Cartagena – 24 m Luxury Gulet with 2 Master Suites, 4 Cabins and a Crew of 4

At 24 metres with a 6.8-metre beam, Cartagena is one of the largest and most spacious gulets you can charter with just four cabins. Her bright, contemporary interior – white leather, light oak and modern bathrooms – feels more like a motor yacht than a traditional gulet, while her classic wooden hull and rig keep the authentic blue-cruise charm.

She accommodates eight guests in two master suites and two double cabins, all air-conditioned, and is looked after by a crew of four – rare in this category. Cartagena is an outstanding choice for a luxury 4 cabin gulet charter in Bodrum where space, service and style all matter.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Cartagena

Cartagena’s two master suites are exceptionally roomy for a gulet, with large beds, sofas and modern bathrooms, while the two double cabins share the same light, contemporary finish. Every cabin is air-conditioned and en-suite – true luxury gulet comfort for eight guests.

Life on Board: Space and Service

With so much deck for only eight guests, Cartagena never feels crowded. The aft deck combines a long dining table with lounge sofas, and the huge forward sun deck is perfect for sunbathing, yoga or simply watching the coast go by.

A crew of four means attentive service throughout the day – from fresh juices at breakfast to cocktails at sunset and a candle-lit dinner at anchor.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Cartagena

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