The 28-metre gulet Bodrum Queen operates out of Bodrum, Turkey, and offers a Deluxe class charter for up to 12 guests. Built in 1999 and refitted in 2020, the vessel combines a traditional Turkish hull with updated systems throughout. A 7.5-metre beam gives the layout real stability at anchor and reasonable interior volume for a gulet of this length.
This is a firm choice for groups seeking a genuine Gulet charter rather than a motor yacht, with the wooden construction and low freeboard typical of the Bodrum shipyards. The 550 hp CAT engine gives a cruising speed of around 10 knots, sufficient for the relaxed pace expected of this style of vessel.
Bodrum Queen sleeps 12 guests across six cabins: two master cabins, two double cabins and two twin cabins. Each cabin has a private bathroom, air conditioning, a wardrobe and a hairdryer, and the master cabins add a suite-style finish for the two lead groups aboard.
Bathroom amenities and a water purification system are fitted throughout, and LED lighting is used in the cabin areas. With six separate cabins for 12 guests, the configuration suits family groups or two to three couples travelling together who want their own space rather than shared dormitory-style berths.
Outdoors, the gulet is set up with sunpads, a dedicated sunbathing deck and a lounge area with sunbeds for daytime use. An outdoor dining area sits alongside a barbecue point, so meals can be taken on deck rather than confined to the indoor dining table.
The water toy inventory is extensive for a yacht in this class: water ski, wakeboard, towable toys, kayak, canoe, paddle board, snorkelling gear and fishing equipment are all carried aboard. This gives guests a genuine range of on-water activity without needing to hire external equipment locally.
The galley is fully equipped, with a wine cooler, ice maker, dishwasher, coffee machine and mini bar supporting the food service. A Bluetooth sound system and separate relaxation music system cover both the sunbathing deck and any evening entertainment, and a dance floor and schnapps bar with cocktail menu are set up for onboard evenings.
A four-person crew runs the yacht, including a captain, chef, waiter/bartender and hostess or service staff, with daily cleaning and housekeeping included. Wi-Fi, USB charging ports and wireless charging units are fitted for guests who need to stay connected during the charter.
As a Deluxe yacht charter, Bodrum Queen sits at a level where the six-cabin layout, watersports inventory and full crew service are all included as standard rather than offered as extras. The Turkish-flagged vessel operates from its home port for Bodrum yacht charter departures.
Full board catering, including soft drinks, is available at an additional daily rate, and guests may bring their own alcoholic drinks aboard with no corkage charge. Fuel for the main engines, crew service, Wi-Fi and Turkish transit log are included in the charter rate, while gratuities, airport transfers and VAT are handled separately.
Check-in from 15:30, check-out by 10:00 after breakfast. Charters are typically scheduled from Saturday to Saturday. Prices are weekly for the entire yacht.
