SailChecker Expert View

Classic gulet charm The Kaptan Yarkin is a traditional 23.5-metre gulet that suits couples and families seeking authentic wooden-boat sailing in the Mediterranean or Turkish coast. At 12 berths across 6 cabins, it works well for groups of friends or multi-family holidays wanting a more characterful experience than modern superyachts.

Well-equipped basics You've got the essentials covered, air conditioning, snorkeling kit, dinghy with outboard, and Wi-Fi keep everyone comfortable and entertained. The radio-CD player and stand-up paddle board add nice touches for downtime between anchorages.

Zero deposit appeal At €0 deposit, this is refreshingly accessible and suggests the operator is confident in their booking process. That's genuinely helpful when you're coordinating flights from the UK or US and want fewer financial hoops before departure.

Age deserves honesty Built in 1997, this boat is 27 years old, which means you're getting character but also potential maintenance quirks, wooden gulets need TLC. Check maintenance records carefully with Flaka Sailing, and manage expectations around creaks and the occasional system hiccup that comes with vintage charm.

The marina & destination

Based at Bodrum Marina, in Bodrum, Turkey. Kaptan Yarkin Cabin 3 is operated by Flaka Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Bodrum Marina sits at the gateway to the Turkish Riviera, with the Greek Dodecanese islands lying just 10-15 nautical miles north across the Aegean. Week one typically involves exploring the rugged coastline south towards Marmaris, island-hopping through sheltered bays, and working with the northwesterly winds that dominate summer sailing. The marina itself offers good facilities and is well-positioned for either a relaxed coast-hugging itinerary or a longer crossing towards Rhodes and the wider eastern Aegean.

Frequently asked questions
Can Kaptan Yarkin Cabin 3 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Kaptan Yarkin Cabin 3 bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Kaptan Yarkin Cabin 3?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
