Elara 1 and a Quiet Sense of Time Leaving Bodrum

This journey does not rush. It does not try to impress. It moves at its own pace. Elara 1 leaves Bodrum with a simple feeling in mind: what matters is not how many places you see, but how present you are while you are there.

Elara 1 is a Bodrum based gulet, 44 metres in length, with 12 cabins in total. The layout includes 6 double and 6 twin cabins, accommodating up to 24 guests. It is spacious without feeling crowded. Everyone has their own space, and the shared areas naturally bring people together.

Built in 2010, Elara 1 carries the calm confidence of a well balanced gulet. Wide deck areas, a comfortable salon, and a layout designed for life at sea rather than constant movement. Wi-Fi is available, but rarely needed. There is always something better to look at.

What Is the Route?

A Bodrum departure offers a familiar rhythm that never feels repetitive. The route is shaped together with the captain, guided by sea conditions and the mood of the group. There is no strict schedule. The flow of the day decides.

Mornings begin quietly, when the sea still feels untouched. Lunch stretches longer than planned. Swimming breaks turn into conversations. Evenings soften on deck as voices lower and time slows down.

Life on Board

Elara 1 is operated with an experienced crew of 8. They know when to step back and when to be present. Service is attentive but never intrusive.

Meals are fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Provision planning can be organised for you, or shaped according to your own preferences. Nothing feels forced. Everything finds its place naturally.

Who Is This Gulet For?

Elara 1 is for groups who want to travel together without noise. For those who value shared moments over constant activity. For guests who prefer adapting to the day rather than controlling it.

Elara 1 does not promise speed or spectacle. What it offers is simpler and more lasting: a few days where time feels like it truly belongs to you.
