Sila Cabin 3 - Comfort

Sila is a 23-metre wooden gulet built in 1989 and berthed at Bodrum Marina. The hull is constructed on a continuous load-bearing timber frame, a method rooted in traditional Turkish boatbuilding craft rather than factory production. That distinction shows in the solid feel of the hull, the grain of the wood underfoot and the acoustic warmth of the enclosed spaces below deck. These are qualities that accumulate over decades of use and cannot be replicated in a newly built vessel, regardless of its finish or specification.

As a cabin charter gulet, Sila allows guests to book a single private cabin for two rather than taking the whole yacht. Your cabin is entirely your own, while the deck, salon and shared dining area are enjoyed together with the other guests on board. This is one of the most relaxed and accessible ways to join a blue cruise from Bodrum, and it regularly brings together travellers from different countries who share a taste for unhurried life at sea. The sociable atmosphere on a small traditional gulet like Sila tends to develop naturally, without any effort.

Sailing from Bodrum Marina, guests can plan their time around the pace that suits them best. A single day threading between the sheltered coves and anchorages of the Bodrum peninsula is entirely practical; for those with more time, a multi-day blue cruise along the Aegean coast can be arranged, with a different bay each evening and swimming from the stern in calm, clear water. The small size of this gulet means she can reach coves that larger vessels simply cannot enter.

In a Bodrum yacht charter market crowded with larger and newer production boats, a genuinely intimate wooden gulet with a history stretching back to 1989 occupies a rare position. For two guests who want the authentic character of traditional Turkish timber construction combined with the flexibility of cabin charter, Sila is worth serious consideration.
