Paluko

Paluko is a 12.61-metre catamaran built in 2011, berthed at Bodrum Marina and available exclusively as a whole-boat hire. Four private cabins sleep eight guests, and every shared space on board, the cockpit, the saloon, the bridge deck, and the full open deck, belongs to your group alone for the entire charter period.

The twin-hull platform delivers a breadth and stability that a monohull of the same length simply cannot replicate. In everyday sailing terms this translates into generous deck space for sunbathing at anchor without anyone being squeezed out, a large enough dining area to seat the whole group together in the evening, and easy movement around the boat throughout the day. The stern sits close to the waterline, so swimmers of every age can enter and exit the sea with no difficulty at all. Paluko's shallow draft opens up anchorages beyond the reach of deeper-keeled vessels, including quieter bays around the Bodrum Peninsula that most charter boats pass by entirely.

For a Bodrum catamaran charter, Paluko suits a wide range of group types, from families with young children to groups of friends or colleagues. You can plan a short cruise among the sheltered coves of the Bodrum Peninsula, or you can extend the voyage into a full blue cruise along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast, choosing your stops freely as the trip unfolds. Families in particular tend to appreciate the catamaran's inherent stability and the low stern entry, both of which matter considerably when younger swimmers are involved. The cabins sit apart from the activity on deck, so a proper night's rest remains entirely feasible after a full day at sea.

The cockpit and saloon naturally become the group's social centre: where meals are served, where the next day's route takes shape over a chart and a drink, and where the pace of the whole trip settles into a rhythm. Consistently maintained since 2011, Paluko is a well-proportioned and reliable choice for a Bodrum yacht charter, whether the plan is a compact peninsula loop or a longer coastal passage.
