Bodrum is the true home of the Turkish gulet. For generations, the boatyards around the town have built these graceful wooden yachts by hand, and today Bodrum marina, Turgutreis and the surrounding bays are home to the largest and most varied fleet of charter gulets anywhere in the Mediterranean. Whether you are a young family looking for a simple, great-value boat, a group of friends celebrating a milestone birthday or a discerning party seeking a superyacht-style motorsailer, there is a Bodrum gulet that fits perfectly. In this guide we introduce our hand-picked 2027 Bodrum fleet, organised by size, style and budget, so you can quickly find the right yacht for your group.
Every gulet we offer has been personally visited by our team, and we only work with owners and crews we know and trust. We look closely at the condition of the yacht, the comfort and cleanliness of the cabins, the safety equipment, the quality of the food and, above all, the warmth and professionalism of the crew. That is why our guests keep coming back year after year, and why we can recommend each of these Bodrum gulets with confidence.
A selection of Bodrum gulets
Flagship Motorsailers (€100,000+ per week)
At the very top of the Bodrum fleet are our flagship motorsailers of around 50 metres – yachts such as Oğuz Khan, All About U2 and Meira. These are the largest and most luxurious gulets in Turkey, with six spacious suites for twelve guests, master cabins with panoramic windows, vast sun decks, air-conditioned saloons and crews of seven or more. They carry extensive water toys and offer the kind of service you would expect on a superyacht, while keeping the warmth and character of a traditional wooden boat. They are ideal for families and groups who want the very best.
Luxury Gulets (€55,000–€85,000 per week)
Our luxury Bodrum gulets of 39 to 47 metres – including Cobra Infinity, Infinity, Rox Star, Take It Easier and De Love – combine stylish modern interiors with generous deck space and attentive crews. They are perfect for groups of ten to fourteen who want a premium experience at a more accessible price than the flagships. Many British guests consider this the sweet spot of the Bodrum fleet.
Comfort Gulets (€25,000–€45,000 per week)
For families and groups who want comfort, space and excellent crews without luxury prices, our comfort gulets of 35 to 45 metres are outstanding value. Çakır Yıldızı, Silver Moon, La Bella Vita, Carpe Diem 5, Double Eagle and Casa Dell Arte 2 all offer five or six en-suite cabins with air-conditioning, large decks and a full set of water toys. Divided between ten or twelve guests, they often cost less per person than a good hotel.

Classic and Large-Group Gulets (from €7,000 per week)
Bodrum also has a wide choice of classic gulets of 24 to 35 metres, many with eight cabins, which are perfect for larger families and groups on a budget. Some, such as Queen of Salmakis and Sun World 8, are licensed for up to eighteen guests, so big groups can sail together on one yacht. These traditional gulets offer an authentic Blue Cruise experience at remarkably low prices.
