AXELLA – 33.5 m Luxury Motor Yacht Charter from Göcek

There is a moment on every AXELLA charter when the world simply goes quiet: the anchor settles in a pine-fringed bay of the Twelve Islands, the water turns from sapphire to emerald beneath the hull, and the only sound is laughter from the swim platform. AXELLA is a 33.5-metre luxury motor yacht for private crewed charter from Göcek – the calmest, greenest cruising ground on the Turkish coast.

Built in Italy by Crestitalia in 1992 and extensively refitted in 2022, she pairs timeless Italian lines with a fresh, modern interior. AXELLA welcomes 10 guests in 5 en-suite cabins – a master, two VIP doubles and two twins – looked after by a professional crew of seven. A flybridge bar with teppanyaki grill, a retractable sunroof, a hydraulic swim platform and a full toy box including a Seabob and jet ski make every day an adventure.

A Day on Board AXELLA

Morning. Coffee on the aft deck as the sun lifts over the pine forests of Göcek. A Turkish breakfast spread – warm simit, honey and kaymak, olives, cheeses and fresh fruit – then a swim in water so calm it looks like glass.

Midday. AXELLA glides to the next island. The Seabob pulls you beneath the surface, the jet ski roars across the bay, the paddleboards drift towards a hidden cove. Lunch is served on deck: grilled sea bream, mezes and crisp salads.

Evening. The flybridge comes alive. The chef fires up the teppanyaki grill, cocktails are poured under the open sunroof, and dinner is served as the stars appear over the islands – or the jet tender whisks you to a floating restaurant in a secluded bay.

“In Göcek the islands are so close together that every hour brings a new bay – and on AXELLA, every bay feels like it was made just for you.”

Cabins and Accommodation on AXELLA

AXELLA’s five guest cabins were completely redesigned in the 2022 refit, with light, calming colours, soft fabrics and contemporary art. The master cabin offers generous space and a large en-suite; the two VIP doubles are perfect for couples; and the two twin cabins are ideal for children or friends. Every cabin has its own bathroom and air conditioning.

Life on Board: Salon, Decks and Flybridge

The main salon is wide and bright, with panoramic windows, a large L-shaped sofa and a separate formal dining area for ten. Outside, the aft deck dining table is the setting for long lunches, while the foredeck sun pads are the quietest spot on board. The flybridge is the heart of the yacht: a bar, a teppanyaki grill, lounge seating and a retractable sunroof that opens to the sky.

A professional crew of seven – captain, chef, engineer, deckhands and stewards – look after every detail with warm Turkish hospitality.

The Cruising Experience

Twin Detroit Diesel engines (2 × 1,440 HP) give AXELLA a comfortable cruising speed of around 20 knots. The short distances of the Göcek and Fethiye coast pass in minutes, leaving more time for swimming – and longer runs to Kekova or the Greek island of Rhodes are easy within a single week.

Turkish Cuisine and Teppanyaki on the Flybridge

• Breakfast – Turkish breakfast with simit, honey, kaymak, village cheeses, olives and menemen.
• Lunch – grilled fish, octopus salad, stuffed vine leaves and olive-oil vegetable dishes.
• Dinner – teppanyaki evenings on the flybridge, lamb, kebabs, seafood platters and Turkish desserts.
• Drinks – sunset cocktails, rakı with meze, Aegean wines and fresh juices.

Menus are tailored before you board – vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and children’s menus are all welcome.
