Tufan 5

Built in 1992, the classic Tufan 5 is based in Bodrum and takes up to 10 guests on fully crewed gulet charters in 5 private cabins.

The 5 cabins (2 Master + 3 Double) 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.

Tufan 5 is equipped with Wi-Fi, full air conditioning, a TV, a sound system, and an ice maker — practical comforts that feel more significant after a week aboard than they do reading a spec list. A well-stocked selection of water toys — kayaks, snorkelling gear, water skis, ringos, and a dinghy — gives a group of ten plenty of ways to fill the afternoons in the anchorages between sailing legs.

Tufan 5 sets off from Bodrum, where the Blue Cruise tradition runs deepest. The Gulf of Gokova stretches east from the marina, its long landlocked inlets and thermal springs at Sedir Island forming the classic first act of any Bodrum itinerary. Those wanting more variety can follow the route south-west along the Bodrum Peninsula's lighthouse headlands before deciding at the week's midpoint whether to cross to Kos or loop back through the peninsula's quieter southern anchorages.
