The 28 meter gulet Happy Hours operates out of the popular port and resort of Bodrum, Turkey. Offering a Deluxe-class gulet charter for up to 10 guests, accommodated in 5 cabins. Built in 2012 and refitted in 2023, the vessel has a 7 meter beam and twin 360 HP Iveco engines, producing a cruising speed of around 10 knots. Guests planning a Bodrum yacht charter will find Happy Hours is equipped to a standard well above the average traditional gulet, in her size and class.
She is Turkish flagged and has a 24 kVA generator, plus fitted with a water purification system, thus supporting long stretches at anchor, without relying on shore power, or the need for bottled water. Air conditioning also runs throughout the accommodation, for 10-12 hours daily, as part of the standard charter inclusions.
Accommodation is supplΔ±ed by 5 cabins comprising; 1 master, 2 double, 1 twin and 1 triple cabin, sleeping 10 guests in total. Every cabin has a private bathroom with bathroom amenities and a hairdryer, and the layout allows couples, families and larger groups to be housed comfortably with a reasonable degree of separation and privacy, rather than everyone sharing one open berth arrangement.
Deck space includes a dedicated sunbathing deck fitted with sunbeds, an outdoor dining area and a barbecue area for meals prepared by the onboard chef and served away from the interior saloon. Underwater lights add a further dimension to evenings spent at anchor.
The water toy inventory is one of the more comprehensive on offer in this size bracket; a jetski, water ski, wakeboard, paddle board, kayak and canoe are all carried aboard, alongside snorkeling and fishing equipment, allowing for guests who want active time in the water, rather than watching the coastline from the sunbeds.
Interior comforts run from a wine cooler, ice maker and coffee machine to a dishwasher, oven, microwave and toaster, all supporting the full board catering delivered by the crew. A schnapps bar and cocktail menu, dance floor, board games, playing cards and a Bluetooth sound system cover the evening entertainment side of the charter.
Wi-Fi, wireless charging units and USB charging ports are fitted throughout, and a tablet is kept aboard for GPS reference alongside the yacht's own navigation and depth sounder systems. These practical additions matter as much as the leisure toys, once a group has been aboard for several days.
A crew of 5, including a Captain, Chef and Hostess/Service staff, handles daily cleaning, housekeeping and service throughout the week. Full board catering with soft drinks included is arranged directly with the crew, and guests are free to bring their own alcohol at no extra charge.
As one of the Deluxe yacht charter options currently based on the Turkish coast, Happy Hours suits groups of up to 10 looking for a fully crewed week aboard a recently refitted, very well equipped 28-metre gulet. A serious contender for groups of up to 10, looking to sail from Bodrum.
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.
Based in Bodrum on Turkey's Aegean coast, Happy Hours is well positioned within easy reach of the bays, coves and islands that make this stretch of coastline a longstanding popular gulet cruising ground. Browse the routes below, to customize an itinerary around your group's pace and interests.
