The Gulet Halil Aga 3 gulet charter, is based in Bodrum, Turkey, and offers a genuine Classic sailing experience, aboard a 30-metre wooden hull. Originally built in 1996, she underwent a refit in 2020. With her beam of 7.5 meters, this vessel carries a solid, traditional profile, typical of the finest examples of Classic yacht charter in the region. Guests booking a Bodrum yacht charter will find a gulet built for long, comfortable weeks at sea, rather than short day trips.
Accommodation on board is configured within seven cabins, comprising three double cabins and four triple cabins, sleeping up to 18 guests, in total. Each cabin has its own private bathroom, air conditioning, a safe box, hairdryer, and wardrobe space, providing every group its own private corner, regardless of cabin size. The triple cabin configuration makes this layout particularly practical for families, or groups travelling with friends, who want to share costs without sacrificing privacy.
Outdoor living on Halil Aga 3 centres on a sunbathing deck, a shaded lounge area, and sunbeds positioned for uninterrupted sea views. An outdoor dining area and barbecue station, support meals taken in the open air, while a relaxation music system sets the tone for slower afternoons, at anchor. For active guests, the yachts watersports itinerary includes; water skis, a paddle board, a wakeboard, towable toys, a kayak, a canoe, and snorkeling gear, covering most water-based activities, without needing to charter extra equipment from outside.
A crew of four, including a captain, chef, and hostess, run daily cleaning, housekeeping, and waiter or bartender, service throughout the charter. The galley is fully equipped with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, coffee machine, wine cooler, and ice maker, supporting the full-board catering option available for this yacht.

Wi-Fi, USB charging ports, and wireless charging units are fitted throughout, for guests who want to stay connected between destinations.
Power is provided from a single Iveco 450 HP engine, combined with a 24 Kwa generator, producing the gulet a cruising speed of around 8 knots, consistent with its identity as a traditional sailing vessel, rather than a performance yacht. Sailing under the Turkish flag, Halil Aga 3 represents a straightforward entry point into Turkey gulets for groups of up to 18, who want space, water toys, and full crew service, without the need for a newer, or larger hull. Anyone comparing options for a broader yacht charter in Turkey should weigh this vessel against its cabin count and 2020 refit, before booking, as both factors directly affect comfort on longer itineraries.
