Boat charter in Bodrum · Lagoon 400 in Bodrum Marina — “Mare Quiero” — (2014)

Bodrum's position at the crossroads of the Turkish Riviera and Greek islands makes Mare Quiero an exceptional launchpad for a week's bareboat sailing. This Lagoon 400 catamaran sits ready at Bodrum Marina to carry eight guests across some of the Mediterranean's most rewarding waters, where sheltered bays, ancient ruins, and pine-covered coastlines reward both confident sailors and those still building their skills. Life aboard reflects the practical thinking behind catamaran design. Four cabins and four bathrooms mean your group won't queue for showers or compromise on sleeping comfort. The saloon anchors the interior, connecting naturally to the cockpit where you'll helm and socialise. Two broad hulls create surprising stability whether you're at anchor in glassy conditions or reaching toward an island. That same beam gives you generous trampolines and foredeck space—rare room to lounge, secure fenders, or simply sprawl while the shoreline slides past. The shallow draft of a cat proves invaluable here, letting you nose into small bays and beaches that deeper-hulled boats cannot reach. From Bodrum, a week typically traces routes toward the Greek Dodecanese or west along Turkey's turquoise coast. Mare Quiero's twin engines and sensible sail plan handle light-wind passages and tighter anchorages with equal ease. Whether your group aims for quiet anchorages, a mix of sailing and exploration, or longer daily passages between ports, the catamaran's stability and space create the foundation for seamless cruising.
