From Bodrum
This private gulet charter in Bodrum gives your family or small group a 24-metre wooden yacht and its crew for the whole day, sailing from Bodrum harbour to some of the clearest bays on the peninsula between 10:30 and 17:30. Lunch, soft drinks, fresh fruit and cake are served on board, so all you need to bring is a swimsuit and sunscreen.
This Private Gulet Charter in Bodrum also works as a shore excursion from the Bodrum cruise port — a popular choice for passengers who have one day ashore. Shared departures follow a fixed timetable, so please send us your ship’s arrival and departure times when booking — we confirm pier pickup or suggest the private option for tight port calls. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Simply share your cruise itinerary and the date you are in Bodrum, and we will reserve your places.
Guests staying on Kos, Kalymnos or Leros can enjoy the Private Gulet Charter in Bodrum as a day trip from the Greek islands to Turkey — from Kos the ferry takes 30 minutes; from Kalymnos the ferry takes about 1 hour; from Leros the ferry takes about 2 hours, so the excursion can be planned between the morning and evening sailings. Pickup is at the Bodrum ferry terminal, and the tour is timed so you can catch the return ferry comfortably. For longer itineraries we check the ferry timetable first and confirm that the full programme fits your day. Please bring your passport and check the Turkish entry requirements for your nationality before travelling.
The classic route leaves Bodrum and anchors in turn at Aquarium Bay (Akvaryum), famous for water so transparent that fish are visible far below, at Karaada, the rocky island known for its warm sulphur springs and cave, at Tavşan Burnu (Rabbit Point) and at Kızılburun, before returning to the marina in the late afternoon. The captain may adapt the order or choose other sheltered coves depending on wind and sea conditions, always with plenty of time for swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing.
On board, the gulet offers a shaded aft deck with a dining table, sunbathing mattresses on the foredeck and an air-conditioned saloon, plus four en-suite cabins (two master and two double) for changing and resting. A 20 HP tender and a canoe are available for exploring the shore, and a professional crew of captain, chef and deckhand looks after you throughout. With a maximum of eight guests, this Bodrum boat trip is ideal for celebrations, family days out or anyone who prefers a quiet private day at sea to a crowded party boat.

Bodrum Gulet Charter Programme You board your private gulet in Bodrum harbour at around 10:30, where the captain, chef and deckhand welcome you and show you around the yacht. The 24-metre wooden boat has a shaded rear deck with seating and a dining table, an air-conditioned saloon, sun mattresses on the front deck and four cabins with private showers and toilets that you can use throughout the day. As we leave the harbour, you enjoy views back to Bodrum Castle and the white houses of the town. The first anchorage is usually Aquarium Bay, where the water is so clear that you can watch fish from the deck; it is the perfect first swim and snorkelling stop. We then sail on to Karaada, the island opposite Bodrum known for its natural warm spring and cave, followed by Tavşan Burnu (Rabbit Point) and Kızılburun, each offering turquoise water and a different backdrop of rocky shoreline. Between swims, the chef serves a freshly prepared lunch on board, along with soft drinks, seasonal fruit and cake. You can take the canoe out for a paddle, ride the tender towards the shore or simply relax on deck with music. The route may change according to the weather, as the captain always chooses the most sheltered bays. In the late afternoon we head back and arrive at Bodrum harbour at around 17:30.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
