Gulet Golden Life

Why Charter Golden Life in Bodrum

Golden Life is a 21 meter Classic gulet, based in Bodrum, Turkey. She was originally built in 2002 and underwent a refit in 2021. This private charter gulet suits couples, families and small groups, seeking a traditional wooden-hulled vessel, with upgraded modern systems, below deck. With her 6 meter beam and a 260 HP Iveco engine, she offers a stable, comfortable ride for coastal cruising, along the Turkish coastline.

Cabin Layout and Sleeping Arrangements

Golden Life is configured with 4 double cabins, accommodating up to 8 guests, in total. Each cabin includes a private bathroom, air conditioning, a wardrobe and hairdryer, with bathroom amenities, provided throughout. The suite cabin adds a further layer of comfort, for the primary guests, while the remaining doubles are finished to the same standard for consistent privacy, across the vessel.

Deck Spaces and Outdoor Living

On deck, guests will find a dedicated sunbathing area, a shaded lounge and sunbeds, arranged for relaxing between swim stops. An indoor dining table caters for meals when the weather turns, while the barbecue area allows the onboard chef to prepare fresh catches, or grilled dishes, outside. A relaxation music system runs through the communal areas, and a fully equipped kitchen with a wine cooler, ice maker and coffee machine, supports the full board catering service.

Watersports and Entertainment Onboard

Active guests have access to a paddle board, kayak, canoe and snorkeling gear, all included for exploring bays, along the route. For evenings, the gulet carries a Bluetooth sound system, portable party speakers and a small dance floor, plus board games, a poker set and a game console, for quieter evenings at anchor. Wi-Fi, USB charging ports and wireless charging units, are fitted throughout to ensure guests stay connected, during their charter.

Crew, Service and Classic Gulet Appeal

A crew of three run the vessel, including a captain, chef and hostess/service staff, with daily cleaning, housekeeping and bar service all covered, as part of the charter. Full board catering with soft drinks, is offered at an additional daily rate, and guests are welcome to bring their own alcoholic drinks aboard, at no extra charge. As a Classic yacht charter, Golden Life carries the timber lines and traditional layout, associated with this category, distinct from newer fiberglass builds, in the same fleet.

Operating from Bodrum, she is ideally placed, for those planning a wider yacht charter in Turkey, with straightforward access to the Bodrum peninsula and nearby Aegean cruising grounds. All bedding, linens and towels are included in the charter rate, along with fuel for the main engines covering 3 to 4 hours of cruising per day and 4 to 5 hours of air conditioning. Port taxes in Turkish waters and the Turkish transit log are also included, leaving guests to budget mainly for gratuities, private marina fees and VAT. For groups wanting a genuine wooden gulet experience, with a compact 8 guest capacity, Golden Life is a straightforward, well-equipped contender, within the wider selection of Turkey gulets.
