Il Fratello

Il Fratello is a 24-metre wooden gulet, hand built in 2002 and permanently based at Bodrum Marina. It was completed at a time when fibreglass had already become the norm in yacht construction, which places it among a small number of handcrafted wooden gulets still sailing the Aegean charter scene today. More than two decades of consistent maintenance have kept the hull close to its original condition, and the character of well-kept timber has only deepened with age.

Four private cabins accommodate up to eight guests, in a layout that balances personal space with the warmth of shared living areas. The salon and deck are generously sized while retaining the intimate feel typical of a wooden-built yacht.

One detail that sets Il Fratello apart from many comparable gulets is its shallow draft. Deeper-keeled boats often cannot reach the most sheltered coves along the Bodrum peninsula, whereas Il Fratello can anchor in spots that remain out of reach for them, opening up a wider choice of stops along this part of the coast.

Il Fratello is available strictly as a whole-boat charter. For the duration of a booking, every cabin, deck area and shared space belongs to a single private group, with no other guests aboard. It suits families, groups of close friends and anyone who values uninterrupted privacy at sea. A professional crew handles navigation, anchoring and deck duties, and catering can be arranged around the group's preferences and dietary needs.

For a Bodrum yacht charter that stays close to the peninsula, you can plan a day cruise among the sheltered bays, with swimming stops and deck lunches at a pace the group sets itself. With more time, a multi-day blue cruise along the Aegean coast can be arranged, calling at anchorages chosen for the group's own interests rather than a fixed route. Among Bodrum gulet charter options built on genuine wooden craftsmanship, careful long-term upkeep and complete privacy, Il Fratello stands out as a solid choice.
