The Turkish Riviera is the Mediterranean’s best-value blue water, and Bodrum is its capital: gulet weeks along the Gökova gulf, day boats to beach clubs, and Yalıkavak’s superyacht marina anchoring the scene.
*High-season guide for a 20–25 m day boat, plus fuel and APA — your dates quoted exactly.
The gulet week
Bodrum is the home of the gulet — the traditional wooden sailer, crewed and
cooked-for, that makes a Turkish coast week feel unlike anywhere else on this list.
Gökova’s pine-backed coves, English Harbour, Cleopatra Island: slow water,
long lunches, spectacular value against the French coast.
Days from Yalıkavak
Day boats run the peninsula: a swim off Kissebükü, lunch at
Maçakızı by tender — the island
of the Bodrum summer — and back for the night at
Billionaire or
Xuma.
How much does yacht hire in Bodrum cost?
High-season guide for a 20–25 m day boat: €5,000–9,000 a day plus fuel and APA. Larger yachts and full weeks are quoted per itinerary — one clear figure, with berthing, fuel and crew gratuity itemised before you commit.
Are the boats crewed?
Always — skipper and crew as standard, chef and hostess on the larger boats. You step on and off; everything in between is handled.
Can you book the tables and beach clubs around the boat?
That is the point of one desk: the daybeds, lunches and nights around your Bodrum charter are held by the same concierge that books the boat — see the venues we cover and ask for the day as one plan.
