Sylvia R

Built in 1993, Sylvia R is a 22-metre wooden gulet berthed at Club Marina in Bodrum, carrying more than three decades of charter history in her timber structure and joinery. That long service life shows in the details rather than in wear: the interior woodwork has the layered warmth that only years of careful, seasonal upkeep can produce, felt in quiet moments such as a shaded morning in the salon or a still afternoon at anchor in a secluded bay.

Six cabins sleep up to 12 guests, and Sylvia R is chartered exclusively as a whole boat. That means one group takes over the entire deck, salon and daily schedule from the moment they step aboard, with a professional crew handling navigation and all onboard operations. For a Bodrum yacht charter where privacy matters as much as flexibility, that arrangement makes a genuine difference to how the days unfold.

Based at Club Marina, Sylvia R has quick access to sheltered bays and quieter coves right from the first morning out. Guests can swim off the stern, snorkel along rocky shorelines, or land at small coastal villages that see relatively few visitors. Groups with more time available can plan a blue cruise into the Gulf of Gökova, or extend the gulet charter further along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast for a week or more. Whether the plan is a short two-day run or a longer passage, the itinerary is built around what the guests on board actually want to do.

Days aboard a classic wooden gulet like this tend to follow an easy rhythm: an early swim before the bay fills up, coffee on deck as the crew prepares to raise anchor, and dinner outdoors as the light fades over the water. With over thirty years behind her, Sylvia R suits groups looking for a charter that combines genuine character with real onboard comfort. Contact us for availability and a tailored quote.
