Bodrum Gulet · 25m (1995)

Built at the Bodrum yards in 1995, this 25-metre wooden gulet represents a period of Turkish craftsmanship that produced traditional hulls of exceptional durability and character. Authentic examples from that mid-1990s era have become noticeably scarce on the water, and this vessel is among the handful still offering private charter from Bodrum Marina on a consistent basis. The quality of upkeep is evident throughout: deck planking, hardware and the warmth of well-seasoned timber all carry a presence that newer builds rarely manage to replicate. Guests who have sailed traditional wooden gulets before tend to recognise the difference the moment they step aboard.

Five private cabins accommodate up to ten guests, and the yacht is available exclusively as a whole-boat charter for a single private group. From the moment you cast off from Bodrum Marina, every cabin, the salon and the full run of deck space belong entirely to your party. That arrangement works particularly well for families, close-knit groups of friends, or any gathering that wants complete control over the pace of the trip: meals on your own schedule, swim stops chosen on a whim, and evenings at anchor without a shared timetable to negotiate.

At 25 metres, the gulet fits comfortably into sheltered anchorages along the Bodrum peninsula that larger vessels simply cannot reach, giving the itinerary a degree of flexibility that is difficult to overstate on a coastline this rich in quiet coves. Day cruises among the bays of the peninsula make a natural starting point and suit groups with limited time. If your schedule allows, a multi-day Aegean blue cruise is equally within reach, moving at whatever pace your group prefers, with course changes made spontaneously as conditions and moods dictate.

Bodrum gulet charters that combine genuine 1990s wooden construction with full private use are growing harder to secure each season. For availability, current rates and help building an itinerary around your dates, get in touch directly.
