Kalypso

Kalypso is a 13.25-metre sailing yacht built in 2008 and berthed at Gümbet Marina on the western side of the Bodrum peninsula. Four private cabins accommodate up to eight guests, and the yacht is chartered as a whole boat only. Your group has sole use of every cabin, the saloon and the full deck from departure to return, with no other parties on board at any stage.

The charter is offered on a bareboat basis, meaning neither skipper nor crew is included in the fee. For groups holding a recognised sailing licence and the required sea hours, this arrangement places complete decision-making in your own hands. You set the heading, choose the anchorage, linger as long as the afternoon allows and move on at whatever pace suits the group. It is a structure that works especially well for two or three couples sharing costs, a tight-knit group of friends, or a family that simply wants unstructured time at sea without an external timetable.

Gümbet Marina's position on the western tip of the peninsula gives Kalypso uncomplicated access to open Aegean water. The quieter coves and bays along the Bodrum coastline are well within reach before midday crowds gather, making a relaxed full-day sail with a long, sheltered lunch stop a natural option for a group of this size. If your schedule allows for more time, you can plan a multi-day blue cruise along the Aegean coast: departing early before the meltemi picks up, spending long afternoons at anchor in calm water and settling into less-visited coves each evening. At this length, Kalypso handles that kind of self-directed, unhurried sailing pace very comfortably.

The four cabins give every guest a proper private retreat, while the saloon and deck provide enough shared space for the group to gather without the boat feeling crowded. That balance between personal comfort and collective ease makes Kalypso a well-proportioned choice for a Bodrum yacht charter where every call is your own.
