Bodrum Yacht Charter

Chartering a yacht in Bodrum is the most special way to explore the Aegean's turquoise coves on your own boat, far from the crowds. The peninsula's deeply indented coastline offers dozens of beautiful bays within short distances, which makes Bodrum an ideal base for both day boat tours and multi-day blue cruises.

One of the most loved Bodrum boat charter routes is the western tour departing from Turgutreis. Setting off from Turgutreis you soon reach Cati Island and then the clear turquoise water of Orak Island, known as the Aquarium Bay. In these glassy coves you can see the seabed easily with a snorkel and swim for hours at a calm anchorage.

On routes leaving from Bodrum centre and Gumbet, Karaada stands out. The island's healing mud and warm-water caves are a classic stop on a Bodrum boat tour. From here you can continue to the Kargicik and Ciftlik bays and spend the day swimming in clear water, sunbathing and relaxing on deck.

To the north of the peninsula you will find Gumusluk with its fishing-village charm, Yalikavak with its stylish marina, and the calm bays and sunsets of Turkbuku and Gundogan. Each route shows a different side of Bodrum; you can anchor in a quiet cove in the morning and move to a livelier shore in the afternoon, building the day entirely around you.

The greatest advantage of a day boat tour in Bodrum is freedom. Instead of crowded public beaches, you anchor in calm, clear swimming coves reachable only from the sea. On your own boat you set your own food, your own music and your own pace; you swim without queues and stay as long as you like in any bay. For families, groups of friends and special days, this turns an ordinary holiday into an unforgettable experience.

For a longer escape, an overnight blue cruise is ideal. Over a few days or a full week you wake up in a different bay each morning and explore the coast towards Gokova and Datca at a relaxed pace. Sleeping on deck under the stars is one of the most treasured moments of a blue cruise.

Bodrum yacht charter options come in a variety to suit every group. Choose from spacious gulets for large families and groups, catamarans for comfort and stability, motor yachts for speed and modern interiors, or sailing yachts for a classic sailing experience. On day tours the captain and crew are usually included, while food, drinks and extra services are stated clearly in the offer according to the boat and package.

The season usually runs from May to the end of October; July and August are the busiest, while May, June and September are the most peaceful.
