Gulet Arabella doesn’t just sail the Aegean she commands it. With the graceful confidence of a vessel that knows her worth, this magnificent 32-meter gulet turns heads in every harbor she enters and creates legends aboard every charter she undertakes . As a crown jewel of the Gulet World fleet, Arabella offers discerning travelers something increasingly rare: the perfect alchemy of timeless elegance, thrilling adventure, and the kind of warm Turkish hospitality that transforms strangers into lifelong friends .
Built in 2007 and lovingly renewed through multiple refits most recently in 2020 Arabella gleams with the pride of careful stewardship . Her classic wooden hull whispers stories of maritime tradition, while her contemporary amenities and striking design details announce that she’s very much of the moment. Step aboard, and you’ll feel it immediately: this is not merely a yacht, but a destination in herself .
The Moment You Step Aboard
There’s a particular magic that happens when guests first board Arabella. Perhaps it’s the way sunlight dances across her polished teak decks, or the gentle sway that reminds you the sea is now your home. Perhaps it’s the knowing smiles of her crew, who understand that your journey begins the moment your foot touches the gangway.
You’ll notice the details first the rich mahogany gleaming in the Mediterranean light, the plush cushions inviting you to sit and stay awhile, the subtle scent of salt and wood and possibility. Then you’ll notice the space. Despite her elegant lines, Arabella offers generous proportions that never feel crowded, whether you’re gathered with all eight guests for dinner or seeking a quiet corner with a book .
Four Sanctuaries, One Floating Palace
Gulet Arabella welcomes up to eight guests into four thoughtfully designed cabins, each a peaceful retreat from the sun-soaked adventures of the day . The configuration offers both flexibility and privacy:
Two Master Suites – Spacious and luxurious, these queen-size sanctuaries offer the kind of comfort that makes you want to linger over morning coffee or steal an afternoon nap with the curtains drawn against the sun. Rich wooden finishes, soft lighting, and thoughtful details create an atmosphere of understated elegance .
Two Twin Cabins – Perfectly configured for friends or family, these bright, welcoming spaces can convert to doubles upon request, offering versatility that traveling groups appreciate. Like the master suites, each features an en-suite bathroom with modern rainfall showers, individual climate control, and the kind of high-quality linens that promise deep, restorative sleep .
The interior saloon continues this theme of refined comfort. High ceilings create an airy, light-filled space where plush seating invites lingering conversations that stretch into evening . An American bar connects seamlessly to the galley, allowing the crew to serve you with effortless grace—perhaps a chilled glass of local white wine as the sun begins its descent, or a perfectly mixed cocktail before dinner .
Satellite TV and premium sound systems offer entertainment when you seek it, but most guests find the views through the panoramic windows—the endless dance of light on water, the distant islands emerging from haze—more captivating than any screen .
Decks Designed for Life’s Finest Moments
Life aboard Arabella unfolds across multiple levels, each offering its own character and charms. The spacious aft deck, shaded by a crisp bimini top, quickly becomes the heart of your floating home . Here, around a generous dining table, you’ll gather for meals that become memories.
Perhaps a leisurely breakfast as the harbor stirs to life freshly squeezed orange juice, just-baked bread still warm from the oven, local honey golden and fragrant. Lunch features mezes bursting with color and flavor, served as the boat rocks gently at anchor. Dinner becomes an event: perhaps sea bass caught that morning and grilled to perfection, or lamb kebabs fragrant with Turkish spices, served as the sky performs its nightly masterpiece of color and the first stars appear overhead .
For those seeking sunshine, the forward deck offers an expansive sunbathing area with eight large, comfortable cushions arranged for both togetherness and privacy . This is where you’ll stretch out with a book you’ve been meaning to read for years, or simply close your eyes and let the warmth of the Mediterranean sun and the gentle rocking of the boat work their magic.
A separate forward seating area provides the perfect perch for sunset cocktails a front-row seat to nature’s greatest show. Here, as the light softens and the sea turns to liquid gold, you’ll sip and savor, feeling profoundly grateful for this moment, this place, these people .
The Jacuzzi: Arabella’s Crowning Glory
One of gulet Arabella’s most distinctive features awaits on her upper deck: a luxurious jacuzzi that sets her apart from ordinary vessels . Imagine soaking in warm, bubbling water as the endless blue horizon stretches before you tired muscles relaxing after a day of swimming and exploration, a chilled drink within easy reach, the gentle sounds of the sea providing nature’s soundtrack.
As evening falls and stars emerge in constellations so bright they seem almost close enough to touch, there’s no better place to float weightlessly, surrounded by warmth and wonder, feeling utterly present in the moment.
Your Personal Aquatic Playground

Water Ski & Wakeboard – Carve through calm bays with the wind in your hair, performing for an audience of friends watching from the deck
Banana & Ringo – Share laughter-filled rides that inevitably end in splashing chaos, everyone emerging breathless and grinning
2 Paddleboards – Glide silently across hidden coves, exploring sea caves and rocky shores where larger boats cannot follow

A 5.20-meter dinghy with a powerful outboard stands ready for shore excursions, ensuring you can explore every charming village, ancient ruin, and remote beach that catches your fancy .
Five Hearts Beating as One
Every great yacht has a crew, but Arabella’s team of five offers something rarer: genuine kinship . Captain, chef, stewardess, and deckhands—they work in seamless harmony, their shared purpose ensuring your complete happiness. Their separate quarters guarantee your privacy while their warmth ensures you feel thoroughly cared for.
Your captain brings years of experience navigating these storied waters. He knows secrets not found in any guidebook—the cove where you’ll swim alone at dawn, the village taverna serving the most authentic mezes, the exact spot where sunset paints the sky most dramatically. More importantly, he listens. Each day’s itinerary flows from your dreams rather than any predetermined route .
Your chef performs daily magic in the galley, transforming fresh local provisions into meals that nourish both body and soul. Breakfast arrives with pastries still warm from the oven, local cheeses and olives, eggs prepared as you like them. Lunch features an array of mezes—stuffed vine leaves, creamy hummus, delicate börek—followed by grilled fish or chicken. Dinner becomes a celebration: perhaps a traditional Turkish feast, or an international menu crafted to your preferences .
Dietary restrictions? Simply mentioned, gracefully accommodated. Allergies or preferences? Noted with care, respected without fuss. This is the level of attention that transforms a beautiful boat into a true home .
The stewardess and deckhands anticipate needs before they’re spoken, refreshing drinks, adjusting shade, lowering the swim ladder the moment you glance toward the water. Their warmth never feels performative—it’s simply who they are, the genuine hospitality that draws visitors back to Turkey year after year .
From Bodrum to Beautiful Horizons
Homeported in Bodrum the pearl of the Turkish Riviera gulet Arabella grants you access to cruising grounds that have captivated travelers for millennia . Her size offers the perfect balance: spacious enough for luxury, yet capable of anchoring in smaller coves that larger yachts must pass by.
Perhaps you’ll trace the legendary coastline where ancient Lycian tombs meet the sea, their weathered stones telling stories of civilizations long past. Explore the tranquil bays of Gökova, where pine forests tumble down to meet crystalline water. Discover the Twelve Islands near Fethiye, each offering unique charms and hidden anchorages. Venture toward the nearby Greek islands, where a new culture awaits just across the water—different flavors, different history, same stunning sea .
Each day brings a new destination, yet the rhythm remains constant: morning swim in waters accessible only to you, afternoon exploration of somewhere beautiful, evening gathered on deck as the sky performs its nightly masterpiece. And always, as darkness falls and the first stars appear above the mast, you’ll feel it—that profound gratitude for this moment, this place, these people .
