In short
Chartering a yacht in Turkey, with your own crew
A Turkey yacht charter is a private crewed voyage, usually 7 to 10 days long. A week typically costs around €55,000 plus expenses, with most yachts between €35,000 and €100,000 and superyachts above €500,000. The classic route covers Bodrum to Göcek by Knidos, the Datça peninsula and the Gulf of Fethiye. Navélia sends three available yachts for your dates in about 10 minutes.
Why Turkey
The south west coast of Turkey is called the Turquoise Coast for the colour of its water. Between Bodrum and Antalya the shore breaks into hundreds of bays backed by pine forest, many of them without a road, where the only neighbours at night are other yachts.
Bodrum is the glamorous base, with its castle, Yalıkavak Marina and the beach clubs of Türkbükü. Göcek is the quiet one, a village of marinas at the head of a gulf scattered with islands. Between them lie Marmaris, the Datça peninsula and ancient Knidos, and to the east Fethiye, Ölüdeniz and the Lycian coast with rock tombs cut into the cliffs.
