Grande Mare – 34 m Luxury Gulet Charter in Bodrum, Marmaris & the Aegean

Grande Mare is a 34-metre luxury transom-stern gulet, refitted in 2019, available for private crewed gulet charter in Bodrum, Marmaris, Göcek and Fethiye. She welcomes 14 guests in six air-conditioned cabins – two masters, two doubles and two triples – with a crew of five: captain, chef, two deckhands and a waiter.

Twin 750 HP Caterpillar engines, an 8-metre beam and generous deck space make Grande Mare a comfortable, well-powered luxury gulet for families and friends on a relaxed Aegean charter.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Grande Mare

Grande Mare sleeps 14 guests in six air-conditioned en-suite cabins: two master cabins, two double cabins and two triple cabins – a flexible layout for families with children on your gulet charter in Turkey.

Life on Board: Space and Comfort

Her wide decks offer a shaded aft dining area for the whole group, deck lounges and plenty of sunbeds. Sunsets at anchor are a highlight of every week on board.

A crew of five, including a chef and a dedicated waiter, provides warm and attentive service.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Grande Mare

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