Gulet Queen of Salmakis

Why Charter Gulet Queen of Salmakis in Bodrum

The Gulet Queen of Salmakis is a 40 meter Deluxe class gulet, based in Bodrum, Turkey. Sailing under the Turkish flag and offering a private crewed platform for up to 16 guests, within eight cabins. Originally built in 2019 and undergoing a refit in 2024, the vessel combines a traditional Turkish gulet hull, with updated systems and interior finishes, throughout. Guests planning a Bodrum charter, with genuine cabin variety and a full complement of watersports gear, will discover that the specification here is difficult to match. Those researching a wider yacht charter in Turkey route, will also note the 8.5 meter beam, which provides a gulet of this size, unusually generous deck and cabin space, plus, stability at anchor.

Eight Cabin Layout and Sleeping Arrangements

The accommodation plan configures into; 2 Master cabins, 4 Double cabins and 2 Triple cabins, sleeping 16 guests in total. Each cabin has its own private bathroom, air conditioning and a wardrobe, or closet, with bathroom amenities and hairdryers supplied, as standard. The master cabins are finished to suite-cabin standard, allowing two separate groups within a single charter party, genuinely private space to retreat to during the day, rather than sharing a single owner suite.

Outdoor Living and Deck Features

Exterior areas center on a broad sunbathing deck, fitted with sunbeds, an outdoor dining area and a barbecue set-up for al fresco meals, prepared by the onboard chef. A Jacuzzi is fitted for guests who prefer to relax aboard, between anchorages.  While underwater lighting, extends deck life into the evening hours. Indoors, the dining table and fully equipped galley support the full board catering option, supplemented with a mini bar, wine cooler, ice maker and coffee machine, keeping drinks and refreshments running, throughout the day.

Watersports and Onboard Entertainment

The water toy inventory includes; a Jet ski, Sea bob, water ski, wakeboard, paddle board, kayak, canoe and snorkeling gear, along with fishing equipment, for guests wanting an afternoon off the swim platform. Indoors, a satellite TV system with Netflix, a Bluetooth sound system, Wi-Fi throughout and a game console cover onboard entertainment, backed by board games, a poker set and a portable party speaker, for evenings on deck.

Crew and Technical Specification

A crew of seven run the vessel, including a Captain, a Chef and dedicated hostess and service staff, supported by daily housekeeping and a waiter, or bartender for drinks and cocktail service. Propulsion comes from twin Volvo 600 HP engines, backed by a 24 kVA generator, producing a cruising speed of around 8 knots. As a Deluxe yacht charter option among Turkey gulets, Queen of Salmakis is very well positioned for parties wanting full crew service and an eight-cabin layout, without stepping up into a full superyacht category.
