43m Motor Yacht Charter Bodrum | 2009 · Refit 2019 | AD4306

The Ürkmezler 43 charter Bodrum is a 43-metre motor yacht for twelve guests, built in 2009 and refitted in 2019. She is a full-volume tri-deck: six cabins, a foredeck pool, and a sun deck that runs the length of the boat. Fuel is included in the rate — unusual at this size, and worth knowing before you compare.

The Ürkmezler 43 charter Bodrum profile

She measures 43 metres on deck with a beam of 8.41 metres and a draught of 2.26 metres. Twin engines, each rated at 1,970 horsepower, move a large hull at a comfortable passage speed. Fuel capacity is 17,000 litres, with 5,300 litres of fresh water aboard. The beam is wide even for the length, which is what gives her the deck space and the standing volume below. She is built for extended cruising with a full party aboard.

Decks, the pool and outdoor living

The foredeck carries a full plunge pool set in a mahogany surround, with loungers forward of it and clear water on three sides. Above, the sun deck is shaded by a sail awning and laid with sofas and low tables. Aft on the main deck, a long table seats the full complement for dinner in the open air, with a settee wrapping the transom. A bathing platform brings guests to the sea. There is room here for twelve people to spread out and not meet.

Interior and accommodation

Inside, the main salon is warm and traditional: burl wood, cream sofas, wide windows on three sides. A formal dining room seats the group under a separate deckhead. Six double cabins sleep twelve, and the saloon carries a further eight day berths. The master suite runs full-beam, with a fireplace, a lounge and sea views to either side. The joinery is deep timber throughout, offset by pale stone in the bathrooms.

Galley, systems and water toys

The galley is a full commercial kitchen, finished in green stone and mahogany, with an ice maker, an espresso machine, an oven and a washing machine. Navigation runs from an enclosed wheelhouse with radar, GPS chartplotters and autopilot. The water toys are extensive: a jet ski, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, water skis and a wakeboard, with a jacuzzi and a BBQ aboard. WiFi is included.

Crew and service

The yacht runs skippered, with a chef aboard and a full crew for a vessel of this size. Service is discreet and complete. The chef provisions to a menu agreed before boarding, drawing on the coast’s markets and the day’s catch. Meals are taken where the guests choose — around the pool at anchor, on the sun deck at dusk, or ashore at a jetty the tender reaches.

Bodrum as a base

Bodrum Milta Marina is the home berth. Bodrum sits on Turkey’s south-western peninsula, a working yacht town beneath its Crusader castle, with fuel, provisioning and crew all close to the quay. Milas–Bodrum airport is forty minutes away. For an Ürkmezler 43 charter Bodrum is both a practical departure point and a destination — close to the Gulf of Gökova to the south and the Greek Dodecanese to the west.

An Ürkmezler 43 charter Bodrum itinerary

From the marina the Gulf of Gökova opens south: Orak Island for clear water, Cleopatra’s beach at Sedir, and the long line of quiet anchorages below the pine hills. Longer charters reach the Datça peninsula and the bays under ancient Knidos. Much of the best eating is boat-in only — shoreside kitchens and fishermen’s jetties a tender reaches and a road does not. The season holds from late spring through early autumn. Turkey’s national tourism board publishes seasonal guidance for the coast.
