SailChecker Expert View

Classic gulet charm The Sila is a beautifully traditional 23-metre gulet that suits couples or small groups wanting an authentic wooden-boat experience with modern comforts. Built in 1989, she carries genuine character while offering essentials like air conditioning, heating, and navigation kit for year-round cruising.

Well-equipped for basics You get solid cruising gear here, chart plotter, radar, dinghy, and snorkeling equipment, plus onboard conveniences like a coffee maker and ice maker that make life comfortable. The outboard engine keeps maintenance straightforward, and a zero deposit is genuinely refreshing.

Value consideration At single-cabin capacity, pricing will depend heavily on daily rate, which isn't shown here. For a classic gulet of this vintage, you're typically paying for character and hands-on sailing atmosphere rather than modern luxury, worth it if that appeals to you, but confirm the actual cost against newer rivals.

One practical note A 35-year-old wooden vessel needs diligent maintenance, so ask Xenos Yachting directly about recent refits and survey history before committing. Knowing the base location would also help assess your airport transfer time from major European or UK hubs.

The marina & destination

Based at Bodrum Marina, in Bodrum, Turkey. Sila Cabin 5 - Standard is operated by Xenos Yachting.

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 Sila Cabin 5 - Standard be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Sila Cabin 5 - Standard 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 Sila Cabin 5 - Standard?
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.
