Her Story

Dragon Fly emerges from the prestigious shipyards of Bodrum as a testament to Turkish gulet craftsmanship. Built in 2006 and comprehensively refitted in 2017, this 41-metre vessel showcases the perfect marriage of traditional wooden construction with contemporary luxury appointments. Her impressive 8.2-metre beam provides generous interior volumes while maintaining the elegant proportions that define classic gulet design.

The vessel's construction heritage reflects the finest traditions of Turkish boatbuilding, with meticulous attention to detail evident throughout her layout. Her recent refit brought her to current luxury charter standards while preserving the authentic character that makes gulets so distinctive. The spacious deck areas flow seamlessly from bow to stern, creating multiple environments for relaxation and entertainment.

Dragon Fly's engineering includes reliable twin engines delivering a comfortable cruising speed of 7 knots, with a maximum speed of 12 knots when conditions require. Her 4.2-metre draft ensures access to both deep-water anchorages and the shallow bays that make the Turkish coast so enchanting. The vessel's professional systems include comprehensive air conditioning, satellite communications, and modern safety equipment, all managed by her experienced crew of six professionals.

Dragon Fly's expansive deck spaces create natural gathering areas for every mood and moment. Her forward lounging areas provide intimate settings for morning coffee or sunset cocktails, while the generous stern platform offers easy access to the water's edge. The vessel's comprehensive air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the interior, complemented by unlimited Wi-Fi connectivity to keep guests connected to the world beyond.

The water sports collection transforms each anchorage into a personal playground. Guests can explore hidden coves with the fleet of kayaks, experience the thrill of water skiing and wakeboarding, or discover underwater treasures with complete snorkelling equipment. The tender facilitates effortless transfers to secluded beaches and charming harbours, while fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the comprehensive gear provided for both sport and sustenance.

Entertainment aboard flows naturally from the spacious salon with its welcoming bar and dining facilities to the multiple deck areas designed for al fresco living. Sun mattresses provide perfect spots for Mediterranean lounging, while the vessel's traditional rigging adds an authentic backdrop to every gathering. The five o'clock tea service and welcome drinks celebrate the gracious hospitality that defines the Turkish charter experience.

Guest Accommodation

Floating Sanctuaries

Five carefully crafted suites designed for rest and rejuvenation.

Dragon Fly's accommodation layout offers unparalleled flexibility for groups of up to ten guests across five beautifully appointed cabins. The master suite commands the prime position, featuring an expansive layout, walk-in wardrobe, and luxurious en-suite facilities. A VIP double cabin provides similar comfort and privacy, while two additional double cabins offer generous proportions and panoramic views of the surrounding seascape.

The vessel's two twin cabins can be converted to double configuration when required, ensuring optimal flexibility for varying group compositions. Each cabin features individual climate control, private en-suite facilities with shower cubicles and modern fixtures, and entertainment systems including LCD televisions with DVD, CD, and MP3 capabilities. Premium linens, bathroom towels, and beach towels are provided throughout, while dedicated crew quarters ensure staff privacy and guest comfort.

The accommodation philosophy aboard Dragon Fly emphasizes both privacy and connection to the sea. Large windows and portholes in each cabin provide natural light and views, while the soundproofing ensures peaceful rest. The professional marine-grade air conditioning system operates throughout the vessel, while the thoughtful layout places all guest cabins away from engine and crew areas for maximum tranquility.
