Aganippe

Aganippe is a 26.6-metre wooden gulet built in 2008 and based permanently at Bodrum Marina. Four private cabins accommodate up to eight guests, and the yacht operates exclusively as a whole-boat charter. From the moment the lines are cast off to the day of return, every space on board, the salon, the dining area, the deck and all four cabins, belongs entirely to one group. There are no other guests to coordinate with, no shared schedule, and no compromise on privacy.

Keeping guest capacity at eight has a direct effect on life aboard. On larger gulets the deck fills quickly, particularly during long summer evenings. On Aganippe, space stays genuinely open throughout the day: morning swims begin when the group decides, afternoon anchorages remain calm and quiet, and dinners move at whatever pace the table prefers. Families, close groups of friends and small private gatherings consistently find this scale well-suited to a week spent at sea.

As a Bodrum yacht charter, Aganippe suits both shorter coastal trips and full-week blue cruises. A few days can be devoted to the sheltered coves and quieter bays along the Bodrum Peninsula, while a longer passage can take the group toward the Gulf of Gökova or the more secluded anchorages near Datça. No fixed itinerary is imposed: the route is discussed with the group before departure and can be adjusted as weather and preferences evolve. The professional crew handles navigation, meals and anchoring throughout, leaving guests free of any logistical responsibility.

Gulet charter from Bodrum works well for first-time blue cruise guests and experienced returning sailors alike. Demand for peak-season berths at Bodrum Marina is consistently high, so planning ahead is worthwhile. Reach out to check availability and receive a quote matched to your group's preferred dates.
