Be Happy

Be Happy is a 20-metre wooden gulet built in 1994 and based at Bodrum Marina. With five private cabins and berths for ten guests, she is available only as a whole-boat charter: every cabin, the deck, the salon and all shared spaces belong to one group for the full duration of the trip.

A 1994 wooden hull is a genuinely rare find in Bodrum's charter fleet today. Timber construction brings qualities that fibreglass cannot replicate: a distinctive movement through the swell, a solidity underfoot, and a lived-in character that builds only through decades of active sailing. Guests who have deliberately chosen Be Happy over a newer composite yacht tend to notice the difference the moment they step aboard, and that first impression tends to stay with them throughout the cruise.

Sailing from Bodrum Marina, Be Happy suits a broad range of plans. A day charter might mean anchoring in a sheltered cove along the Bodrum Peninsula in the morning, drifting through the midday hours swimming off the stern, and returning to port by evening. Groups with more time can plan a multi-night blue cruise along the Aegean coastline, setting their own pace without following a fixed schedule. The five-cabin layout works well for close groups of friends, multigenerational family gatherings, or any combination of the two.

Throughout the charter, the crew handles all navigation, provisioning and on-board logistics, leaving guests free to focus entirely on the experience.
