M/S Bodrum Queen

Bodrum Queen is a 27 m gulet for 12 guests in 6 cabins, offering gulet charter from Bodrum, Turkey, with a flybridge deck and a Smart TV in every cabin. Built in 1999 and refitted in 2020, she is a motor sailer with a 7.30 m beam, which gives her more deck and cabin space than her length suggests. Her six cabins, two master suites and four doubles, each have an en-suite bathroom with a shower and a house-type toilet, along with a Smart TV with IPTV, a hairdryer and fresh towel sets. Air conditioning runs for 8 to 10 hours a day. The flybridge is the standout feature for a gulet of this size, an elevated deck with the widest views on board, while the main deck has sun beds, shade awnings, a deck shower and an aft table for meals outside.

Evenings are well catered for, with a PlayStation, Netflix, a JBL Party Box and 4G Wi-Fi within the charter area, plus Rummikub, backgammon and board games for slower hours. The galley is fully equipped, with three wine coolers, a dishwasher, an ice maker and three coffee makers. For the water there are paddleboards, canoes, snorkelling and fishing equipment, and a 4.50 m Zodiac with a 40 HP outboard for trips ashore. A crew of four, including the captain and a chef, lives in separate quarters. From Bodrum, the bays of the peninsula and the Gulf of Gökova are a short sail away. She suits families, friends celebrating and relaxed groups who want the whole boat to themselves.

Life on Deck Aboard M/S Bodrum Queen

The day on Bodrum Queen has two levels. Up on the flybridge, the views open out over the bay, a natural spot for a morning coffee or a sundowner. Down on the main deck, the sun awnings shade the aft dining table, the sun beds take the afternoon, and the swim ladder and deck shower keep the rhythm of swimming and drying off simple. When the music comes on, the JBL Party Box carries it across the deck, and three wine coolers keep the evening well supplied.

Cabins and Comfort

All six cabins share the same practical set-up: an en-suite with a shower and a house-type toilet, a Smart TV with IPTV, a hairdryer and towel sets, with hot water throughout. Air conditioning is available for 8 to 10 hours each day, and the crew live in their own quarters.

• Two master suites: the largest cabins on board, good for parents, grandparents or the hosts of the charter.
• Four double cabins: comfortable doubles with the same en-suite and entertainment set-up as the masters.

Crew, Chef and Galley

Four crew run Bodrum Queen: the captain, a chef and deckhands. They take care of navigation, daily housekeeping and the meals, with the chef cooking on board in a galley fitted with a fridge, a freezer, an ice maker and a dishwasher. Coffee comes from three separate machines, so a crowded breakfast table is never a problem.

Toys and Entertainment

Her water toys suit easy days at anchor, and her entertainment set-up is unusually complete for a 27 m gulet.

• 2 stand-up paddleboards and 2 canoes
• Snorkelling equipment and basic fishing gear
• 4.50 m Zodiac with a 40 HP outboard engine
• 4 Smart TVs with IPTV, Netflix and a PlayStation
• JBL Party Box, saloon music system and a CD/DVD player
• Rummikub (Okey), backgammon and board games

Who Is Bodrum Queen Ideal For?

Families and Multi-Generation Groups

Two master suites and four doubles give each family unit its own en-suite space, and the Smart TVs, Netflix and PlayStation keep teenagers content after a day of paddleboarding and snorkelling.

Friends’ Getaways and Celebrations

A flybridge for sunset drinks, three wine coolers and a JBL Party Box make her a natural fit for a birthday, a reunion or a group of couples sharing the boat.

Young Groups on a Blue Voyage

For friends who want a private gulet, long swims and evenings with music on deck rather than a heavy toy list, she offers plenty of space for twelve.

Cruising from Bodrum: Sample Routes

Bodrum Queen is based in Bodrum, where ancient ruins sit a short walk from the beach clubs. A relaxed week could start by working around the peninsula’s bays, with swim stops at Bitez, Akyarlar and Camel Beach, then cross into the Gulf of Gökova for quieter anchorages in pine-backed coves. Longer one-way routes towards Marmaris or Göcek can also be arranged. Every itinerary is a sample, and our charter team will adapt it to your group.
