Kalypso

Kalypso is a 13.25-metre sailing yacht built in 2008 and based at Gümbet Marina on the western side of the Bodrum peninsula. Four private cabins accommodate up to eight guests, and the boat is chartered exclusively as a whole: every cabin, the saloon and the full deck belong to your group alone from departure to return.

The charter operates on a bareboat basis, meaning neither a skipper nor a crew member is included in the fee. For groups who hold a recognised sailing certificate and the required sea hours, this translates into genuine autonomy: you choose your heading each morning, select your anchorages without consulting anyone else's itinerary, and move at whatever pace suits the group. Kalypso is well suited to two or three couples sharing costs, a group of close friends, or a family that wants unrestricted time at sea on their own terms.

Gümbet Marina's position on the western edge of the peninsula gives Kalypso ready access to open Aegean water and the quieter coves along the Bodrum coastline. Reaching a sheltered bay before the day crowds arrive, dropping anchor, and spending a long afternoon in the water is a natural rhythm for a group of eight at this length. If time allows, you can plan a multi-day blue cruise along the Aegean coast: early departures ahead of the meltemi, calm afternoons at anchor, and evenings in less-visited coves away from the busier anchorages.

The four cabins give every guest a genuine private retreat, while the saloon and deck provide enough shared space for the whole group to relax together comfortably. That balance between personal space and communal ease makes Kalypso a practical, well-proportioned choice for a Bodrum yacht charter where every decision stays with your group.
