Be Happy

Be Happy is a 20-metre wooden gulet built in 1994 and based year-round at Bodrum Marina. With 5 cabins accommodating up to 10 guests, she operates exclusively as a whole-boat charter, meaning the salon, dining area, open deck and aft swimming platform are reserved for a single group throughout the booking.

Three decades of active sailing have given this gulet a character that newer fibreglass yachts simply cannot offer. The natural timber, the ongoing seasonal upkeep and the lived-in feel of genuine sea use create an atmosphere that guests notice from the moment they step aboard, one that only grows more apparent as the days pass. For travellers who appreciate traditional wooden craftsmanship over a showroom finish, that difference stays with them well after the trip ends.

The 5-cabin layout suits a variety of groups. Friends who want to spend real time together without doubling up in a berth, extended families travelling on one shared itinerary, and colleagues who need group time by day and private rest at night all find the configuration works naturally. Once anchored in a quiet bay, the swimming platform becomes the afternoon's natural gathering point, while the open dining area sets the scene for relaxed evenings as the light fades.

Departing from Bodrum Marina, you can plan a day cruise around the bays of the Bodrum Peninsula, swimming straight off the platform and lingering in each anchorage as long as you like. With more time available, a multi-night blue cruise along the Aegean coast is just as achievable, with anchorages chosen day by day and no fixed schedule imposed. The crew manages navigation and all onboard logistics, leaving guests free to focus on the sea and each other.
