Il Fratello

Il Fratello is a handbuilt wooden gulet launched in 2002, measuring 24 metres in length and permanently based at Bodrum Marina. In a charter market where fibreglass production hulls have become the standard, Il Fratello represents a deliberate alternative: traditional timber construction that carries its own distinct character and improves with considered maintenance over time. That character is apparent the moment you step aboard, running coherently from the bow cabins through the salon and dining area to the aft deck.

The woodwork throughout is structural rather than cosmetic. The 24-metre hull has been used thoughtfully to create genuine warmth and spaciousness across all four private cabins and the shared living areas. Il Fratello has been maintained with the same care and precision that shaped it at launch, which means its quality is not a first-impression effect but something that holds across the duration of a charter. A practical bonus comes from the yacht's shallow draft, which opens access to quieter anchorages that deeper-keeled vessels simply cannot reach, adding real variety to the bays and coves of the Bodrum peninsula.

The yacht is available exclusively as a whole-boat charter for up to eight guests. Every cabin, every deck space and all shared areas belong entirely to your group for the full duration of your booking. There is no shared-guest arrangement of any kind. Families, close-knit friend groups and guests who place a premium on complete privacy at sea will find Il Fratello straightforwardly suited to their needs. The professional crew handles all navigation, anchoring and on-deck operations, while catering can be arranged around your group's preferences and any dietary requirements.

For the charter itself, you can choose a day-cruise format, dropping anchor among the Bodrum bays for long swims and relaxed meals on deck, or you can plan a multi-day blue cruise extending along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastline. The pace, the stops and the overall shape of the trip are determined entirely by your group. No pre-set itinerary applies.

For those considering Bodrum gulet charter options on the basis of craftsmanship, authentic character and complete exclusivity, Il Fratello is a carefully maintained and genuinely individual yacht worth serious consideration. Contact us for current availability and a tailored quote.
