Arabella

Arabella is a 32-metre wooden gulet built in 2007, berthed at Bodrum Marina and chartered exclusively as a whole vessel. Eight guests occupy four private cabins, and from the moment the lines are cast off until the return to port, every square metre of the yacht belongs to a single group. The saloon, the deck and all cabins are yours alone; there are no other passengers on board.

At 32 metres, Arabella sits at a genuinely practical point within the gulet category. She carries enough interior volume for eight adults to spend consecutive nights at sea in real comfort, while her dimensions still allow access to the shallower anchorages and narrower coves that larger vessels routinely have to pass by. A professional crew handles all navigation, mooring and on-board operations throughout, leaving guests free to swim, snorkel or linger at anchor for as long as they like.

The structure of your charter is yours to shape. A leisurely day cruise through the Bodrum bays is a relaxed way to get acquainted with the yacht, while a multi-night Aegean blue cruise can be arranged just as easily. With a full week on board, routes that take in the sheltered inlets of the Datça Peninsula or the ancient headland at Knidos become very achievable, with as much or as little time at each stop as your group prefers. When to weigh anchor, where to spend the night and whether lunch is served below or on the aft deck under open sky: none of this follows a fixed schedule on a private Bodrum yacht charter.

Arabella is a particularly strong fit for families, close-knit friend groups and corporate parties for whom full exclusivity is a firm priority. Chartering the entire vessel compares favourably on a per-person basis against comparable coastal accommodation, and offers a level of independence that no hotel or villa can match.
