About the Yacht

Lotus is a 26-metre wooden gulet launched in 1996, berthed at Bodrum Marina and chartered exclusively as a whole boat. Her five cabins sleep up to ten guests, and from the moment she leaves port, every shared space on board, the aft deck, the salon, the dining area and all common areas, belongs solely to one group for the duration of the trip. For anyone planning a Bodrum yacht charter where privacy is a genuine priority, that distinction matters.

A timber hull with close to three decades of sea time develops a quality that newer builds rarely replicate: an interior warmth that feels earned rather than manufactured, shaped gradually by use rather than designed in at the outset. That character is apparent throughout Lotus. The aft deck is one of her most practical and social spaces, broad enough to seat the full group comfortably for lunch, equally well-suited to unhurried dinners after the sun goes down, and a natural place to sit as a stretch of Aegean coastline drifts by at a pace chosen entirely by you. Five cabins distributed sensibly along the hull mean ten guests have genuine room to move, and to find a quiet corner when they want one.

Bodrum Marina is one of the Aegean's most established departure points for gulet charter, and Lotus is well placed to make the most of it. For a shorter break, you can plan a relaxed cruise around the sheltered bays and coves within easy reach of the marina, setting your own pace and choosing anchorages as you go. If a full week or more is on the table, a blue cruise along the Aegean or Mediterranean coast is a very real option: quiet harbour towns, morning swims in clear water, overnight anchorages picked around nothing but what your group wants. There is no fixed itinerary attached to Lotus; the route is yours to build.

Among Bodrum gulet charter options, Lotus suits families who want to run their own schedule, close-knit groups of friends, and anyone for whom anchoring somewhere secluded without sharing it with strangers is a core requirement. Her 1996 timber construction gives her a personality that is increasingly rare as the charter market fills with modern production builds.
