Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Aqua Bella

Aqua Bella’s two masters, two doubles and triple cabin are brand new, with polished wood, soft grey bedding, air conditioning and contemporary bathrooms – superb comfort on a new luxury gulet in Turkey.

Life on Board: Modern Luxury, Day and Night

Aqua Bella’s aft deck is a true lounge with plush sofas and a dining table, while the sun deck offers plenty of space to relax. At night, ambient lighting makes her a glamorous sight at anchor.

Inside, the polished hardwood saloon is warm and stylish, and the crew of four delivers attentive service throughout your stay.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Aqua Bella

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

Aqua Bella’s home port is Bodrum; departures from Göcek, Marmaris or Fethiye are possible on request. Her twin engines make a Bodrum – Knidos – Datça week easy and comfortable. A sample week follows our Bodrum – Knidos – Datça peninsula itinerary:
