Turkey Yacht Charter
With hundreds of beautiful islands spread across 8,000 kilometers of stunning coastline, Turkey is a paradise for yachting enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Its divine beaches, bays, coves, and ports are irresistible to those who adore the sea. And inland, you can explore majestic mountains and valleys with vast lakes, rushing waterfalls, and mysterious hidden grottoes.
Unlike some yacht charter destinations, Turkey is a perfect spot for both winter and summer vacations. Thanks to its diverse geography, you can experience four different climates in a single day, giving you plenty of choice in your preferred weather. And no matter where you go, you’ll find breath-taking natural beauty, historical marvels, or fascinating archaeological sites.

Turkey top yacht spots to experience
Istanbul
Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, is a unique breed of cultural curiosity that every Turkey yacht charter vacation should include. Located on the Bosphorus Strait, the city blends East and West together – both figuratively in its history and culture, and literally in the design of the city itself.
As you explore Istanbul, stop by historic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque and the Blue Mosque for a majestic slice of Turkish religious heritage. Then browse the vibrant city markets for hidden treasures and trinkets before stopping off at a local restaurant to indulge in traditional Turkish cuisine.
Bodrum
Sat along the Aegean coast, Bodrum is a lively port city known for its beautiful beaches, crystalline waters, and energetic nightlife.
By day, explore the colorful bazaar, where you’ll find souvenirs, jewelry, carpets, and more. Then, by night, step into a glamorous club for exceptional food and drink, high-class service, and music from live DJs – and stay until the early morning.
Bodrum is so much more than just a party town, however. While you’re there, step back in time with a trip to the ancient city of Halicarnassus, and take a tour of Bodrum Castle. And while you enjoy the stunning shores, take the opportunity to indulge in snorkeling, scuba diving, and water sports.
Göcek
Nestled in the Bay of Göcek is the small town for which it’s named, renowned for its incredible natural beauty and serene ambience.
Sail the calm waters of the region’s beautiful coastline, stop in at the surrounding islands, and take some time to indulge in watersports like kayaking and paddleboarding. Then head into Göcek itself to peruse the local markets and sample some delightful Turkish culture and cuisine.

Turkey yacht charter FAQ
When is the best time to visit Turkey?
Turkey has a long sailing season thanks to its warmer weather, stretching from late April right through to October.
The peak season is during the summer months between May and September, when the steady winds and perfect weather offer unbeatable sailing conditions.
For a quieter yacht charter vacation in Turkey with fewer tourists and cooler temperatures, consider visiting in April to early June or late September to October.
What is sailing like in Turkey?
Turkey’s Mediterranean coast is lined with mountains and coniferous forests. These shelter the waters from strong winds, providing exceptional sailing conditions. And in the rare event of poorer weather, the short distances between stops makes it easy to find shelter.
How much are the yacht mooring fees in Turkey?
Yacht mooring fees in Turkey range from €50 per night for a smaller yacht in low season to €130+ per night for a large yacht in high season.
Large marinas typically charge €80-€250 depending on the size of your yacht. But smaller restaurant-owned pontoons are generally cheap or free of charge for customers who eat or drink there.
How long does it take to sail Turkey?
One week is the perfect length of an exciting, fast-paced luxury yacht charter vacation in Turkey. But if you want more time to relax, explore, and immerse yourself in the local cultures, you might prefer a stay of two weeks.
