24m Intimate Gulet Charter Bodrum | 2006 | OP2404

Four cabins for eight guests on a 24-metre hull, and four crew to run it: an intimate gulet charter Bodrum guests remember is the one with room left over. She lies in Bodrum City Harbour, panelled throughout in polished mahogany, with arched doors along the companionway.

Built in 2006 and refitted in 2017, she was finished as a private yacht rather than a day boat. For a family or four couples, an intimate gulet charter Bodrum at this ratio buys space that a twelve-guest vessel cannot.

Twenty-four metres, built in 2006 and refitted in 2017

She measures 24 metres overall with a 6.5-metre beam and draws 2.5 metres, shallow enough for the inlets that deeper hulls must admire from outside. A 450 hp diesel, 2,200 litres of fuel and 4,000 litres of fresh water cover the passages, while radar, a saloon GPS plotter and a generator handle the rest. The classic mainsail is set on the afternoon breeze.

A crewed intimate gulet charter Bodrum

Four crew run the yacht for eight guests, and a chef and a hostess are among them, with bed linen, WiFi and the transit log included. That service is what separates an intimate gulet charter Bodrum from a bareboat week: breakfast appears on the aft deck without being ordered, the tender is launched when you look at the beach, and the table is cleared while you are still in the water.

The standard route runs west into the Gulf of Gökova toward Çökertme, Seven Islands and English Harbour, or north past Torba and Güllük. An intimate gulet charter Bodrum is measured in anchorages rather than in miles, and few legs run longer than three hours under engine.

Dinner is where Mediterranean gastronomy earns the itinerary. The crew keep a short list of boat-in-only kitchens, the jetty tavernas at Çökertme and English Harbour among them, where the only approach is from the water and the menu is whatever the day brought in. On the nights between, the chef serves aboard.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is panelled in mahogany and air-conditioned, with seating running the full length of the cabin, a long dining table and a flat-screen television. Portlights and windows line both sides, and the stair forward opens onto the deck. This is the interior an intimate gulet charter Bodrum is judged by.

The galley is fitted for a working chef rather than for show: cooker and oven, fridge, freezer, ice maker and a coffee machine, with a barbecue rigged on deck. The generator carries the air conditioning, the heating and the domestic circuits at anchor without a shore line.

Four cabins

Four double cabins sleep eight, each with its own head, shower, air conditioning and hanging storage. Two run the full beam with settees to either side, and all four are finished in the same polished mahogany with brass portlights. An intimate gulet charter Bodrum with four en-suite cabins and no bunk berths is a deliberate trade against guest numbers.

On deck and in the water

Sun mattresses run the length of the coachroof, the foredeck carries a second table with sunbeds either side, and the aft deck seats all eight inside a horseshoe of cushions. A dinghy with its engine included, a kayak, water skis and snorkelling sets are carried aboard, and the outside shower and swim ladder make the water the default room of an intimate gulet charter Bodrum.

Charter this gulet in Bodrum

Rates open at €9,800 per week for the whole yacht with four crew and the transit log included, which places this intimate gulet charter Bodrum in the middle of the crewed market rather than at the top of it. Larger parties should compare the 24-metre contemporary gulet or the 30-metre mahogany gulet in the same port, while the wider fleet is listed under charter yachts. Background on the type is at Wikipedia.

An intimate gulet charter Bodrum books quickly for July and August, and the shoulder weeks in late May, June and September are the ones worth asking about first. Contact Aquinox Yachting for availability, provisioning preferences and a routing proposal built around your dates.
