails, you can also use the engines, which frees you from weather conditions and allows you to travel according to your own schedule.

What Is Included in a Crewed Charter?

A crewed motor sailer charter includes everything you could possibly need during your holiday. The standard package includes the yacht, its equipment, a captain and a crew. The crew will also fuel the yacht for up to four hours of cruising every day. The crew will supply and launder bed linen, towels and beach towels. The cook will prepare and serve your meals. Food provisions, water toys, extras beyond the daily allowance, and other additional costs such as crew gratuity are not included in the weekly charter rate. The charter rate may also change depending on the route chosen.
