A private gulet charter Bodrum booking aboard this 37-metre ketch, listed by Aquinox Yachting as CA3713, gives twelve guests six en-suite cabins, a crew of seven and a flybridge with its own bar. Delivered by Bodrum Shipyard in 2013, she sits at the deluxe end of the Turkish fleet without tipping into superyacht pricing.
Her real distinction is the deck plan. Most 37-metre gulets give you an aft deck and a foredeck and leave it there. She adds a full flybridge — sunbeds, a bar, shade — which means three separate outdoor rooms for twelve people, and nobody has to negotiate over where to sit.
At 37 metres on an eight-metre beam she is a substantial displacement hull that lies quietly at anchor. Twin John Deere diesels drive her at a comfortable cruising speed, with 6,000 litres of fuel and 8,000 litres of water aboard — enough that a week aboard never needs to break for a marina unless the group wants one.
The interior is finished in warm cherry and mahogany with lacquered panels, indirect lighting and framed marine prints — the traditional Bodrum idiom executed to a high standard rather than a budget one. Two generators, 24-hour air conditioning, satellite television and Wi-Fi in Turkish waters run throughout.
Six en-suite cabins sleep twelve: a master, a VIP and four further doubles, two of which take an additional single berth. Each has its own bathroom with a shower enclosure, a minibar, a television and independently controlled air conditioning. The master and VIP are full-width with separate seating.
The two cabins with the extra single berth are what make her work for families. A private gulet charter Bodrum week with children usually needs a room that sleeps three without anyone camping in a saloon, and she has two of them. Crew of seven berth forward with their own access.
Bathrooms are compact but properly finished — stone counters, glass shower enclosures, good ventilation. Six of them for six cabins, which at this length is not universal: a number of competing boats still share.
The saloon runs the full beam with windows on three sides, a long banquette in cream, a dining table for twelve and the entertainment system. It is the room that gets used at midday in August, and it is genuinely light rather than the dim panelled box that gulets of this generation often have.
The aft deck holds the principal dining table under a fixed awning. The foredeck carries a second table and a bank of sunpads forward of the mainmast. And above both sits the flybridge, with its bar, its sunbeds and the best view on the boat.
Dinner on the foredeck at sunset — table laid the length of the deck, the anchorage going quiet, the lights coming on ashore — is the image a private gulet charter Bodrum client tends to remember. The crew set it up without being asked by about the third evening.
She carries a full water-toy inventory — water skis, stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling gear, fishing tackle, sun mats, a swim ladder and a service tender — and, more unusually, an inflatable sea pool and a floating shaded cabana that deploy off the transom.
The floating platform is the thing guests photograph. It gives the group a shaded place to sit that is genuinely in the water rather than above it, and with children aboard it becomes the centre of the day. Diving is arranged with a Bodrum operator at the anchorage.
Bodrum is her home port and the obvious base. The Gulf of Gökova runs east — Çökertme, English Harbour, Löngöz, Seven Islands, Karacasöğüt — with an anchorage every few miles and none of them a long passage. The Datça peninsula runs west, ending at Knidos above its ancient harbour.
Kos lies forty minutes across the strait, with Kalymnos, Leros and Patmos beyond it. With Greek transit paperwork arranged in advance the crew handle clearance in both directions, and Aquinox Yachting will build a mixed Turkish and Dodecanese week if that is what the group wants.
The galley works to a menu agreed before boarding rather than a fixed rotation. Breakfast is served on the aft deck, lunch at anchor after the morning swim, and dinner alternates between the boat and the shore. Provisioning comes from the Bodrum market and the villages the boat passes.
The crew will book the boat-in-only kitchens of the Gulf of Gökova — the fish tavernas at Çökertme, the mooring restaurants at Değirmen Bükü and Karacasöğüt, the single taverna at Seven Islands. Reaching those tables is a large part of why a private gulet charter Bodrum week is worth doing at all.

Sources disagree on three points, recorded here in full: her build year is published as 2013 by the TYBA registry and the central agency and as 2014 by two retail brokers, one of which adds a 2020 refit; her engines are given as 2 × 375 hp by the central agency and 2 × 500 hp elsewhere; and her crew is published as seven and as six. The specification above follows the TYBA registry and the central agency.
Rates run from €35,000 to €63,000 per week depending on season — roughly €5,000 per day in May and October rising to €9,000 in August — plus expenses. The rate covers the yacht, the crew of seven, insurance and standard equipment. Fuel, provisioning, harbour dues and gratuities are additional.
She is normally taken by the week. August commits first, usually a season ahead, and July follows; May, June, September and October can take shorter periods. Aquinox Yachting works directly with the central agency, Galeo Yachting, on availability and contract.
Seven crew look after twelve guests — captain, chef, engineer, two deckhands and two stewardesses. Her master, Captain Yusuf Kalmaz, has run the Gökova and Datça coasts for years. The service is quiet and unhurried, which is the standard Aquinox Yachting applies before a vessel joins the fleet.
Availability, sample itineraries and the full inventory are on request. Aquinox Yachting can also propose alternatives at similar length and season — see our 37m motor sailer at Bodrum, our 39.6m crewed gulet at Bodrum, or browse the full Aquinox charter fleet.

Twelve guests in six en-suite cabins: a master, a VIP and four doubles, two of which take an additional single berth. Those two make her workable for families needing a room that sleeps three.
Yes, and it is the reason to choose her over most 37-metre gulets. The flybridge carries sunbeds, shade and its own bar, which gives twelve guests three separate outdoor areas rather than the usual two.
Water skis, stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling gear, fishing tackle, sun mats, a swim ladder and a service tender, plus an inflatable sea pool and a floating shaded cabana that deploy off the transom. Diving is arranged with a Bodrum operator at the anchorage.
The Gulf of Gökova east of Bodrum — Çökertme, English Harbour, Löngöz, Seven Islands, Karacasöğüt — and the Datça peninsula west of it, ending at Knidos. Kos, Kalymnos, Leros and Patmos are reachable with Greek transit paperwork arranged in advance.
