Turkey
Yacht Charter Itinerary
Turkey combines historic coastal towns, world-famous bazaars, pine-covered landscapes, and remarkable archaeological sites with secluded beaches and clear waters.
A private yacht charter in Turkey provides the freedom to explore the coastline at your own pace. Discover ancient ruins, traditional fishing villages, sandy beaches, secluded coves, and dramatic sea caves while moving seamlessly between historic sites and quiet anchorages.
Day 1
Bodrum
Begin your Turkey Yacht Charter in Bodrum, a sophisticated coastal town known for its Bohemian character, historic landmarks, and vibrant marina.
Explore the Castle of St. Peter and its Hall of Underwater Archaeology, featuring discoveries from shipwrecks along the Turkish coast. Visit the remains of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as well as the Bodrum Amphitheater and iconic white windmills.
At the waterfront, Bodrum’s marina and yacht club are surrounded by boutiques, clubs, and upscale restaurants, an ideal starting point for a Private Yacht Charter along Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.
Day 2
Datca
Continue your Turkey Yacht Charter to Datça, a picturesque seaside village on the Doric Peninsula and gateway to the ancient port of Knidos.
Set beside a clear-water cove, Knidos was a renowned center of art and culture in the 4th century BC. Explore its terraced streets, ancient city walls, theaters, and temple remains, including the Temple of Aphrodite.
With two natural harbors offering convenient anchorages, a Private Yacht Charter makes it easy to combine the archaeological treasures of Knidos with time ashore in Datça.
Day 3
Symi
Continue your Turkey Yacht Charter to Symi, a picturesque Greek island known for its mountain-framed harbor, beaches, and maritime heritage.
Once a center of shipbuilding and sponge diving, Symi blends traditional character with a lively tourism scene. Explore the Monastery of the Archangel Michael Panormitis, the historic municipal clock tower, and the Kastro, built by the Knights of St. John as part of a Byzantine fortress.
From July through September, the island’s annual festival brings open-air concerts, dance, and theater performances. A Private Yacht Charter offers the flexibility to explore Symi and its coastline at your own pace.
Day 4
Marmaris
Continue your Turkey Yacht Charter to Marmaris, a renowned yachting destination where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet. Explore secluded coves, sandy beaches, evergreen forests, and clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Ashore, discover ancient ruins, inland villages, waterfalls, and the winding streets of Marmaris’s colorful bazaar. After sunset, the waterfront comes alive with restaurants, bars, and Bar Street.
A Private Yacht Charter offers the freedom to experience Marmaris from its secluded coastline to its vibrant waterfront.
Day 5
Ekincik
Continue your Turkey Yacht Charter to Ekincik, a charming coastal village and gateway to the Dalyan River, the ancient ruins of Kaunos, and Lycian rock tombs.
Visit the Sultaniye Thermal Baths and natural hot springs, or cruise to Iztuzu Beach, known for its population of Caretta Caretta, or loggerhead, sea turtles.
A Private Yacht Charter combines Ekincik’s natural attractions with the archaeological heritage of Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.
Day 6
Oludeniz and Gemiler Island
Continue your Turkey Yacht Charter to Ölüdeniz, the celebrated Blue Lagoon on Turkey’s southwestern Turquoise Coast. Its pebbled shores and clear aquamarine waters are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving, while nearby Mount Babadag provides a dramatic setting for paragliding.
Cruise onward to Gemiler Island, where a crescent-shaped bay provides an ideal anchorage near ancient church ruins dating from the 4th to 6th centuries AD. Archaeologists believe the island may have been the site of the original tomb of St. Nicholas.
A Private Yacht Charter offers the freedom to explore both destinations from the water.
Day 7
Gulf of Fethiye
The Gulf of Fethiye combines ancient history, secluded bays, and clear Mediterranean waters. Explore Fethiye’s marina, lagoon, Roman amphitheater, and Lycian rock tombs carved into the surrounding hills.
At Manastir Bay, also known as Cleopatra’s Baths or Sunken Bath Bay, discover the semi-submerged ruins of the legendary baths by tender or snorkel. Continue to Tersane Island, formerly Telandria and once an Ottoman naval dockyard. Explore the remains of its former houses and churches, set among fruit orchards and roaming goats.
A Private Yacht Charter provides an ideal way to explore the Gulf of Fethiye’s historic sites and secluded anchorages.
Day 8
Gocek
Göcek is one of the Mediterranean’s premier sailing destinations, set beneath pine-fringed mountains overlooking Göcek Bay. Its sheltered anchorages sit alongside luxury resorts, refined restaurants, distinctive shops, and vibrant bars.
