A gulet is a broad-beamed, two-masted wooden motor-sailer built for comfortable cruising and generous cabins. Sulawesi yards build them well because the coast already has the hardwood hull knowledge, hand joinery and big-boat tradition a gulet needs.
The Gulet, Defined
The gulet is the wide, comfortable wooden motor-sailer that made the Aegean charter coast famous. It prioritises relaxed cruising, generous cabins and deck living over outright speed — a different animal from the phinisi, but a close cousin in construction.
Why Sulawesi Is a Natural Home for Gulet Building
Everything a gulet needs is already here: large hardwood hull knowledge, deep bench strength in hand joinery, and a tradition of building big wooden vessels. A Sulawesi-built gulet marries that heritage to the layout and comfort the gulet market expects.
From Plans to Launch
Whether you bring your own gulet plans or start from a brief, the path is the same honest sequence: lines and general arrangement, a keel on the beach, a shell-first hardwood hull, then the signature wide teak deck and light cabins. See the gulet builder page for the full picture.
