Paluko

Paluko is a 12.61-metre catamaran built in 2011 and based at Bodrum Marina. The yacht has four private cabins and berths for eight guests in total. It is only available as an exclusive whole-boat charter: one group takes the full run of every cabin, deck and communal area from departure to return.

The practical advantage of a catamaran at this size is immediately obvious once you step aboard. A monohull of the same length cannot produce the same usable deck space or interior volume that a twin-hull layout delivers. Eight guests can spread across Paluko's wide deck without feeling crowded, and the dining area seats everyone at the same table with room to spare. On longer passages, the catamaran's geometry significantly reduces rolling compared with a monohull, which translates to a more settled, comfortable ride when sea conditions become choppy. That inherent stability is especially reassuring for families travelling with younger children. Paluko's shallow draft also opens up anchorages along the Bodrum Peninsula that deeper-keeled vessels cannot access, and the low stern platform makes getting in and out of the water straightforward for guests of every age.

A Bodrum catamaran charter on Paluko can be shaped entirely around your group's preferences. A relaxed circuit of the peninsula's sheltered bays and coves, moving at a gentle pace and anchoring each evening in calm water, is a natural choice for those who want to unwind without covering too many miles. For groups with more time and ambition, a multi-day blue cruise heading south along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast is equally achievable. Departure date, total duration and every stop along the way are decisions your group makes alone.

For groups that put a premium on wide open decks, a noticeably stable passage and complete privacy throughout every day on board, Paluko represents a well-considered Bodrum yacht charter option. Reach out to us for current availability and a tailored quote for your dates.
