About the Yacht

ISTANBUL is a 14.27-metre sailing yacht launched in 2021, based at the Yacht Classic Hotel marina in Bodrum. Four private cabins accommodate up to eight guests, and the yacht is available exclusively as a whole-vessel hire. For the full duration of a charter, the cockpit, deck, saloon and every shared space on board belong entirely to one group. That complete exclusivity makes ISTANBUL a practical and straightforward choice for families, tight-knit friend groups and corporate teams who want a private environment from the moment they step aboard.

The 2021 build year matters more than it might first appear in the Bodrum yacht charter market. Interior fittings, on-deck hardware and mechanical systems are all current generation, with only a handful of seasons behind them. On a multi-night blue cruise, you feel that difference clearly, especially when a sheltered cove is your anchorage for the evening and you want full confidence in every system on board. A newer sailing yacht means fewer compromises, and that reliability becomes most valuable precisely when you are far from a marina.

What separates a sailing charter from a motorised cruise becomes apparent the moment the sails fill and the engine stops. ISTANBUL is rigged and designed for genuine passage-making under sail, not a masted motor vessel that happens to carry canvas. Guests who want open-water sailing as the central experience of their time afloat will find this yacht built for exactly that purpose.

From the Yacht Classic Hotel marina, you can plan day sails through Bodrum's sheltered bays and coves, or extend into a longer itinerary reaching across the Gulf of Gökova or along the Hisarönü peninsula. A mix of calm swimming anchorages and stretches of open sailing is entirely achievable, paced to whatever rhythm suits your group. For those who have been weighing a gulet charter but prefer the real sailing experience that canvas and keel can provide, ISTANBUL deserves serious consideration.
