A Princess 56 charter Bodrum brings a proper British flybridge yacht to the Aegean. This one is a 17-metre Princess 56, two cabins for four, a grey hull under a white superstructure, and a flybridge that opens the whole gulf to view. Twin 570 hp diesels, teak decks, and the run of the Bodrum peninsula. Built in 1996 and refitted in 2016.<\/p>\n

She runs crewed under charter, skipper and chef aboard, so the guest list does nothing but come along. Two double cabins below, two heads, a burl-wood saloon on the main deck, and a flybridge with its own helm and bar above. A Princess 56 charter Bodrum is built around exactly this: shade, deck space, and a boat with real sea manners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seventeen metres, a Princess 56 flybridge<\/h2>\n

The numbers hold up. Length 17 m. Beam 4.7 m. Draught 1.2 m — shallow enough to tuck into the sand. Twin 570 hp diesels, 850 kW in total, carry her at a planing cruise and hold her steady at anchor. Fuel 1,000 litres, water 750 litres. A generator, autopilot, radar, GPS plotter and bow thruster round out the fit, and teak runs the decks on both levels. Air conditioning throughout, and a galley with a freezer, an ice maker and a coffee machine.<\/p>\n

A crewed Princess 56 charter from Bodrum<\/h2>\n

Charters begin at Bodrum, at the City Harbour under the castle at the heart of the town. From the dock the cruising ground opens straight up: the islands of the Gulf of G\u00f6kova, the coves of the Dat\u00e7a peninsula, and the crossing to the Greek Dodecanese within reach. On a Princess 56 charter Bodrum the crew plans each day to the weather — a morning run to a quiet cove, lunch at anchor over clear water, the tender ashore to a village the road reaches slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n

Aquinox arranges boat-in dining along the coast, the waterline tavernas where the kitchen sits at sea level and the table waits for the yacht to come alongside. A Princess 56 charter Bodrum turns the gulf into a week of them.<\/p>\n

Flybridge and decks<\/h2>\n

The flybridge is the point of a boat like this. A second helm, a wet bar and wraparound seating sit under the bimini with a clear view over the anchorage. The aft deck carries a teak dining table in the shade, the swim platform a step down. Forward, a full-beam sunpad takes the bow. A Princess 56 charter Bodrum lives on deck as much as below.<\/p>\n\n\n

Saloon and cabins<\/h2>\n

The saloon runs the main deck: burl-wood joinery, cream leather settees and windows down both sides that hold the coast. Two double cabins sleep four, each with its own berth and stowage, and two heads with showers serve the guests. Air conditioning throughout, and a galley equipped for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n

Water toys and swim platform<\/h2>\n

The bathing platform aft is the yacht’s door to the sea. A dinghy handles transfers and coast runs, and a boarding ladder and snorkelling kit come aboard as standard. The shallow 1.2 m draught noses her close to the sand where the day boats cannot follow. A Princess 56 charter Bodrum ends each day in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
