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.

Why this is a great starting point

Split's East Harbour is the natural launch point for exploring the central Dalmatian islands, with Hvar, Vis, and Brač all within half a day's sailing; the Pakleni Islands offer protected anchorages for your first night out. Week 1 typically involves working south along the Dalmatian coast under prevailing northwesterly winds, island-hopping between quiet bays and established towns with good provisioning. The Adriatic's reliable thermal winds mean consistent daily sailing conditions, and you'll return to Split with time to explore the city's Roman Palace before flying home.

Can Gideon be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gideon bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Gideon?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
