Turkey Yacht Charter
Turkey is one of the most underrated yacht charter destinations in the Mediterranean – and one of the smartest.
While others flock to overcrowded marinas in Greece or Croatia, Turkey quietly delivers one of the best cruising experiences in the Med.
You get more yacht for your budget, more room to anchor, and a coastline that still feels wild – dotted with ancient cities, pine-covered bays, and fishing villages that haven’t sold out to mass tourism.
Our team specializes in fully crewed yacht charters — from family-friendly gulets built in Bodrum to luxury motor yachts departing from Göcek or Marmaris. We know which yachts are actually well run, which crews will take care of you, and how to build an itinerary that avoids the noise and finds the good spots.
Let’s Plan Your Dream Turkish Yacht Charter
The Turkish coast has hundreds of yachts and even more possible routes. We’ll help you cut through the noise and find the best crewed charter for your dates, group, and style.
Yacht Types Available for Charter in Turkey
We work with the core yacht types that define the Turkish charter scene: traditional gulets perfect for families or lager groups, motor yachts for longer itineraries with speed and comfort, and large luxury yachts with top-tier service.
Turkey also stands out as one of the few places in the Med where charters for over 12 guests are legal and widely available.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a yacht charter in Turkey cost?
We recommend budgeting from €15,000/week for a crewed motor yacht. Gulets are more affordable, and superyachts can exceed €200,000/week. Charter costs vary based on yacht type, season, and itinerary.
What is the best time to charter a yacht in Turkey?
We recommend chartering between May and October, with June to August offering the hottest weather. For better rates and fewer crowds, go in May, early June, or September.
What’s better: a motor yacht or a gulet?
We recommend motor yachts for speed and luxury, and gulets for relaxed group cruising at better value. Both come with full crews — we’ll help you choose based on group size and route.
Can I charter a yacht for more than 12 people in Turkey?
Yes. Turkey is one of the few places in the Med that allows charters for 12+ guests. We recommend larger gulets, multi-yacht setups, or licensed large-capacity vessels.
Are there all-inclusive yacht charters in Turkey?
Some gulets offer all-inclusive packages. Most luxury yachts operate plus expenses, meaning the base rate + APA for fuel, food, and activities. We’ll guide you on what’s included.
How far in advance should I book my Turkey yacht charter?
We strongly recommend booking 6–12 months ahead, especially for July and August. Top yachts are often booked out a year in advance.
Can I charter a yacht from Turkey to Greece?
Yes, but we recommend planning with a broker. You’ll need to clear customs and follow maritime rules, and Greek laws limit group sizes to 12 max.
