Are food, drink and fuel included in a Turkey charter price?

On Turkish gulets, often yes, and it is one of the best-value features in the Med. Gulet rates commonly include the crew, fuel and mooring within Turkish waters, with food and drinks handled through a board package priced per person per day. That is why a Turkey week can deliver so much per euro.

Motor yachts follow the classic model: base rate plus an APA of roughly 25 to 35% for provisioning, fuel and dockage, refunded where unspent. Alcohol and premium requests are usually extra in both cases, and the contract lists what is in and out.

We translate every quote into the same all-in language so a gulet board package and a motor-yacht APA compare fairly. Full picture: gulet vs motor yacht in Turkey.
