30m Gulet Charter Bodrum | 2009 | HA3006

A gulet charter Bodrum begins in the old city harbour, under the castle, with the Gulf of Gokova opening to the east and the Greek islands of the Dodecanese a short run to the west. This 30-metre gulet takes twelve guests in six cabins, with a full crew and a chef included.

Built in 2009 and laid in teak from stem to stern, she carries the two masts and long counter stern of the classic Bodrum build, with the main engine doing the work between bays. For a gulet charter Bodrum that treats the whole gulf as a week’s cruising ground, thirty metres is the right size.

Thirty metres, built in 2009

She measures 30 metres on deck, 98 feet, with a beam of 6.6 metres and a draught of 2.6 metres. Tankage holds 2,000 litres of fuel and an unusually generous 8,000 litres of fresh water, so long stretches at anchor do not end in a run back to a marina tap. A generator, heating and air conditioning cover the shoulder season as well as high summer.

A permanent crew runs her, with a chef included in the rate along with bed linen, towels and the dinghy. On a gulet charter Bodrum the galley decides the week, and hers is fitted with a cooker, fridge, coffee machine and a full set of kitchen equipment for twelve at one sitting.

A week on a gulet charter Bodrum usually runs east into the Gulf of Gokova for Cleopatra Island, Longoz and the pine-walled inlets around Sedir, then south past Orak and Karaada, or north-west to Kucuk Tavsan Adasi and the bays below Turgutreis. Longer routes reach Datca and the Hisaronu gulf.

The kitchens worth the detour on this coast cannot be reached by road. Boat-in only tables in Cokertme, Kargili and the bays below Akbuk serve what came aboard that morning, grilled over wood, and the crew books a buoy ahead so dinner is a step from the passerelle.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is panelled in painted timber with a long banquette, panoramic windows on three sides and air conditioning throughout. A gulet charter Bodrum is judged partly on the hours between swims, and this room, bright and square rather than cramped, handles them properly.

The galley sits forward of the saloon behind a serving counter, so the crew works within conversation of the guests without the cooking coming into the lounge. A generator holds power steady overnight at anchor, without the noise of a running main engine.

Six cabins

Six cabins sleep twelve, doubles and twins, each with its own electric heads and shower. Timber soles, upholstered headboards, hull windows at berth height and a flat-screen television are standard, and every cabin on this gulet charter Bodrum has individual air conditioning.

On deck and in the water

Forward, sun mattresses run the width of the deck beneath a fixed awning; amidships a second lounge sits under the bimini; aft, the dining table seats twelve. A gulet charter Bodrum here includes a dinghy, a kayak, a stand up paddleboard, water skis, snorkelling sets, a fishing set and a freshwater deck shower for coming back aboard.

Compare her against the 22-metre motor gulet in Fethiye and the 22-metre motor yacht on the Costa Brava, or browse the wider Aquinox fleet. The town she works from, Bodrum, was the ancient Halicarnassus and still builds these hulls in its own yards, which is why a gulet charter Bodrum starts at the source.

Availability for a gulet charter Bodrum between June and September closes early. Aquinox Yachting arranges provisioning, transfers and shoreside reservations in advance, working with UCT Agency for maritime operations in Turkey, so the week begins the moment you step aboard.
