Why a cabin charter on Elara

No whole-boat cost Full board, zero planning Fixed route, fixed Saturdays

The Bodrum–Hisaronu cabin charter aboard gulet Elara is an 8-day shared gulet cruise from Bodrum, Turkey, to the Hisaronu Gulf and back, with 18 Saturday departures from May 29 to September 25, 2027. Guests book a private cabin with full board and share the yacht — not a private charter.

Made for couples and solo travellers trying a gulet for the first time — your cabin stays private, the table is shared.

An Unforgettable Family Journey with DE Yachting Aboard Baba Can

Our family just returned from the most incredible trip to Turkey, and it truly exceeded every expectation. The highlight of our vacation was our unforgettable week aboard Baba Can, which was simply perfect from beginning to end.

A huge thank you to Hülya and the entire team at DE Yachting for organizing such a seamless experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, communication was excellent, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process.

Most importantly, our captain and crew aboard Baba Can were absolutely outstanding. They made us feel at home from the moment we stepped on board. Their kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made the trip so special. They went above and beyond every day, whether it was finding beautiful secluded bays, preparing incredible meals, or making sure our family had everything we needed. By the end of the week, they felt like family.

Turkey itself is one of the most beautiful countries we’ve ever visited, with crystal-clear water, charming coastal towns, delicious food, and incredibly warm people. Thanks to DE Yachting and the amazing crew of Baba Can, this became one of the best vacations our family has ever taken.

We cannot recommend DE Yachting and Baba Can highly enough. Thank you, Hülya, our captain, and the entire crew for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We will absolutely be back!
