24m Romantic Gulet Charter Bodrum | 2010 | TA2403

Three cabins, six guests and a berth under the walls of Bodrum Castle: a romantic gulet charter Bodrum guests remember is usually the smallest boat they could have taken, not the largest. She lies at Bodrum Milta Marina, white-painted below and varnished mahogany above.

Built in 2010 and refitted in 2023, she is young by gulet standards and sails with a full classic mainsail. For one family or three couples, a romantic gulet charter Bodrum at this size keeps the whole vessel to a single party.

Twenty-four metres, built in 2010 and refitted in 2023

She measures 24 metres overall with a 6-metre beam and draws 3.5 metres. A 500 hp diesel and 1,000 litres of fuel cover the passages when the wind drops, while an outside GPS plotter and a generator handle the rest. The classic mainsail is set on the afternoon breeze, and underwater lights turn the water turquoise once the sun is down.

A crewed romantic gulet charter Bodrum

The yacht is chartered with her skipper and the transit log included in the rate, and provisioning, a cook and additional crew are arranged to suit the party. That flexibility is what separates a romantic gulet charter Bodrum from a bareboat week: the tender is launched when you look at the beach, and the table is laid on the aft deck 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. A romantic 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 barbecue is rigged on deck.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is air-conditioned and panelled in mahogany, with banquette seating to both sides, a dining table and the inside helm forward under a run of panoramic windows. The aft deck carries a second table with a view straight out over the harbour. This is the interior a romantic gulet charter Bodrum is judged by.

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

Three cabins

Three double cabins sleep six, each with its own head, shower and air conditioning. The panelling is white above a mahogany rail, the deck beams are left exposed overhead, and every bed is dressed in white linen with a compass rose. A romantic gulet charter Bodrum with three 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 and forward of the mainmast, and the aft deck seats all six around a single long table. A dinghy with its engine included and snorkelling sets are carried aboard, and the outside shower and swim ladder make the water the default room of a romantic gulet charter Bodrum.

Charter this gulet in Bodrum

Rates open at €10,080 per week for the whole yacht with the skipper and transit log included, which places this romantic gulet charter Bodrum in the middle of the crewed market rather than at the top of it. Larger parties should compare the 24-metre four-cabin gulet or the 24-metre sailing gulet in the same port, while the wider fleet is listed under charter yachts. Background on the type is at Wikipedia.
