Sailing Gulet Kavanca

Sailing Gulet Kavanca is a 24.2-metre wooden gulet built in 1997 and permanently berthed at Bodrum Marina. She carries up to twelve guests across six private cabins and is offered exclusively as a whole-boat charter. From the moment the lines are cast off to the moment she returns to the marina, every cabin, the main saloon, the cockpit and the aft deck belong solely to your group. For extended families, reunion gatherings and groups of close friends planning a Bodrum yacht charter on their own terms, this arrangement means the itinerary, the pace and the daily schedule answer entirely to you.

One of Kavanca's more practical advantages is her shallow draft. Wooden gulets of this era were built to work in the Aegean's complex coastline, and Kavanca draws considerably less than many motor yachts of comparable length. In practice, that opens up narrow inlets and shallow coves that deeper vessels cannot safely approach, giving any route a longer and more varied list of possible anchorages. On deck, the layout is well suited to group life: the aft deck naturally becomes the gathering point during long afternoon anchors, the cockpit brings everyone together when the sails fill, and the saloon settles into quieter conversations after dinner.

Groups departing from Bodrum Marina can plan a shorter programme focused on the sheltered bays and headlands of the Bodrum Peninsula, staying in each anchorage as long as they choose. Those with a full week or more can consider a blue cruise in the direction of the Datça Peninsula, calling at smaller fishing harbours along the way. The professional crew handles all navigation and on-board operations throughout, so lingering an extra afternoon at a favourite cove or adjusting course requires nothing more than a word to the skipper.

With her shallow draft, practical deck layout and six private cabins for twelve guests, Kavanca is a considered gulet charter choice out of Bodrum for groups who value genuine privacy and open-water sailing. Contact us with your preferred dates and group size for availability and a tailored quote.
