Why Bodrum Gulet Charter?
When planning a Bodrum gulet charter, Blue More Yachting designs the most suitable route for you on this legendary peninsula where gulet culture was born. From the moment you depart Milta Bodrum Marina or D-Marin Turgutreis, the untouched bays of the Gökova Gulf, accessible only by sea, welcome you.
The gulet is the choice that best reflects Bodrum’s character. The wooden texture crafted by Turkish masters of the Bodrum school, the expansive Teak deck, and traditional lines embody the spirit of the Aegean. Its structure allows easy access to shallow bays, enabling you to anchor far from the crowds.
A one-week itinerary usually begins in the turquoise waters of Orak Island. Without rushing, fully absorbing the scenery, you continue from Sedir Island’s Cleopatra Beach to the sheltered bays of the Seven Islands. If you wish, witness sunset at ancient Knidos and cross to Kos Island.
The table set on the spacious Aft Deck brings the flavors of the Aegean to you. Your Chef prepares olive-oil mezes and grilled fish using fresh ingredients sourced from local markets. Lying back on the Foredeck cushions and watching the stars is an essential part of the gulet experience.
With our Captains who know the region intimately and over 5 years of Bodrum gulet charter expertise, let’s create a Blue Voyage program tailored to your family’s pace.
