Spark 1

Spark 1 is a Bavaria 40 Cruiser sailing yacht built in 2010, berthed at Bodrum Marina on the Turkish Aegean coast. Measuring 12.19 metres in length, she accommodates up to seven guests across three cabins and six berths, making her a practical and well-proportioned choice for a private group charter.

The boat's equipment list goes well beyond the basics. Two electrical heads with showers, a coffee machine, a gas stove and oven, and two refrigerators, one fitted with an ice-making compartment, give the galley genuine self-sufficiency. Bed linen, blankets and towels are provided at no extra cost. A solar energy system paired with new batteries keeps power flowing throughout the day without shore connection, while a bow thruster and full electronics make handling straightforward for skippers of varying experience levels. Snorkelling gear, fishing equipment and a set of table games come included on board, and Spark 1 is both child and pet friendly. The teak deck, generous sunbathing surfaces and aft swimming platform round out the on-deck experience considerably.

From Bodrum Marina you can plan day sails into the surrounding bays and coves, or extend the voyage into a multi-day blue cruise through the Gulf of Gökova and Hisarönü bay. The prevailing meltemi wind, which runs between May and October, typically holds at a steady three to five Beaufort through the day before easing after sunset, giving sailing yachts consistent, manageable conditions and calm overnight anchorages. Pine-forested shores, clear turquoise water and a dense network of mooring spots make this one of the more rewarding areas for Aegean yacht charter.

Spark 1 is chartered as a whole boat for one private group, so your party has full use of every space on board throughout the voyage. Whether you prefer a skippered arrangement or a bareboat charter can be confirmed at the time of booking. For a sailing yacht of this size, condition and specification, her pricing sits at the competitive end of the Bodrum yacht charter market, offering genuine value without sacrificing comfort or reliability.
