Twenty-four metres of varnished mahogany, four double en-suite cabins and a berth in one of the quietest villages on the Bozburun peninsula: this luxury gulet charter Selimiye was launched in 2008 and rebuilt in 2019, and she reads like a yacht from an older tradition than her year suggests. The hull is wood, planked and faired in the Bodrum manner, twin Daewoo diesels of 200 HP each drive her between bays, and a full-batten mainsail with a furling genoa carries her when the afternoon breeze fills in.
Eight guests sleep aboard in four cabins, each with its own shower room, looked after by a crew of three. There is no sharing of heads, no convertible saloon berth, no compromise sleeping arrangement. A luxury gulet charter Selimiye is built around exactly this: four proper double cabins below, one long table on the aft deck, and a crew who keep the two apart until dinner.
She measures 78 feet on deck with a beam of 18 feet and draws 9 feet, a deep, narrow, sea-kindly hull rather than the wide modern box. The 2019 refit went through the interior and the systems rather than the shape: mahogany panelling throughout, air conditioning in every cabin, Wi-Fi, a full teak deck laid fore and aft. Twin 200 HP Daewoo diesels give her comfortable passage speeds without the fuel appetite of a planing hull.
The rig is a proper working one. A full-batten mainsail sets on the main mast and a furling genoa runs to the bowsprit, so she can be sailed rather than simply motored between anchorages when the meltemi cooperates. Snorkelling equipment and a dinghy with outboard are carried; bed linen and towels, end cleaning and the Turkish transit log are included rather than added afterwards.
Selimiye is a single line of houses along the water at the head of a deep bay, and it is the best possible place to begin. Orhaniye and the Kizkumu sandbar lie north, Bozburun and Selçuk Island south, Datça and the Gulf of Hisarönü west. Most anchorages are an hour or two apart, which is the point of a luxury gulet charter Selimiye — short hops, long swims, and the anchor down before lunch.
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 luxury gulet charter Selimiye turns the gulf into a week of them.
The saloon runs the width of the deckhouse in figured mahogany, with a long banquette down one side, a dining table for eight and a glass rack above the bar. Blinds cover the side windows; the galley sits forward, close enough for the cook to plate without crossing the deck. It is the part of a luxury gulet charter Selimiye that earns its keep on the one grey morning of the week, and on this boat it is a room you would happily sit in.
All four cabins take a full-size double bed and a private shower room. The master sits on the widest part of the beam with settees either side and hull windows at eye level from the pillow; the others are panelled in the same mahogany, with tufted headboards, opening portlights and generous drawer storage under every berth. Two have their own steps down from the deckhouse, which keeps the traffic out of the forward cabins at night.
Because every cabin is a double en-suite, a luxury gulet charter Selimiye of this layout suits two couples travelling together as readily as a family with older children. Turndown, linen changes and daily cleaning are handled by the crew.
Deck space is the real measure of a luxury gulet charter Selimiye, and this one carries three separate areas on a full teak deck. Forward, a curved run of cushions wraps the bow beneath a fixed awning. Amidships, a varnished sunbed sits against the deckhouse with a cocktail table alongside. Aft, the shaded dining table seats eight with a wrap-around banquette behind it, and the swim platform drops straight off the transom. Snorkelling gear is aboard; a Seabob and a wakeboard can be added.
Rates for this luxury gulet charter Selimiye open at €12,000 per week, with three crew, the dinghy and outboard, bed linen and towels, end cleaning and the Turkish transit log included; food is taken as a per-person board package and fuel, berths and beverages are billed separately. For a larger boat on the same peninsula, see our 32-metre luxury gulet in Bozburun, or the 22-metre family gulet in Bodrum. The whole fleet sits in the Aquinox yacht collection, and the type itself is described on Wikipedia.
