BenSwiss

BenSwiss is a 17.15-metre sailing yacht built in 2014, berthed at Gumbet Marina on the Bodrum Peninsula. Three private cabins sleep up to six guests, and the yacht operates exclusively as a whole-boat charter. From the moment a reservation is confirmed, every square metre of deck and interior belongs to a single group, making BenSwiss a natural choice for families and close-knit travel parties of four to six.

The most obvious distinction between BenSwiss and the motorised fleet sharing the same berths becomes clear once the sails are up and the engine falls quiet. The persistent background vibration and noise that define a powerboat passage simply disappear, replaced by the deliberate, unhurried movement of a wind-driven hull through the water. For anyone considering a Bodrum yacht charter with genuine sailing as the priority, that difference defines the quality of the entire trip. Launched in 2014, BenSwiss sits among the newer sailing yachts operating from this base, and her well-maintained interior reflects that relative youth.

From Gumbet, a day sail can reach sheltered coves and quieter anchorages along the Bodrum coastline. Groups with more time can plan a multi-day blue cruise, choosing for themselves where to drop anchor for an afternoon swim, which bay to moor for the night, and which stretch of coast invites a slower pace. No fixed route is set in advance; all navigational decisions throughout the charter remain with the group on board.

Three cabins across six guests strikes a sensible balance between personal space and cost per person. After a full day at sea, each guest can retire to a private cabin without the overhead of booking a significantly larger vessel. For those seeking a sailing charter out of Bodrum rather than a motorised excursion, BenSwiss delivers a quality of passage that a powerboat cannot replicate.
