Zorbas

Launched in 2016, Zorbas is a 20-metre wooden gulet based at Bodrum Marina and chartered exclusively as a whole vessel for one private group at a time. With two cabins and four berths, she suits two couples or a small circle of friends who want the deck, salon and all shared spaces reserved entirely for themselves throughout the trip, with no other passengers ever joining.

The 2016 build year matters in practical terms. Zorbas's interior layout and onboard systems were conceived as a single coherent design from the start, rather than assembled piecemeal over the years through later upgrades. That shows on longer days at sea, where fittings work as intended and every compartment reflects deliberate planning rather than retrofitting. Her 20-metre length also allows her to reach smaller, quieter coves along the Bodrum Peninsula that bigger gulets tend to bypass.

A Bodrum yacht charter aboard Zorbas can be built around the group's own rhythm rather than a fixed itinerary. Day cruises among the sheltered bays of the Bodrum coastline make an easy starting point, and Kara Ada, known for the thermal springs that surface through volcanic rock at the shoreline, is one of the more distinctive half-day options in the area. Groups with more time on their hands can plan a multi-day blue cruise toward the Hisarönü Gulf or the Datça Peninsula, both within comfortable overnight sailing range from Bodrum. Anchorages are chosen according to sea conditions and the group's preferences rather than a preset schedule.

For travelers looking for a private gulet charter out of Bodrum that runs entirely on their own terms, Zorbas offers a well thought out interior and a genuinely flexible pace at sea. Contact us for availability and a tailored quote for your dates.
