24m Contemporary Gulet Charter Bodrum | 2015 | ZE2405

Pale oak, concealed lighting and a granite bar where most gulets put a sideboard: a contemporary gulet charter Bodrum guests remember is the one that does not look like every other gulet. She lies at Bodrum Milta Marina and takes twelve guests in five cabins, each with its own electric head.

Built in 2015, she carries the hull of a traditional Bodrum ketch and the interior of a modern motor yacht. For a family or a group of friends, a contemporary gulet charter Bodrum at this size keeps the whole vessel to a single party.

Twenty-four metres, built in 2015

She measures 24 metres overall with a 7-metre beam and draws 3.8 metres. Twin 280 hp diesels, a bow thruster and 3,500 litres of fuel cover the legs into the Gulf of Gökova or south toward Datça, while a saloon GPS plotter, generator, inverter and autopilot handle the rest. The classic mainsail and headsail are set whenever the afternoon breeze fills in.

Three crew run the yacht and the cook is one of them, with fuel, the transit log and WiFi included in the rate. That is what separates a contemporary gulet charter Bodrum from a bareboat week: breakfast appears on the aft deck without being ordered, the tender is launched when you look at the beach, and the table is cleared while you are still in the water.

The standard route runs west into the Gulf of Gökova toward Çökertme, Seven Islands and English Harbour, or south past Datça toward the Hisarönü Gulf. A contemporary gulet charter Bodrum is measured in anchorages rather than in miles, and few legs run longer than three hours.

Dinner is where Mediterranean gastronomy earns the itinerary. The crew keep a short list of boat-in-only kitchens, the jetty tavernas at Çökertme and English Harbour among them, where the only approach is from the water and the menu is whatever the day brought in. On the nights between, the cook serves aboard.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is finished in pale oak with a dark timber sole, LED strips under every edge and a granite-topped bar at the foot of the companionway. A long settee faces a flat-screen television, and the aft deck carries the main dining table under a full-width bimini. This is the interior a contemporary gulet charter Bodrum is judged by.

The galley is fitted for a working cook rather than for show: cooker and oven, fridge, freezer, ice maker and a coffee machine. The generator and inverter carry the air conditioning, the heating and the domestic circuits at anchor without a shore line.

Five cabins

Three double cabins and two triples sleep twelve, each with its own electric head, separate shower, air conditioning and hanging storage. The master carries an upholstered headboard and a dressing table with its own flat screen, and every room is lit the same way, in warm strips rather than overhead glare. A contemporary gulet charter Bodrum with five en-suite cabins suits a family as easily as six couples.

On deck and in the water

Sun pads run forward of the foremast, the foredeck carries a lounge with inlaid star tables at either side, and the aft deck seats all twelve. A dinghy with its engine included, a kayak, water skis and snorkelling sets are carried aboard, and the outside shower and swim ladder make the water the default room of a contemporary gulet charter Bodrum.
