M/S Meira

Meira is a 50 m luxury motorsailer for charter in Turkey, hosting up to 12 guests in 6 cabins from Bodrum, with a full onboard spa and 10 crew. Built in Bodrum by Neta Marine and delivered in 2017/2018, she carries neo-classic styling inside and out by British designer Evan K. Marshall, and her interior placed her among the finalists at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards. A full-displacement steel hull keeps her steady at anchor, while a three-mast schooner rig lets her sail gracefully even in light airs.
Six suites, a sauna, massage room and beauty salon, a flybridge Jacuzzi with swim-up bar and a well-stocked toy locker give every guest room to unwind. With a dedicated crew looking after just twelve guests, she suits families, friends marking a milestone and executive parties exploring the Turkish Riviera.

Days on board move at an unhurried pace. A morning might begin with a swim from the hydraulic platform, an afternoon with a massage or a session in the sauna, and the evening with dinner on deck as the light fades over the coast. Inside, handcrafted ebony and Aningeria woods, leather, marble and walnut floors create a warm, classic atmosphere. Air conditioning runs throughout the interior, twin 1,040 hp Mitsubishi engines give a comfortable 10-knot cruise, and wide side decks let you walk all the way around the yacht. From Bodrum she cruises the Turkish coast and, on request, the nearby Greek islands.

Life Aboard M/S Meira

The main saloon seats twelve at a single dining table beneath large windows and opens straight onto the aft cockpit, where a full-beam cushioned sofa and a sheltered alfresco dining table set the scene for long lunches. Up on the flybridge, a stylish bar, a second alfresco dining table, sun loungers and several lounging zones surround the deck Jacuzzi and its swim-up bar, and sun sails provide shade when the afternoon heat builds. Four sunbathing areas let guests spread out or gather together.

A Spa on the Water

One feature shapes time on Meira more than any other: her own spa. Guests can unwind in the sauna, book a treatment in the massage room or visit the beauty salon, which is equipped for a range of treatments. After a morning on the jet skis, it turns an afternoon at anchor into a proper retreat.

Suites and Accommodation

Six suites accommodate up to twelve guests, in a layout that works for couples, families and friends travelling together. Every suite has a marble en-suite bathroom, a home theatre system, Sonos audio and smart controls for lighting, curtains and climate.

• Master suite: on the main deck, with a king-size bed, a private dressing room with extensive storage and a his-and-her marble bathroom.
• Three double cabins: elegantly finished guest suites with double beds, premium textiles and en-suite bathrooms.
• Two twin cabins: twin single beds that convert into large doubles, a flexible choice for children, siblings or friends sharing.

Crew and Fine Dining

A professional crew of ten looks after just twelve guests and lives in separate crew quarters, so guest areas stay private. The chef cooks to a fine-dining standard, with meals served at the saloon table, on the aft deck or under the stars on the flybridge, and daily housekeeping keeps the suites fresh throughout the week. With almost one crew member for every guest, service is attentive yet discreet and shaped around your plans.

Water Toys and Leisure

When the anchor drops, the hydraulic swim platform brings guests right down to the water, and a side boarding ladder offers a second way in. The toy locker covers every pace, from a gentle paddle to a high-speed run:

• Jet skis, water skis, wakeboards and a towable ringo
• Stand-up paddleboards, canoes and a windsurfer
• Inflatable water slide
• Snorkelling and fishing equipment
• Tender with a 100 hp engine for shore visits

Indoors, the saloon has LED TVs with satellite TV and video on demand, games consoles and a PlayStation keep younger guests busy, and Wi-Fi keeps you connected.

Who Is Meira Ideal For?

Private and Executive Charters

A ten-strong crew, separate crew quarters, a main-deck master suite and an onboard spa give principals privacy and genuine downtime. Assistants and family offices comparing yachts will find practical pointers in our charter guide for executive assistants.

Families and Multi-Generation Groups

Convertible twin cabins, a stable full-displacement hull and toys for every age make Meira easy for three generations to share. Children have the slide and paddleboards; grandparents have the spa and the shaded flybridge.

Celebrations with Friends

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries and reunions suit her well: twelve guests around one saloon table, a bar on the flybridge and a Jacuzzi for sunset toasts.

Leadership Retreats

For a board or leadership team of up to twelve, six en-suite cabins and one table that seats everyone make a focused setting away from the office.

Motorsailer Charter in Turkey: Cruising Areas and Routes

Meira is based in Bodrum, and a classic sample week runs one way east to Göcek: across the Gulf of Gökova to ancient Knidos, on to Datça and the boatbuilding village of Bozburun, then via Ekincik, with an optional Dalyan river trip, into the sheltered Gulf of Fethiye. Cruising into the Dodecanese is available on request, with a loop from Bodrum taking in islands such as Kos, Leros, Patmos and Kalymnos. Routes are flexible and can be tailored to your wishes – our charter team will help you plan the itinerary. See more of what a yacht charter from Bodrum can offer.
