Bodrum Gulet · 26m (1997)

Moored at Bodrum Marina, this 26-metre wooden gulet was built in 1997 and has been in active service ever since, accumulating close to three decades of continuous coastal sailing. That kind of longevity speaks to consistent, careful maintenance and a hull genuinely designed for multi-day passages rather than the occasional afternoon outing. Six private cabins accommodate up to twelve guests, and the yacht operates exclusively as a whole-boat charter: one group, one vessel, complete privacy from start to finish.

The deck layout reflects practical thinking at every turn. At anchor, the aft deck becomes the natural gathering place, shaded enough to remain comfortable through the hottest afternoon hours and open to the breeze once the sun drops. The foredeck offers a quieter alternative, particularly appreciated early in the morning or when the gulet settles into a sheltered cove away from busier channels. Below deck, the enclosed salon seats all twelve guests around a single table and stays noticeably cooler during peak afternoon heat, a genuine advantage on longer passages when the sun is relentless above.

For a Bodrum yacht charter of three to four days, this gulet suits a circuit of the peninsula's bays and coves, with natural pauses for swimming, snorkelling and shoreside exploration woven into the pace. A full week opens broader options: you can plan a blue cruise through the Gulf of Gökova, trace a route around the Datça Peninsula, or chart a longer coastal passage connecting Aegean and Mediterranean waters. The rhythm of the trip, its stops and its pace, belongs entirely to your group.

A gulet charter on a vessel built in 1997 and maintained through nearly thirty years of active sailing carries a particular kind of confidence. The boat has genuine sea miles behind it and a track record to match. Reach out to check available dates and receive a personalised quote.
