Osman Kurt

Built in 1998, the classic Osman Kurt is based in Bodrum and takes up to 16 guests on fully crewed gulet charters in 8 private cabins.

The 8 cabins (4 Double + 4 Twin) each have their own bathroom, keeping things comfortable even for longer charters. The 4-strong professional crew takes care of everything from anchoring in the right spot to serving meals on deck — guests need only show up and enjoy.

Key comforts include air conditioning, TV, a sound system, hot water throughout, hair dryers, an ice maker, sun awnings, and sun mattresses on deck, making the cabin a welcome retreat after a day in the sun. Active guests will appreciate the on-board selection: a dinghy, kayaks, snorkelling gear, and fishing lines, ready to deploy at each day's anchorage.

Bodrum's harbour offers something few Turkish charter bases can match: the option to spend the whole week in protected water, or to venture out into the open Aegean without being more than half a day's sail from shelter. The Gulf of Gokova's national park reaches east; the peninsula's exposed headlands and the Greek Dodecanese extend south and west. Most charter groups find a week isn't quite long enough to do justice to both.
