Princess Alize – 29 m Deluxe Gulet with 5 Cabins, Fully Refitted in 2025

Completely refitted in 2025, Princess Alize is a 29-metre deluxe gulet with a striking red-and-white style, a vast 7.25-metre beam and five air-conditioned en-suite cabins for ten guests. A crew of five provides a level of service you would expect on a much larger yacht.

Her huge decks, contemporary saloon with dining and lounge areas, and bright, hotel-style cabins make her one of the most spacious and comfortable choices for a luxury 5 cabin gulet charter from Bodrum.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Princess Alize

All five cabins on Princess Alize were renewed in 2025 with light wood, bold red accents, air conditioning and modern private bathrooms – spacious, stylish rooms for families and groups on a deluxe gulet holiday in Turkey.

Life on Board: Space and Five-Star Service

With 29 metres of length and a wide beam, Princess Alize offers enormous outdoor space: a huge sun deck forward and a shaded aft deck with sofas and a long dining table.

Inside, the contemporary saloon combines a lounge and a dining area. A crew of five takes care of every detail, from morning coffee to candle-lit dinners at anchor.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Princess Alize

Turkish cuisine is one of the highlights of a gulet charter in Turkey. On board Princess Alize, 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.

Where to Cruise: Bodrum, Knidos and Datça

Princess Alize’s home port is Bodrum; departures from Göcek, Marmaris or Fethiye can be arranged on request. A week to Knidos and the Datça peninsula makes the most of her size and comfort. A sample week follows our Bodrum – Knidos – Datça peninsula itinerary:
