50m Lürssen 144 Charter Bodrum | 2007 · Refit 2022 | AL5005

This Lürssen 144 charter Bodrum yacht is a 50-metre motor yacht built in 2007 and fully refitted in 2022 — one of the largest vessels in the fleet. She sleeps twelve guests across five cabins and runs with a crew of eight. Her home berth is Torba Marina, just north of Bodrum. This is a full displacement superyacht, and unusually for a boat this size, fuel is included in the charter rate.

The Lürssen 144 charter Bodrum experience

Torba is a quiet bay on the north side of the Bodrum peninsula, a short run from the town and from the islands of the Gulf of Gökova. A yacht this size sets its own pace. With more than fifty thousand litres of fuel and forty thousand of fresh water aboard, she can stay out for days at a time, so the week follows the light and the weather rather than the marina schedule.

Twin engines move her steadily between anchorages. The interior is grand and warm — burl walnut, cream and gold across two decks of salons and cabins, with marble columns and a formal dining saloon. A crew of eight, chef and hostess included, runs the yacht quietly around twelve guests, and the 2022 refit brought the whole vessel current.

Accommodation and interior

Five cabins sleep twelve — three doubles and two triples, so the yacht suits a large family or a group travelling with children. The full-beam master runs the width of the yacht, with a private lounge, a jacuzzi bath and its own dressing area. The remaining cabins are doubles and triples, each with an en-suite. The style is classic and opulent throughout.

The main deck holds a grand salon, a bar and a formal dining saloon that seats the whole party. A separate galley is sized for a crew cooking for twelve, and the chef provisions it to the guest’s brief. Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, and the yacht’s large tankage means genuine independence at anchor.

Deck space and water toys

A 50-metre yacht is built around its deck space. The aft deck seats every guest for dinner under shade, a step from the sea. The flybridge carries a second lounge and bar, and the foredeck holds a jacuzzi and sun pads that come alive under the deck lighting at dusk. At anchor the bathing platform opens the stern to the water.

The toy locker runs deep. A jacuzzi, a jet ski, water skis, a stand-up paddleboard, snorkelling gear and a fishing set all come aboard, along with a tender for shore runs. The bays around Bodrum are warm and clear, and a big crewed yacht turns the water into a private playground for the week.

Booking a Lürssen 144 charter Bodrum week

A week from Bodrum usually runs into the Gulf of Gökova — Cleopatra’s Beach at Sedir Island, the Seven Islands and the quiet inlets beyond — or south towards the bays off the peninsula. Much of the best food on this coast is boat-in only. The crew provisions the galley to the guest’s brief and arranges tables ashore. See our full charter fleet for other vessels on the same coast, and the official Go Türkiye guide for background on the region.

Two things set this yacht apart at her size. The 2022 refit means she charters in current condition rather than showing her build year, and fuel included in the rate removes the single biggest variable cost of running a 50-metre boat for a week. For a large group splitting a charter, that makes the final bill far easier to plan around.

Season on this coast runs from late April into October. July and August are warm and busy, and Bodrum is at its liveliest. May, June and September are calmer, and for many guests they are the better months — warm water, thinner crowds and softer light. A crew of eight takes every part of the week off your hands, from the cooking to the water toys.

The daily charter rate starts from €8,050, with fuel included. VAT and other running costs such as food and mooring are handled separately. This yacht is offered under the Aquinox fleet code AL5005. To hold a date, contact Aquinox Yachting on +90 549 507 19 93 or at info@aquinoxyachting.com.
