When to Go

Best Time to Charter in Turkey

The charter season in Turkey runs from mid-April through October. Like most of the Mediterranean, July and August are peak months. Turkey is known for its long, dry summers. During the yacht charter season, there is little rain, low humidity, and temperatures hovering into the mid-80s during the peak months.

How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Yacht in Turkey

Costs for crewed charters in Turkey vary widely, based on the size of the yacht and the time of your charter. There is no VAT tax in Turkey, which reduces costs on yacht charters. Typically, luxury charters range in price from €30,000 to €1,000,000 per week, plus advanced provisioning allowance. Prices are highest during July and August, and fall slightly during the shoulder season.

What Is a Turkish Gulet

A classic Turkish gulet is a wooden wide-decked sailing vessel, traditionally built for fie woods like teak, maun or iroko. A gulet is a motor sailing yacht, built for so-called “Blue Cruises” from Bodrum to Antalya.

In general, Turkish gulets range in length from 15 to 55 meters, and they offer accommodations for 6 to 20 guests. These yachts typically have schooner or ketch rigging, and have rounded sterns, which offer an abundance of deck space for soaking in the sun.

Top Destinations on Turkey Yacht Charters

The so-called “Blue Cruise” route in Turkey includes the best destinations along the country’s sparkling coastline. Some top destinations include:

• Bodrum – Rich in history, Bodrum is one of the most desirable destinations in the Eastern Mediterranean. Soak up the sun at Bodrum’s idyllic beach clubs during the day, and dance the night away in the city’s legendary clubs at night. You’ll find it all here: Fine dining, shopping, museums and plenty of entertainment.
• Gocek – A rustic Old World beach town, Gocek is known for its historic city center, rich cultural attractions, and well-preserved landmarks. Enjoy a walking tour of the city’s historic center, before a day on at one of the area’s secluded beaches. The Blue Lagoon of Olu Deniz is nearby, as is Gocek Island Beach.
• Fethiye – In Fethiye, modern amenities meet ancient history. Long an important sailing hub, Fethiye is known for its beautiful marina, which beckons superyachts from around the Mediterranean, as well as the ancient Lycian tombs and its historic fortified old city.
• Antalya – Antalya is set along the Turkish Riviera, and here you’ll find more than 400 miles of idyllic coastline to explore. Nearby, the World Heritage Site Xanthos – the ancient Greek city – is worthy of a shoreside excursion.
