Bodrum Charter Cruises

Bodrum is Turkey’s gateway to yacht and gulet charter cruises along the Turkish “Riviera” and is a unique city. Various races with differing cultures, religions and languages have lived here, often together, since time immemorial. The inclination to ‘live and let live’ has evolved into strong attitudes of tolerance, broad-mindedness and warm hospitality by now bred into the people of Bodrum.

Bodrum or ancient Halicarnassus is situated on a peninsula facing the Greek island of Kos, and is the hometown of Herodotus, known to some as the “Father of History” but to other as the “Father of Lies” because of his fanciful travel accounts. Bodrum itself is a good starting point for your gulet of yacht charter cruise along the Turkish coast. The city and it’s environs offers a panorama of mythology and history, and spectacular scenery outlined by sandy beaches, rocky coves and inlets resembling small fjords.

This is an excellent place to start your Turkish Aegean coast yacht charter and your itinerary can include Ephesus, Gokova and all the small towns and villages in-between.

There is an excellent airport close to Bodrum that can be accessed from Istanbul.

Contact us to discuss booking or chartering a yacht or Gulet for your Bodrum – Gokova yacht cruise. We have an incredible selection of yachts and gulets to choose from. We are only a call or an email away. Take advantage of our local knowledge of the area and the vessels.

BODRUM ; A LAND OF DREAMS

The clearest state of love is described in the books of the Fisherman of Halicarnassus, in other words, his love for Bodrum never ended for all his life. Well, what lies behind the charm of this resort which has caused this love to grow and where the blue cruise dream started?

Bodrum... A unique land of dreams with thousands of years of history located in the western corner of Muğla, which Homer called "the land of eternal blue" with its white houses scattered on the shores like foam, endless blue sea and narrow streets leading to the sea...

This magical city makes it possible to wander like a fairy-tale hero in Bodrum Castle, made of the stones of the Mausoleum which is one of the world's seven wonders, and to have the unique experience of sharing the leading role with a long history and spectacular view in the Ancient Theatre, where we can free ourselves from roles that the life imposes on us and act out our own plays.

The privilege of visiting the museum house of Zeki Müren, another admirer of Bodrum, walking inside the Bodrum cisterns, where you can smell history in person, and visiting the Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum with exhibits from the periods in which the 15th century knights and ancient sailors lived are some of the details that make Bodrum unique.

Falling into the moonlight on Tavşan (Rabbit) Island, which you can reach by walking through the ruins of the ancient city of Myndos in Gümüşlük, known as the most beautiful place where the sun sets, discovering different tastes of life with an ice-cream that you eat in famous Bitez, saving energy day and night in Gümbet, the most colourful and fun resort of Bodrum, witnessing wonders that nature creates in Yalıkavak, the fishing beauty, are among other things that will make you fall in love with Bodrum.

The reason why those who want to enjoy the sun, the sand, the sea and the beach prefer Bodrum is that this resort has fabulous bays one more beautiful than the other:

·           Akyarlar from which daily tours to Kos Island are organized,

·           The Aquarium, which is one of the places that have become the symbol of the phrase ''pearly sea'',

·           Karaincir where you can fully enjoy the beach,

·           The Kadı Castle, surrounded by tangerine gardens,

·           Gündoğan where you can have unique experiences, such as windsurfing and sponge fishing,

·           Many coves, like Bağla with a completely different face with its sources of fresh water and cypress trees, make Bodrum one of the places that you must put your mind for your blue cruise plans.

  You can experience your Bodrum blue cruise adventure, where you will be anchoring for peace, fun and freedom with the option of gulet chartering together with your loved ones, or you can get away from the bustle and noise of city life and dive into the vast blue waters with the option of boat chartering and yacht tours.

Remember that tales exist not to make you sleep, but to wake up in a completely different world.

Efforts underway to remove a dinner cruise yacht ran aground off Maui coast

yacht cruise bodrum

Efforts to defuel a luxury tour yacht that ran aground in shallow waters off Lahaina, Hawaii , last week are underway. 

The Maui Princess, a 100-foot passenger vessel widely popular for its sunset dinner cruises around Maui, broke free from its mooring farther offshore on Thursday after “a part reportedly failed,” according to a news release by the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR). The ship drifted closer to shore and ended up stuck on “a shallow shelf of sand and rubble.”

The incident did not cause any injuries. 

What to do in Hawaii? Locals weigh in on if these popular spots are worth the hype

Maui Princess owner David Jung hired Willoughby Consulting and Adjusting to lead the defueling effort. The company started removing the ship’s 2,500 gallons of fuel, batteries, hazardous materials and other items on Monday afternoon. 

Learn more: Best travel insurance

The release said the process is expected to take several days and involve up to 10 helicopter trips to remove the majority of the fuel. 

“This is pretty calm compared to the stuff I’ve done in the past,” David Willoughby from Willoughby Consulting and Adjusting said in a transcription from Monday.

Jung did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment but told local media outlet KITV 4 Island News on Friday that the grounding was an accident. 

Since the Maui wildfires destroyed Lahaina Harbor last August, the boat has paused all commercial operations and struggled to find a location to be permanently docked. 

The DLNR Division of Aquatic Resources is “providing expertise and guidance for the removal operation to minimize any additional impacts to important hard substrate and living corals in the area.” Aquatic biologists have been unable to assess possible damage to marine life due to high surf along the West Maui coastline.

After the defueling, a salvage contractor will move the boat into deeper water during high tide. 

Last February, a different private luxury yacht ran aground off the northern coast of Maui. The vessel leaked fuel into the ocean and damaged coral and live rocks.
