Sailing Gulet Kavanca

Sailing Gulet Kavanca is a 24.2-metre wooden gulet built in 1997 and berthed at Bodrum Marina. Six double cabins sleep up to 12 guests, and the yacht is available exclusively as a whole-boat private charter. Every space on board, the decks, the saloon and all shared areas, belongs entirely to one group for the duration of the charter. This arrangement makes Kavanca particularly well suited to families, close groups of friends, and private celebrations where exclusivity matters as much as comfort.

Among the yacht's most practically important features is her shallow draft. A direct product of classical Turkish wooden boat construction, this characteristic allows the hull to ride significantly lighter in the water than many motor yachts of similar length. The result is access to narrow inlets, shallow anchorages and secluded coves that deeper-keeled vessels cannot enter. Along the Bodrum coastline, where the most rewarding stops are often the least accessible, this meaningfully expands the range of destinations a group can reach on a blue cruise.

Life on board falls into a natural rhythm across three distinct spaces. The aft deck becomes the default gathering point during long, unhurried hours at anchor. Under sail, the cockpit draws the group together for each passage. After dark, the main saloon provides a sheltered, comfortable alternative to the open deck. For twelve guests sharing a week at sea, this arrangement keeps daily life consistently enjoyable from one anchorage to the next.

Route planning on a Bodrum gulet charter with Kavanca is entirely flexible. Groups who prefer to remain close to base can spend their days among the sheltered bays and headlands of the Bodrum Peninsula, anchoring wherever they please for as long as they like. Those with more time can plan an extension toward the Datça Peninsula, incorporating smaller fishing harbours and quieter stops along the way. Any adjustments to the itinerary can be discussed with the skipper at any point during the trip.
