Yacht Rental in Turkey

Due to its unique geographical location, Turkey is a cultural melting pot that sits at the crossroads of the Balkans, Caucasus, Mediterranean and the Middle East. It also straddles two continents and when you visit, you’ll see influences from both European and Asian cultures sprinkled throughout. Sail along the Turkish coastline in a yacht rental and see the ancient sites peppered throughout, as well as an abundance of natural beauty like sprawling pine-covered hills and sandy beaches. There are so many nautical hotspots to visit on the way; from Antalya to Bodrum you’ll be bombarded with an array of beautiful bays and coves just waiting to be explored. Experience a rich culture, some of the oldest archaeological sites in the world and a universe of unspoilt beauty while on a yacht rental in Turkey!

What is the best time of year to rent a yacht inTurkey?

For the warmest weather with the least amount of precipitation, you should embark on a yacht charter in Turkey between May and October. During this time you’ll have highs of 30°C in the month of July, or an average of 18°C throughout the other months. Be aware that this is the high season for sailing in Turkey so if you want to avoid higher prices on yacht rentals and you don’t mind slightly cooler weather, we recommend visiting at the tail ends of high season in either May or October.

Should you charter a yacht in Turkey with a skipper or crew?

For the most relaxed and worry-free sailing holiday, we recommend a yacht rental in Turkey with a skipper on board. Skippers will help you create a sailing itinerary to see all of the best sights in the country, and they will even take you to see hidden gems that you won’t find on travel websites. You won’t have to do anything but relax on board while your skipper navigates, docks and moors the vessel for you. If you have a sailing licence and you prefer to be the captain of your boat, we also have a range of bareboat charters available in Turkey. But for a more all-inclusive and personalised sailing excursion, choose a vessel with a skipper!
