Marlin 1

Marlin 1 is a 14.27-metre sailing yacht built in 2023 and berthed at the Yacht Classic Hotel marina in Bodrum. In a charter market where many boats carry the visible wear of multiple seasons, a 2023 launch date carries real, tangible weight. The upholstery remains in original condition, deck hardware operates with the precision of brand-new fittings, and the saloon reflects current build standards rather than the accumulated compromises of successive refits. Guests notice this from the first moment on deck, and it holds consistently throughout the charter.

Marlin 1 accommodates up to eight guests across four private cabins and is available exclusively as a whole-boat hire for one private group. For the full duration of the charter, the cabins, salon and deck belong to that group alone. There is no shared schedule, no coordinated departure time and no itinerary imposed from outside. Kalkış saatleri, anchorage choices and the pace of each day are determined entirely by the people on board. For a Bodrum yacht charter built around genuine privacy and unrestricted flexibility, this arrangement offers a clear practical advantage.

Sailing rather than motoring produces a distinctly different quality of passage. The movement is quiet and unhurried, and the boat stays directly connected to the wind and water around her. When Marlin 1 drops anchor in a sheltered bay and the sails come down, the stillness that follows is one of the defining rewards of a sailing charter. From the Yacht Classic Hotel marina, you can plan day sails to the protected coves near Gümüşlük or to the quieter inlets along the Bodrum Peninsula. Groups with additional days can extend their blue cruise into the bays of the Hisarönü Gulf or along the Datça Peninsula coastline, shaping each leg of the route around prevailing winds and their own pace.

As a genuinely recent-build sailing yacht charter option for those who prefer sail over engine, Marlin 1 combines technical freshness with complete exclusivity at one of the Aegean's most active sailing bases. Contact us for available dates and a tailored quote for your group.
