Neptun – 21 m Classic Gulet with 4 Double Cabins and a Crew of 4 in Bodrum
Named after the god of the sea, Neptun is a handsome 21-metre gulet with classic varnished lines, white teak-edged decks and a dedicated crew of four. Built in 1991 and refitted in 2014, she offers four air-conditioned double cabins for eight guests and cruises comfortably at around 10 knots.
A crew of four is rare on a 4-cabin gulet, and it shows: service on Neptun is attentive and relaxed, from morning coffee to dinner at anchor. She is a great choice for a private gulet charter in Bodrum when you want classic style and a little extra care.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Neptun
Neptun’s four double cabins combine warm wood panelling with soft lighting, comfortable beds, air conditioning and private bathrooms – a cosy, classic setting for couples on this 4-cabin gulet in Bodrum.

Life on Board: Classic Lines, Attentive Service
Neptun’s decks are wide and inviting: a big white-cushioned sun deck forward and a shaded aft lounge with sofas and a dining table for eight. Between swims, the crew of four keeps the cold drinks and fresh fruit coming.
In the evening the varnished woodwork glows in the sunset, and dinner is served on deck in a quiet bay – the classic Turkish blue-cruise experience at its best.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Neptun
Turkish cuisine is one of the highlights of a gulet charter in Turkey. On board Neptun, the chef prepares fresh, home-style dishes with ingredients bought daily in local markets in Bodrum, Marmaris, Göcek and Fethiye. Each day starts with a traditional Turkish breakfast – fresh simit and bread, village cheeses, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, honey and clotted cream (kaymak), menemen and eggs cooked to order, served with Turkish tea.
Lunch at anchor brings colourful Aegean mezes – haydari, ezme, stuffed vine leaves, smoky aubergine and olive-oil vegetables – followed by grilled sea bass or sea bream, octopus or chicken şiş. Dinners under the stars feature slow-cooked lamb, kebabs and the catch of the day, finished with baklava, seasonal fruit and Turkish coffee. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher-friendly and children’s menus are all available on request, and the bar can be stocked with your favourite wines, rakı, champagne and cocktails.
Famous Restaurants Along the Coast – Ashore by Tender
A private yacht lets you combine meals on board with dinners at some of the most famous restaurants on the Turkish Riviera. The captain anchors close to shore and the crew takes you there by tender, waits or returns at the agreed time and brings you back for a late swim or a nightcap on deck. Around Bodrum, favourites include Yalıkavak Marina (home to Nusr-Et, Zuma and Sakhalin), the fishing village of Gümüşlük with seafront fish restaurants such as Mimoza, and chic Türkbükü with Macakızı. Near Marmaris and Datça, guests love the fish restaurants of Selimiye such as Sardunya, Manzara in Söğüt and the restaurants of D-Maris Bay, while around Göcek and Fethiye you can dine at Özcan in Göcek, D’Breeze at D-Resort or Adaia, a bay restaurant reached only by sea.
Many quiet bays in Gökova, Hisarönü and the Göcek islands also have small family-run restaurants with their own jetties, serving fresh fish, gözleme and village dishes. Aren Yachting can reserve your tables in advance – essential in July and August – and plan your route so that every evening ends at the right spot. Restaurant availability depends on the season and reservations.
Cruising Area: Bodrum and the Gökova Gulf
Neptun’s home port is Bodrum; departures from Göcek, Marmaris or Fethiye are available on request. The classic Gökova Gulf blue voyage – Orak Island, Çökertme, Sedir Island and English Harbour – is her signature route. A sample week follows our Bodrum – Gökova blue voyage itinerary:

- Day 4 – Sedir (Cleopatra) Island: Walk on the legendary golden sand of Cleopatra Island, then anchor in pine-shaded Karacasöğüt.
