37m Sailing Gulet Charter Bodrum | 2012 | LU3705

A sailing gulet charter Bodrum that actually sails is rarer than it should be. This one is thirty-seven metres, two masts, a furling mainsail and a furling genoa, and a white hull with a gold sheerline over a dark boot stripe. Below her rig sit two MAN diesels of 440 hp each for the windless afternoons. Five cabins take ten guests, the decks are teak from stem to stern, and a jacuzzi is let into the foredeck. She lies at Bodrum Marina and works the peninsula bays and the Gulf of Gökova. Launched in 2012.

She runs fully crewed — captain, chef and stewardess aboard — so ten guests are looked after properly. Five cabins below: one master, two VIP and two double, each with its own ensuite head and shower. A sailing gulet charter Bodrum is built around exactly this: a small, well-run boat with real sails and a proper galley.

Thirty-seven metres, a two-masted gulet

The numbers hold up. Length 37 m, or 121 ft. Beam 7.3 m. Draught 2.1 m, shallow enough for the coves the bigger boats have to admire from outside. Twin 440 hp MAN diesels, a furling mainsail on the main boom and a furling genoa forward, so the rig can be set and struck by the crew alone. A generator keeps the boat running at anchor, air conditioning runs throughout the accommodation, and Wi-Fi reaches every cabin.

The deck plan is unusually generous for the length. The foredeck carries a jacuzzi set into the teak with sunpads either side of it, a wicker lounge and the tender and toys forward of that. Aft, a full-width shaded deck takes a dining table for ten, a long sofa and a bar that opens straight into the saloon. A sailing gulet charter Bodrum on this hull spends most of the week outside.

A crewed sailing gulet charter Bodrum

Charters begin at Bodrum Marina, in the town under the castle. From the dock the cruising ground opens straight up: the sheltered reach of the Gulf of Gökova, Çökertme and the Seven Islands, Sedir Island with its Cleopatra sand, Orak and Karaada off the peninsula, and the Güllük shore to the north. The crew plans each day to the weather — a morning under sail when the meltemi fills in, lunch at anchor over clear water, the tender ashore to a village the road reaches slowly.

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 sailing gulet charter Bodrum turns the gulf into a week of them.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is panelled in warm mahogany with a pale deckhead and a soft grey carpet: sofas and a low table to one side, a formal dining table for ten to the other, and a television set into the joinery. Windows run down both sides at eye level. Forward of the saloon a curved bar with three stools faces the inside helm, and the whole space opens aft through a full-width glass door onto the shaded deck. A sailing gulet charter Bodrum eats outside more often than in, but the inside is there when the wind gets up.

Five cabins

Below, five cabins take ten guests — one master, two VIP and two double — each with its own ensuite head and shower. The master runs full beam with a walk-around berth, a day sofa and a long dressing console; the VIPs take walk-around doubles under oval portholes; the doubles carry a berth and a day sofa apiece. Everything is mahogany and pale linen, air conditioning runs throughout, and the heads are finished in matching joinery with glass shower stalls. A sailing gulet charter Bodrum at ten guests keeps the boat quiet.

On deck and in the water

The foredeck jacuzzi is the centrepiece, with sunpads either side and a wicker lounge right forward. A jet ski sits on the side deck, stand-up paddleboards stow along the rail, and the tender launches from the bow for transfers and coast runs. A Seabob can be added by the week. The side decks are wide enough to walk two abreast and the swim ladder drops straight off the stern. A sailing gulet charter Bodrum ends each day in the water.
