Cobra King – 38.6m Luxury Gulet Charter in Bodrum for 12 Guests

At 38.6 metres, Cobra King is one of the grandest wooden gulets on the Turkish coast. Built in 2005 by the respected Cobra Yacht shipyard in Bodrum and refitted in 2017, she combines a mahogany hull and the graceful lines of a traditional gulet with interiors styled by designer Dara Kırmızıtoprak.

With five cabins for up to twelve guests, a professional crew of six, full air conditioning and an impressive selection of water toys, Cobra King is an outstanding choice for a luxury gulet charter in Bodrum – ideal for multi-generation families and groups of friends who want space, comfort and style on their blue cruise.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Cobra King

Cobra King’s five en-suite cabins sleep up to twelve guests: a spacious master suite with a king-size bed, two double cabins and two triple cabins, each with a double and a single bed – a flexible layout that works perfectly for families travelling with children. Every cabin is air-conditioned and finished in warm wood with soft lighting, so you sleep in comfort even in the height of summer.

Life on Board: Space, Style and Family Comfort

Cobra King is built for living outdoors. The shaded aft deck holds a long dining table and deep sofas, the bar is perfect for sundowners, and the wide foredeck and sun deck give everyone room to stretch out between swims. Inside, the elegant salon with its dining area and entertainment system offers a cool retreat on hot afternoons.

With two tenders, water skis, a wakeboard and canoes, there is always something to do – from high-speed thrills behind the Zodiac to quiet paddles into hidden coves. Her crew of six looks after every detail, from early-morning coffee on deck to candlelit dinners at anchor.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Cobra King

Turkish cuisine is one of the highlights of a gulet charter in Turkey. On board Cobra King, 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, Gökova and Beyond

Cobra King’s home port is Bodrum, and one-way or round trips from Göcek, Marmaris and Fethiye – or to the Greek Dodecanese islands – can be arranged on request. With a cruising speed of 12 knots she covers the coast comfortably, leaving more time for swimming and exploring. A sample week follows our Bodrum – Gökova blue voyage itinerary:
