Queen Duru – 32.3m 7-Cabin Gulet Charter in Bodrum for 14 Guests

Queen Duru is a 32.3-metre classic gulet, built in 2019. Her teak decks, shaded dining area and wide sunbathing spaces make every day at anchor easy and sociable.

With seven cabins for fourteen guests, air conditioning and a crew of 5, Queen Duru is a smart 7 cabin gulet charter in Bodrum – ideal for large families, multi-generation trips and groups of friends.

Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Queen Duru

Queen Duru sleeps fourteen guests in seven en-suite cabins: 1 master suite, 5 double and 1 triple cabins. The flexible layout works well for families travelling with children as well as couples and friends, and every cabin is air-conditioned.

Life on Board: Relaxed Days at Anchor

On Queen Duru there is room for everyone: a shaded table for long lunches, sun cushions for reading and dozing, and the turquoise sea just a step away.

Water toys include tender, ringo, canoe, snorkelling gear, fishing gear, so there is always something to do between swims. The cook prepares fresh Turkish dishes every day, and the captain knows the quietest coves of the coast.

Turkish Cuisine and Dining on Queen Duru

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