The New Era of Chartering a Private Yacht with Goolets

In the rarefied world of private yacht travel, luxury has long been synonymous with extravagance—exclusive, expensive, and often excessive. But along the sun-kissed shores of Croatia, a quieter revolution is underway. One that reimagines the experience of sailing not as indulgence for indulgence’s sake, but as a deeply personal journey designed with intention, elegance, and authenticity.

Enter Goolets: a company reshaping the seascape of bespoke travel through its refined approach to luxury yacht charter. With Goolets, chartering a private yacht becomes not only attainable but exquisitely tailored. Forget rigid itineraries and cookie-cutter offerings—each voyage is crafted around your desires, your group, and your pace, delivering the kind of exclusivity that feels both rare and refreshingly real.

For those who value privacy, personalization, and purposeful travel, Goolets offers more than just a yacht—it offers an experience. One that blends world-class service with the serenity of the Adriatic, creating unforgettable moments on the water without the inflated price tag so often found in more saturated markets.

When you charter a Goolets yacht, the entire vessel is reserved exclusively for you and your guests. This isn’t a cruise with strangers or a shared experience with others — it’s your floating villa, with every square meter dedicated to your comfort, your rhythm, and your story.

Whether it’s a multigenerational family gathering, a milestone celebration among friends, or a romantic week away with just your partner, the yacht becomes your private domain. There are no set itineraries, no rigid meal times, and no compromises. Instead, you set the pace. 

You choose the destinations. The only limit is your imagination.

Goolets’ thoughtfully curated fleet reflects the spectrum of modern luxury at sea — from contemporary innovation to time-honored tradition. Each vessel is more than a way to travel; it’s an immersive experience designed around you.

At the forefront are the motor yachts, ideal for larger private groups, with some accommodating up to 36 guests. In a charter market where intimacy often limits scale, these vessels stand apart. Their expansive layouts and smart design provide the atmosphere of a private resort, complete with high-end features like wellness areas, professional gyms, cinema rooms, on-deck jacuzzis, and a plethora of water sports equipment. Despite their size, these yachts are remarkably fuel-efficient, offering both grandeur and sustainability in equal measure.

Equally compelling are Goolets’ motor sailing yachts — a category that perfectly captures the evolution of yachting in Croatia. These vessels are newly built, expertly crafted by Croatian shipbuilders, and available exclusively for charter in this part of the world. Sleek and modern, they feature spacious layouts, elegant interiors, and the kind of refined design details that appeal to today’s discerning traveler. On deck, a jacuzzi offers a front-row seat to the horizon; inside, you’ll find light-filled salons, stylish suites, and a layout that balances openness with privacy.

Motor sailing yachts represent a harmonious blend: the elegance and ambiance of classic sail with the comfort, performance, and aesthetic of a luxury motor yacht. They are ideal for those who value heritage but demand a modern, five-star experience.

Rounding out the fleet are Goolets’ gulets — traditional wooden sailing yachts that evoke the romance of Mediterranean exploration. Rich with character and handcrafted charm, these vessels invite guests to embrace a slower pace, savoring sun-drenched afternoons on deck and tranquil evenings under the stars. Each gulet is unique, offering a soulful, immersive connection to the Adriatic’s storied seafaring past.

Nowhere does the concept of private chartering come to life more vividly than along Croatia’s Dalmatian coast. With over a thousand islands scattered like jewels across the Adriatic, the possibilities are endless — and gloriously uncrowded.

You might begin your journey in Split, then drift toward the lavender-scented hills of Hvar, where glamorous beach clubs coexist with quiet medieval streets. Explore the secluded bays of Brač, the blue-hued caves of Biševo, or the untouched beauty of the Kornati archipelago — each destination unfolding like a chapter in a story only you are reading.

Anchored far from the crowds, you and your group enjoy Croatia on your own terms — sunbathing in silence, dining under the stars, diving into warm waters before breakfast. The yacht doesn’t just take you there — it is the experience.

Picture this: the sun rising gently over a quiet bay, your guests slowly gathering on the aft deck for a breakfast of freshly-made pastries, fresh fruit, and delicious coffee. The air is still, save for the soft lapping of the sea and a distant church bell echoing from shore.

Your captain suggests a morning sail to a nearby island accessible only by boat. You agree, and within the hour, you’re snorkeling in crystalline water, far from the reach of conventional tourism. Lunch is grilled on deck — fresh catch, Croatian wine, and laughter that drifts across the sea.

In the afternoon, perhaps a paddleboard session or a nap in the shade of the flybridge. 

Evening brings a curated multi-course menu prepared by your chef, served al fresco, followed by stargazing and stories shared beneath the night sky.

With over 20 years of experience and an impeccable reputation, Goolets doesn’t just book yachts — they craft private, bespoke voyages designed to exceed expectations at every turn. Their team brings a rare blend of maritime knowledge, hospitality expertise, and local insight, ensuring that every detail — from the food and drinks to the sailing route — is perfectly aligned with your vision.

From the moment of inquiry to the final disembarkation, Goolets becomes your guide, your concierge, and your advocate at sea. It’s an experience grounded in discretion, elevated by excellence, and defined by the joy of true customization.

In a world where “luxury” is often overused, a private yacht charter reclaims its meaning. It is about space — both physical and mental. It is about choice. It is about connection: to loved ones, to nature, and to yourself.

With Goolets, this becomes more than a promise — it becomes a reality.

For those seeking not just escape, but elevation, there is perhaps no better way to travel than aboard your own private yacht, with those who matter most, in the hands of those who understand what true luxury means.
