About this Yacht
Why Gulet NAUTILUS is the Best Vessel for a Large Group of 16 in the Adriatic? For a large group of 16 people, Gulet NAUTILUS is not just a good choice—it is one of the very few yachts in the Adriatic that is perfectly structured to handle this many guests comfortably, affordably, and cohesively. The superiority of NAUTILUS rests on three key elements: Ideal Layout, Gulet Experience, and Affordable Luxury.
• The Ideal Layout: 8 Cabins for 16 Guests. The single biggest logistical challenge for a group of 16 is accommodation. The NAUTILUS Advantage: NAUTILUS offers 8 dedicated double cabins, each with its own private, en-suite bathroom (with a home-style toilet and shower box).The Result: Every couple or pair of guests has their own private space with equal standing. There is no need for awkward discussions about who gets the Master Suite, or who has to sleep on a pull-out sofa or in a twin cabin. This equality is crucial for group harmony on a long trip.
• Maximum Socialization & Space. The Gulet design, which is wide and spacious, is inherently better suited for large groups who want to socialize together, especially in a region like Croatia where the experience is focused on sun and sea.
• The Deck: At 31 meters (101ft) long and 7 meters wide, the deck space is vast. It features: Alfresco Dining: A huge aft deck table that comfortably seats all 16 guests together for shaded breakfast and lunch (the heart of the gulet experience)
• Foredeck Sunbathing: Ample sun mattresses and cushions on the foredeck mean the entire group can relax and sunbathe simultaneously without fighting for space.
• Jacuzzi: The on-deck Jacuzzi is a premium feature, particularly rare on gulets of this size, offering a central, luxurious gathering spot.
• The Vibe: The gulet style prioritizes communal outdoor living, which is exactly what a large group needs. It fosters a relaxed, shared experience
• Value Proposition: Gulet vs. Motor Yacht. Booking a motor yacht for 16 people would require booking a vessel well over 45 meters, often costing four to five times the price due to much higher fuel costs and charter rates.
• Fixed Food & Beverage Costs: Gulets operate on a Half Board (breakfast/lunch) or Full Board mandatory meal plan, often with an optional All-Inclusive Drinks Package. This is a huge budget advantage for a large group. The Benefit: You know your food and beverage costs upfront, eliminating the worry of huge, variable bills (APA) typically associated with motor yachts. Crew Stability: NAUTILUS runs with a highly professional crew of 4, including a Captain, Chef, Deckhand and Steward, who are experienced in managing large groups and delivering high-quality, local cuisine daily.
• Included Toys: The yacht comes equipped with water toys like kayaks, paddleboards, water skis, and wakeboards (usage of motorized toys is often extra, but the equipment is ready).
