Spark 1

Spark 1 is a Bavaria 40 Cruiser sailing yacht, 12.19 metres in length, built in 2010 and berthed at Bodrum Marina. With three private cabins and capacity for up to seven guests, it is chartered exclusively as a whole boat, meaning the entire vessel is reserved for one private group throughout the voyage.

Below deck, the layout is practical and well-considered. Two electric toilets and showers ensure privacy for the cabins, while a fully equipped galley includes a gas hob, an oven, a coffee machine and two refrigerators, one fitted with an ice-making compartment. Bed linen, blankets and towels are included in the charter fee. Power is supplied by a strong solar energy system paired with brand-new batteries, keeping electricity reliable at anchor far from any marina. A bow thruster and complete electronic navigation instruments make handling straightforward for both experienced sailors and those with moderate sea time. On deck, wide sun lounging areas and an aft swimming platform make every anchorage a natural invitation to swim.

From Bodrum Marina, charter guests can plan day sails among the sheltered bays along the peninsula, or set a course for multi-day blue cruise routes through the Gökova Gulf and beyond. The consistent summer meltemi, blowing at a steady three to five Beaufort for most of the sailing day, gives a Bavaria 40 the kind of purposeful heel that makes sailing genuinely satisfying. Wind typically eases after sunset, leaving calm, quiet anchorages for the evening hours.

Spark 1 is maintained on a continuous schedule to keep mechanical systems in reliable order. The teak deck remains in good condition, and the overall fit-out is well suited to groups looking for a comfortable Bodrum yacht charter without unnecessary expense. The boat is child-friendly and pet-friendly, with table games, basic snorkelling gear and fishing equipment available on board.
