What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
29 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Stylish gulet for groups Gideon is a classic 33.5-metre gulet that suits larger parties and groups looking for that traditional wooden-vessel experience with modern comfort. At 8 cabins sleeping up to 16, it's ideal for multi-family charters or corporate retreats wanting to explore coastlines together rather than split across multiple boats.
Well-equipped for relaxation The standout features here are practical: air conditioning throughout (essential on a gulet), snorkeling kit, Wi-Fi, and a dinghy for exploring anchorages. The ice maker and paddle boards suggest the operator understands what today's guests actually want, cold drinks and easy water access without fuss.
Solid value proposition Built in 1997, Gideon offers genuine character at what should be a reasonable rate for a 16-berth vessel. The zero deposit is genuinely attractive, meaning you're not tying up cash before you arrive, helpful when you're flying in from overseas.
Age worth considering The main caveat: she's 27 years old, which isn't ancient for a gulet but does mean maintenance and systems matter more. Ask Bloem directly about recent refits, engine work, and what "air conditioning" actually covers, some gulets cool cabins brilliantly, others less so. It's worth the five minutes to clarify before committing.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
