Few silhouettes on the Bodrum waterfront turn heads quite like this deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum guests have quietly made one of the most requested twin-masted yachts on the Aegean coast. Launched in 2010 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, SM3610 pairs a classic ketch-rigged profile with a genuinely spacious 36-metre hull, five en-suite cabins for up to eleven guests, and a five-strong professional crew. She sails from Bodrum Marina, placing the Datça-Bozburun peninsula, the Gulf of Gökova, and the Greek Dodecanese all within easy weekly reach.
This deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum listing suits both first-time gulet charterers and seasoned yacht guests who want the volume and stability of a motor sailer without sacrificing the romance of sail. Twin masts, a pale hull, and long expanses of teak deck give SM3610 unmistakable presence at anchor, while her interior trades the usual dark gulet joinery for a warmer, more contemporary finish throughout the saloon and cabins.
SM3610 was custom built in Bodrum in 2010 as a traditional twin-masted motor sailer, sometimes called a staysail schooner, and returned to the yard for a full refit in 2025. Her Caterpillar engine gives a comfortable cruising speed for island-hopping while her mainsail, staysail and genoa can be raised to steady the yacht or simply add to the theatre of arriving under sail. At 36 metres length overall with a generous 7.8-metre beam, she carries her volume gracefully, and a shallow-enough draught keeps the popular anchorages of the Bodrum peninsula and the Gulf of Gökova comfortably within reach.
Life aboard this deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum experience is lived largely outdoors. The aft deck carries a full-width dining table beneath a fixed bimini, comfortably seating the entire guest list for long lunches in the shade, while a second, more intimate table sits forward of the deckhouse for sundowners under the rig. Forward of the mast, wide teak sunpads and a compass-rose deck inlay create a dedicated relaxation zone away from the crew and tender traffic, and cushioned bow seating makes the most of the breeze on passage.
Step below and this deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum guests describe as unusually bright reveals a saloon finished in warm, glossy hardwood with cream upholstery rather than the heavier, darker joinery typical of older-generation gulets. A U-shaped dining booth seats the full party for formal meals in air-conditioned comfort, while a separate lounge area with deep sofas and a games table gives guests a second gathering point for films or cards after dark. Large windows run the length of the deckhouse, keeping the saloon naturally lit through the day and framing the anchorage at sunset.
Five en-suite cabins sleep up to eleven guests aboard this deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum itinerary: a front master and an aft master, a triple, and two further doubles, each with its own bathroom and full air conditioning. Joinery throughout the cabins matches the saloon’s warmer palette, with polished wood panelling, reading lights, and generous stowage for longer charters. The twin-bed cabins convert to a double on request, giving families and groups of friends flexibility when finalising the guest list.
Every cabin aboard this deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum pairs with its own en-suite bathroom, finished in the same warm wood and stone as the rest of the interior, with a separate shower stall, marine WC, and full-size vanity. Round mirrors, brass fittings, and fresh towelling on demand keep the five bathrooms feeling more like a boutique hotel than a typical charter yacht.
Most itineraries begin with a slow first afternoon around the Bodrum peninsula while everyone settles in, followed by two or three days working west toward Gökova’s pine-lined bays, where the water turns a deep, still green and swimming stops can run for hours. Mid-week often brings a call at a small harbour town for dinner ashore and a wander through the market, before the itinerary loops back east with a night or two spent at anchor under sail rather than at the dock. The captain adjusts the plan daily around wind, guest preference and how busy each anchorage is running that week, so no two charters aboard SM3610 look quite the same.
Sailing from Bodrum, this deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum itinerary typically opens with the sheltered coves of the Bodrum peninsula before crossing to the Gulf of Gökova, where pine-backed anchorages and calm water suit both swimming and the yacht’s twin-masted sailing rig. Longer charters continue toward the Datça-Bozburun peninsula or cross into the Greek Dodecanese, and guests weighing a wider stay on the Turkish Riviera can compare notes with our Bodrum superyacht charter and Bodrum mega yacht charter listings for the same base.
Guests aboard this deluxe motor sailer charter Bodrum holiday have a dinghy tender, snorkelling equipment, and a swimming platform included as standard, alongside Wi-Fi, a generator for full air conditioning at anchor, and a dishwasher in the galley. The wider Aegean sailing season on the Aegean Sea runs from May through October, and the crew can arrange additional water sports such as paddleboards or a seabob on request for an extra fee.
A captain, cook, two sailors and a stewardess run the yacht day to day, handling passage planning, watersports safety, housekeeping and the full onboard dining programme. Breakfast is typically laid as a generous Turkish spread on the aft table, with the cook happy to build lunch and dinner menus around any dietary request submitted before departure. Because the crew live aboard separately from the guest cabins, service stays attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and the captain will happily talk guests through the sail plan on quieter passage days for anyone curious about the rig.
The five-cabin layout works equally well for two families travelling together, a milestone celebration, or a corporate group wanting a private base to return to each evening. Guests who have chartered a conventional gulet before tend to notice the difference immediately: the saloon feels brighter, the cabins run slightly larger for the yacht’s length, and the twin-masted rig gives the option of genuine sailing time rather than motoring the entire itinerary. First-time charter guests, meanwhile, find the five-strong crew and structured daily routine make the whole week easy to relax into.
Music, canoeing, snorkelling off the swim platform and long lunches at anchor fill most days, while the captain will suggest a mix of busier harbour towns and quiet, uninhabited coves depending on how sociable the group wants the week to be. Wi-Fi throughout means guests can stay loosely connected without the trip ever feeling tethered to a screen.
