From €30,000 /weekFuel for 4 hours' cruising a day included. Plus VAT and food.

Lycian Queen is a 37-metre gulet built in 2015 for up to 18 guests in eight en-suite cabins — a master, a VIP, four doubles and two triples — which makes her one of the few boats on this coast that takes a big family group without splitting it across two hulls. High-gloss mahogany throughout, a long saloon dining table and a second, shaded table aft.

She has a crew of seven. Summers run the Bodrum peninsula, across to Kos, Symi and Rhodes, and down to Marmaris, Göcek and Fethiye. Toys: waterskis, two SUPs, two canoes, windsurfer, wakeboard, kneeboard and a 115 hp tender.

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.
