BenSwiss

BenSwiss is a 17.15-metre sailing yacht built in 2014 and based at Gumbet Marina on the Bodrum Peninsula. Three private cabins sleep up to six guests, and the yacht is hired exclusively as a whole boat: from the moment a booking is confirmed, the deck belongs entirely to your group. For families or a close group of four to six, this arrangement delivers genuine privacy that a shared cruise simply cannot replicate.

What separates BenSwiss from the motorised fleet at Gumbet Marina becomes clear the moment the sails fill and the engine goes quiet. The mechanical vibration and background noise of a powered hull give way to the smooth, purposeful movement of a wind-driven yacht cutting cleanly through the Aegean. Launched in 2014, BenSwiss ranks among the newer sailing yachts operating from this base, and that relative freshness is evident in the condition of her interior and in the reliable performance she delivers on longer passages. For anyone exploring Bodrum yacht charter options with real sailing time as a priority, the difference is tangible and worth seeking out.

A single day out of Gumbet can take in the sheltered coves and quieter anchorages scattered along the Bodrum coastline. Groups with more time can plan a multi-day blue cruise across the Aegean, choosing for themselves where to drop anchor for an afternoon swim, which bay to settle into for the night, and where to slow down and linger. No fixed itinerary is imposed on board, and every navigational decision stays with the people on deck.

Three cabins for six guests strikes a practical balance between personal space and the cost per head. After a full day at sea, every guest has a private cabin to retreat to, without the additional expense of stepping up to a substantially larger yacht. For those prioritising a sailing holiday out of Bodrum over a powered day trip, BenSwiss offers something a motorboat cannot match: a quiet, efficient passage driven by wind along one of Turkey's most rewarding stretches of Aegean coastline.
