Yacht Charter Turkey

A bridge between east and west, it is genuinely laden with natural and man-made treasures waiting for you to find them. Bodrum is one of the most popular yachting hubs on the western shore on Turkey yacht charters. Boasting a cosmopolitan character with a trendy bohemian vibe, its nightlife now gives St. Tropez and Ibiza a run for their money. Added to this is its strategic coastal position and Bodrum is the ideal place to begin or end a yacht rental.
Cruising south and east along this profoundly indented coastline, the landscape is more and more verdant the further you go. You’ll be in awe- as the towering Taurus Mountains rise behind the bays and pine-forest inlets crowd down to the shoreline, providing perfect sheltered anchorages.

From the stunning lagoon of Ölü Deniz (closed to yachts but accessible by kayak) to the twelve islands with their bays and inlets, the whole coast is dotted with gem-like anchorages and sleepy villages. But it’s not all peaceful; the bustling ports of Fethiye, Kalkan and Kas have plenty of bars and restaurants with something for every taste.
Promising more history, culture and scenic anchorages than any yachtsman could hope for, the Turquoise Coast is a magical destination for a superyacht charter.
