Yacht Charter Turkey
Yacht charter Turkey traces a coastline that reads like a greatest-hits reel of the Mediterranean – pine-clad headlands tumbling into bays so clear you can count the pebbles at five metres, Lycian rock tombs carved into amber cliffs, and harbourside restaurants where the waiter grills your sea bass over charcoal while the sun melts behind a silhouetted minaret. The fleet is one of the Med’s most diverse: more than 128 locally based vessels plus dozens of visiting yachts each summer, spanning 68′–98′ motor yachts, 100′+ superyachts, 55′+ luxury catamarans, and the country’s signature gulets – handcrafted wooden motorsailers of 90′–115′+ that deliver a style of cruising found nowhere else. Peak season runs from June through September, when air temperatures reach 30–35°C and the Aegean meltemi keeps sailing conditions lively; May and October are coveted shoulder months offering 25°C days, uncrowded anchorages, and softer pricing. Daily rates start from $3,500/day for a well-appointed motor yacht, climbing to $15,000+/day for a full-beam superyacht, plus 20% Turkish VAT (KDV) and a 30–35% APA for fuel, provisions, and marina fees. No other charter ground matches Turkey’s ability to blend world-class archaeology, farm-to-table Aegean cuisine, and luminous swimming coves into a single week’s itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a Turkey yacht charter?
For peak-season departures between June and September, booking six to nine months ahead is strongly recommended – the best gulets and superyachts regularly fill twelve months out. Shoulder-month charters in May or October can often be secured with three to four months’ notice, and sometimes come with reduced repositioning rates that offer excellent value.
What is included in the charter price?
The base rate covers the yacht, professional crew, insurance, and standard on-board equipment including the tender. Food, beverages, fuel, marina fees, and water toys are funded through the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), set at 30–35% of the charter fee. Turkish VAT (KDV) at 20% applies to the base rate, and any unspent APA is refunded at the end of the voyage.
Can I combine Turkey’s Aegean coast with the Greek islands?
Yes – and it’s one of the eastern Mediterranean’s most popular cross-border routings. Many itineraries weave between the Turkish mainland and nearby Greek islands such as Kos, Symi, and Rhodes, adding cultural contrast and Cycladic charm to the voyage. Your Boatcrowd broker coordinates all customs clearance, port-authority paperwork, and berthing arrangements for a seamless crossing.
What is a gulet and how does it differ from a motor yacht?
A gulet is a traditional Turkish wooden motorsailer, typically 90′–115′+, with broad beam, shaded aft decks, and handcrafted interiors that exude a warm, artisanal character quite unlike a fibreglass motor yacht. Gulets cruise at a leisurely 8–10 knots under a mix of sail and engine, making them ideal for coastal itineraries where the journey itself is part of the experience. They are particularly popular with families and groups who value communal dining on deck and a relaxed, unhurried pace.
