Bodrum Gulet · 19m (1986)

Bodrum Gulet · 19m (1986) is a 19-metre wooden gulet built in 1986 and berthed at Bodrum Marina. Turkish shipwrights of that period shaped their hulls largely by hand, and this vessel carries the results of that craft through nearly four decades of continuous use at sea. The warmth of the salon joinery and the material consistency across the three private cabins are qualities that standardised production lines cannot replicate. The gulet accommodates up to six guests and is available only as a whole-boat private charter.

Within the Bodrum yacht charter market, a vessel of this vintage that genuinely preserves hand-built wooden construction while offering complete private exclusivity has become increasingly rare. From the moment the lines are cast off at Bodrum Marina, every cabin, the aft deck and the saloon belong entirely to your group. There are no shared timetables, no rotating strangers, no compromises on how the day unfolds.

At 19 metres, the gulet is manoeuvrable enough to reach sheltered coves that larger charter yachts cannot access, yet seaworthy enough for extended coastal passages. Groups looking for a multi-day blue cruise along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastline can move at their own pace, choose anchorages freely and let the mood of the day set the agenda. Those with less time can plan a day cruise among the quieter inlets of the Bodrum Peninsula, well clear of the busier summer anchorages, and still spend a genuinely rewarding few hours on the water.

The Bodrum gulet charter market has a steady supply of newer production boats with composite hulls and uniform interiors. This gulet answers a different brief. The woodwork visible throughout is not a veneer over a modern structure; it is the actual substance from which the boat is built. Guests who seek slow travel, authentic craftsmanship and real character over the polished uniformity of a modern production vessel will find this gulet a fitting choice.
