Golden Story – 20 m Luxury Trawler Yacht Charter in Bodrum & Turkey

Golden Story is a 20-metre luxury trawler yacht, launched in 2014 and refitted in 2020. Available for private crewed trawler yacht charter in Bodrum and across Turkey, she welcomes up to 8 guests in 4 air-conditioned cabins.

With her economical cruising speed, generous deck spaces and stable, comfortable ride, Golden Story is an ideal choice for families and friends who want the space of a yacht at a sensible weekly price.

Cabins and Accommodation on Trawler Yacht Golden Story

Golden Story sleeps 8 guests in 4 comfortable en-suite cabins. Every cabin is air-conditioned with its own private bathroom, quality linen and plenty of storage, so couples, families and groups of friends can enjoy real privacy on their luxury yacht charter in Turkey. The crew services the cabins daily while you are on deck or ashore.

Life on Board: Space, Comfort and Stability

Trawler yachts are known for their comfortable, stable ride and generous living space, and Golden Story is no exception. Mornings start with breakfast on the aft deck, afternoons are for swimming, paddleboarding and snorkelling from the swim platform, and evenings for sunset drinks on the flybridge before dinner at anchor in a quiet bay.

A motor yacht gives you freedom: the captain can move quickly between bays to follow the wind and the sun, avoid crowds and reach islands that are out of range for slower boats. Your days are planned around you – late breakfasts, long swims, a visit to an ancient site or a dinner reservation ashore.

Gourmet Dining on Golden Story

Food is one of the highlights of a private yacht charter in Turkey. On board Golden Story, the chef prepares fresh, seasonal menus with ingredients bought daily from local markets. Breakfast can be a traditional Turkish spread – village cheeses, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, honey and clotted cream (kaymak), menemen and eggs cooked to order, served with Turkish tea – or a continental breakfast if you prefer.

Lunch at anchor brings colourful Aegean mezes, salads and grilled fish such as sea bass or sea bream, while dinners range from slow-cooked lamb and kebabs to Mediterranean fusion dishes, finished with baklava, seasonal fruit and Turkish coffee. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal 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. Around Bodrum, favourites include Yalıkavak Marina (home to Nusr-Et, Zuma and Sakhalin), the fishing village of Gümüşlük and chic Türkbükü with Macakızı. Near Marmaris and Datça, guests love the fish restaurants of Selimiye and 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 bay restaurants reached only by sea. Aren Yachting can reserve your tables in advance – essential in July and August.
