Today gulets are mostly made as motor-sailers, with diesel engines and sails to provide additional power.

Gulets come in different sizes, from small 15-meter long craft with the necessary equipment to large, luxurious 35-meter (108-foot) air-conditioned vessels with every convenience and luxury. They may have from 3 to 15 two-person cabins (for 6 to 30 people). 5 or 6 cabin vessels capable of sleeping 10 to 12 persons are most common. Gulets are very popular for charter proposes today because of their wide beam, which gives them lots of deck space and plenty of rooms for spacious cabins below decks. All cabins have their own en suite bathroom with a pull-out shower hose attached at the basin. In the cabin you are provided with bath and hand towels, linen and a blanket. Cabins have 12 volt or 220 volt electricity. The electricity on most Gulets runs at 12 V or 24 V. The 3 or 4 person crew usually sleeps in a forward part of the vessel.

The stern deck of a gulet is broad, fitted with a low, wide cushioned bench all around which is perfect for lounging, reading or just relaxing. The stern deck area, shaded by an awning if the sun is hot, is large enough for a small table for games, drinks or simple meals. Foredeck is the place for sunbathing. All gulets are equipped with necessary navigation and safety equipment like GPS Charterplotter, VHF radio station, life rafts, life belts and stereo cassette or CD player and a selection of cassettes and CD-s. Many of the newer vessels have a cellular telephone, TV, video player and CD player. All gulets have a tender with either oars or an outboard engine.
