Pınar 3 – 33m 16-Cabin Gulet Charter in Bodrum for 34 Guests

At 33 metres, Pınar 3 is a classic Turkish gulet built in 1998 and refitted in 2009. She is known for her spacious decks, attentive crew and relaxed, homely atmosphere.

With sixteen cabins for 34 guests, air conditioning and a crew of 5, Pınar 3 is an excellent 16 cabin gulet charter in Bodrum – perfect for two or three families sharing one private boat.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Pınar 3

Pınar 3 sleeps 34 guests in sixteen en-suite cabins: 10 double, 4 twin and 2 triple cabins. All cabins have private bathrooms and storage for a week on board, while the crew lives in separate quarters.

Life on Board: Space for Everyone

Days on Pınar 3 follow the rhythm of the sea: breakfast on deck, swims straight off the stern, lunch at anchor and long, lazy afternoons on the sunbeds.

Water toys include tender with 40 hp outboard, water skis, wakeboard, ringo, snorkelling gear, so there is always something to do between swims. When the wind is right the crew sets the sails for a taste of real gulet sailing.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Pınar 3

Turkish cuisine is one of the highlights of a gulet charter in Turkey. On board Pınar 3, 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.
