Caustic
Caustic is a 40-metre white-hulled gulet, built in Bodrum in 2007 and refitted through 2022, for up to 12 guests in six en-suite cabins: two masters, two VIPs and two twins. Her deckhouse is varnished mahogany with tall arched windows, but below she is light: white-panelled cabins under pale beams, teak floors, and marble on the dining tables.
Based in Bodrum with a crew of seven, she has a jacuzzi on deck and a wide foredeck laid out with sun loungers and cushions for the afternoons at anchor.
Cabins
Sample itineraries
Round the Gulf of Gökova
You'll leave Bodrum for Çökertme, where the waterside restaurants lay moorings for boats whose guests come ashore to eat. Across the gulf you'll anchor in English Harbour or the narrow inlet at Löngöz, both closed to commercial fishing. At Sedir Island the day boats leave by early evening, and legend says Mark Antony had the sand on its beach shipped from Egypt for Cleopatra.
Knidos and the Hisarönü Gulf
You'll cross to Knidos and anchor in the southern harbour, below the terraces of the ancient city. East along the peninsula, Bencik is a long inlet that almost cuts the land in two, near where Herodotus says the people of Knidos tried to dig a canal to keep out the Persians. Further in, at Orhaniye, the Kızkumu sandbar runs out into the bay just under the surface.
