The favorable sailing conditions backed by a series of efficient marinas ensure that sailors of every level are catered for. This in-depth dive into Turkey's allure as a destination for yacht vacations will guide you on an insightful journey, offering tips, and highlighting crucial aspects of a sailing holiday in this mesmerizing region.
With its stunning coastline, vivid cultural blend, traditional hospitality, and gastronomic splendor, experiencing Turkey from the deck of a yacht is like living a dream.

Turkey is a globally connected country with several major airports, including Istanbul Airport and Antalya Airport, catering to numerous domestic and international flights. Boat and cruise ferries are also available if you are arriving from nearby countries.
Turkey offers a plethora of routes for sailors. Starting with the bustling Bodrum which is popular for weekly charters to quieter yachting heavens like Gocek and Fethiye. The lucid Turquoise coast (Blue Voyage) with iconic destinations like Kas, Kalkan and Kekova, are a must in any sailor’s diary.
The best time to visit Turkey for sailing is between May and October. Tourist crowds are less during this period and the sailing conditions are also favorable. Don’t miss the vibrant Bodrum Sea Festival, held during August.
Turkey experiences moderate Mediterranean weather perfect for sailing activities. Mild winds, ample sunshine, and a small chance of rainfall make it ideal for both sailing and relaxation. The seas are calm, clear, and inviting, perfect for a yacht vacation in Turkey.
History buffs can start their journey from Ephesus, one of the ancient Roman cities, and move towards Troy, famous for the Trojan war. Don’t miss the ancient theater in Aspendos. Explore local markets, try local cuisines, and participate in customary celebrations whenever possible.
Bathing in a hot spring in Pamukkale, visiting the stone houses of Cappadocia, exploring the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and adventurous water sports in the Aegean Sea are among the top outdoor activities to witness during your yacht vacation in Turkey. Don’t forget to try local delicacies in local eateries.
The best marinas in Turkey include Palmarina in Bodrum, Antalya Marina, and Alacati Marina. For peaceful and secure anchorage, Cold Water Bay in Oludeniz and Wall Bay in Gocek are perfect, offering stunning landscapes, calm waters, and overnight accommodation facilities.
Chartering a holiday yacht in Turkey with a skipper lets you relax and enjoy the journey while the experienced captain navigates the beautiful coastal landscapes. Bareboat chartering is an option for more experienced sailors who enjoy the independence of creating their own course.
Renting a yacht with a crew opens up a whole new world of personalized luxury on your sailing holiday in Turkey. Crewed charters allow you to experience the local culture and cuisines, secret coves and the best mooring spots chosen by those who know the region best.
For bareboat charters, an internationally recognized sailing certificate along with VHF certification is necessary. However, no specific license is required if you are chartering a yacht with a skipper.
Packing for a yacht vacation in Turkey should include lightweight clothing, swimwear, a good sunblock, hats and sunglasses. Don’t forget to bring along your sailing license and VHF certification if you are planning on chartering the boat without a skipper.

ekne son derece bakımlı ve temizdi. Donanımları tam ve çalışır durumdaydı, seyir esnasında hiçbir sorun yaşamadık. Kullanımı kolay ve güvenli bir teknede, huzurlu bir tatil geçirdik. Tekneyi teslim aldığımızda tüm detaylar eksiksizdi. Keyifli bir deniz tatili için ideal. Tekne sahibi oldukça profesyonel ve ilgiliydi. Teslim öncesi ve sonrası her konuda yardımcı oldu. İletişimi açık, hızlı ve çözüm odaklıydı. Tüm sorularımıza sabırla yanıt verdi, kiralama sürecini sorunsuz geçirdik. Kendisiyle tekrar çalışmak isterim.

Adil Bey'den, Adil Kaptan'dan Adil Abi'ye geçiş en fazla 5 dakika. Adil Abi farklı hayat bakış olan her anlam "kafa" bir abimiz. İnsani ilişkileri çok iyi. Teknesi de kendisi gibi düzgün. Her şey yerli yerinde ve olması gereken şekilde. Rotayı kendisine bırakın keyfinize bakın. Varsa denizcilik merakınız o anlamda da tatmin olacaksınızdır. Hava şartlarından dolayı kısmetimizde balık yokmuş. Lakin kalçalı (tavuk) but ve salçalı yemeklerde de oldukça mahir Adil abi. Ev yapımı şalgamı ile birlikte çok güzel yemekler yedik, sohbetler ettik, anılar biriktirdik.. Bozukkale'de alargada geçirdiğimiz gece hatıralar arasında silinmeyecek bir yer aldı :) Dayının idolü oldun abi. Selamlar..

Adil Kaptan ile yapılan seyahat anlatılmaz, yaşanır! Tekne güzel, titizliği nedeniyle her yer tertemiz, donanımlı ve her açıdan yeterli. Birçok eğlence ekipmanına sahip. Ben gözlük ve palet kullandım. Kızlarım paddleboard kullandı. Kendisi denizcilik konusunda çok tecrübeli ve güvenliğe çok önem veriyor. Rotayı Adil Kaptan'a bıraktık, iyi ki de öyle yapmışız. Gitiğimiz koylar birbirinden güzel, temiz, doğa harikası, sessiz kısaca mükemmeldi. Yüzmeye, çeşit çeşit balıkları seyretmeye ve fotoğraflamaya doyamadık. Gece konaklamaları çok rahattı. Bazı konaklamalarda tekne dışında yemek de dahil her imkana ulaşım vardı. Adil Kaptan bize ilk günden başlayıp, son gün arabamızla uğurlayana kadar sanki teknesinde misafir ediyormuş, ağırlıyormuş hissi yaşattı. Akşam yemek sohbetlerimiz çok çok keyifliydi. Hele Adil Bey'in yaptığı yemek enfesti. Bu sene programımız nedeniyle 3 gece oldu ama gelecek sene daha uzun yaparız inşallah! Bize yaşattığı bu keyifli seyahat için kendisine çok teşekkür ederiz.

Umarız kaptan Ahmet bey, aşçımız Suzan abla ve yardımcı ekiple yine denk geliriz. Hepsi çok profesyoneldi, her şey için teşekkür ederiz 🙏
