DENDEN – 32 m Luxury Yacht for Daily Charter & Events in Bodrum

Picture the white houses of Bodrum glowing in the late afternoon sun, the Castle of St Peter on one side and the turquoise Aegean on the other – and your guests raising a glass on a private 32-metre yacht as the sun dips into the sea. That is a day aboard DENDEN, a luxury motor yacht for daily charter, private day trips and events in Bodrum.

Built in 2015 and refitted in 2020, DENDEN welcomes up to 80 guests on her wide open decks and elegant indoor salon. She is the perfect floating venue for weddings, engagement and proposal celebrations, birthdays, corporate events and product launches – or simply an unforgettable swimming and sightseeing day with family and friends.

A Day on DENDEN in Bodrum

Morning. Board in Bodrum and cruise out past the castle towards the islands. The first swim stop is in crystal-clear water at Kara Ada, where guests can also visit the island’s famous warm springs.

Midday. DENDEN anchors in Aquarium Bay or a quiet cove near Akyarlar. The sun deck fills with laughter, lunch is served on board – fresh fish, mezes and salads – and the more adventurous jump straight into the sea.

Sunset. As the light turns gold, the yacht heads back along the peninsula. This is the moment for a proposal, a toast or the first dance – with Bodrum Castle lit up as the backdrop.

“Bodrum is made to be seen from the sea – white houses, turquoise coves and a sunset you will remember for years.”
