Yacht Charter Prices Turkey | Hourly, Daily and Weekly Guide

Direct answer

What should you expect to pay?

Yacht charter prices in Turkey vary by city, yacht type, season and duration. Istanbul short Bosphorus programs are often hourly. Bodrum, Gocek, Fethiye and Marmaris are often day or week based, especially for gulets and blue cruises.

Best value months

May, early June, September and October often offer stronger value than July and August. Peak weekends and national holidays should be requested early.

Prices by yacht type

Type matters as much as location. A gulet and a motor yacht can serve very different trips.

Motor yacht

Often best for Istanbul events, VIP day charters and fast coastal programs. Expect higher hourly or daily pricing for premium models, larger capacity and stronger service.

Gulet

Best for Bodrum, Marmaris and Fethiye blue cruises. Weekly pricing depends on cabin count, crew, chef service, season and route.

Catamaran

Strong for Gocek and family bay routes. Pricing is usually day or week based and depends on skipper, provisioning and marina plan.

Usually included

Yacht use, captain, basic crew, standard route, basic onboard setup and boarding coordination are commonly included.

Usually extra

Food, alcohol, cake, decoration, transfers, photographer, live music, extra route distance, premium marina fees and special toys can be extra.

Price factors

Date, season, group size, route distance, yacht age, brand, fuel, crew level, menus and event setup all change the quote.

Hourly, daily and weekly pricing

The pricing model changes by destination and trip style.

Pricing model	Common cities	Best for	Watch for
Hourly	Istanbul, selected Antalya or Alanya programs	Proposals, dinners, birthdays, sunset cruises	Minimum charter hours, decoration time, route limits
Daily	Bodrum, Gocek, Fethiye, Marmaris, Antalya	Bay hopping, swimming, beach clubs, family days	Fuel, lunch, marina fees, transfer timing
Weekly	Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Gocek	Gulet blue cruises and cabin-based holidays	Provisioning, APA, crew, route distance, peak season

Example: Istanbul proposal

A 2-hour Bosphorus proposal can start with yacht rental, basic route and crew. Flowers, photographer, table setup, cake and private transfer can change the final quote.

Example: Bodrum gulet day

A Bodrum day gulet quote may include crew and standard route, while food, drinks, premium bays, extra fuel or late return may be separate.

Example: Fethiye blue cruise

A weekly Fethiye gulet plan should clarify cabin count, food provisioning, crew, marina fees, route, air conditioning rules and cancellation terms.

Private yacht prices in Turkey can start from a few hundred euros for short programs and reach tens of thousands of euros for premium weekly charters. The final price depends on city, yacht size, season, route, crew, food and fuel.

Istanbul is often priced hourly for Bosphorus cruises, proposals, dinners and events. Full-day pricing may apply for longer programs or larger yachts.

Sometimes basic soft drinks are included, but menus, alcohol, chef service, cake and special dining are usually quoted separately.

Weekly gulets have high demand in July and August. Cabin count, crew, route, provisioning, fuel and marina fees also affect the final price.

Send date, city, guest count, duration, yacht type, route and extras. The concierge can then check realistic availability and final terms.

Season, yacht size, route distance, fuel, crew level, food, marina fees, event setup and booking urgency usually change the price most.

Usually yes in Istanbul and some event destinations, but premium yachts may still have a minimum charter price.

For swim routes and coastal cities, full-day pricing can be better value than extending hourly programs.

Many Bodrum gulets are designed for blue cruises with cabins, crew and provisioning, so weekly pricing is common in summer.

Short standard routes often include standard fuel, while longer routes, islands, Greek crossings or custom itineraries may add fuel costs.

Home marina costs may be included, but premium marinas, overnight stops or route-specific port fees can be extra.

Some yachts allow outside food and drinks; others require onboard catering. This should be confirmed before booking.

Weekend and sunset slots are often more expensive or harder to secure, especially from June to September.

Last-minute value can happen when a yacht has unsold availability, but choice is narrower and event extras may be harder to arrange.

Tax treatment depends on operator and invoice structure. Ask whether the quoted price includes taxes and service charges.

Deposit amounts vary by yacht and season. Weekly charters often require stronger deposit terms than short hourly cruises.

Payment methods depend on operator. Confirm card, transfer, cash balance or deposit link options before accepting the offer.

Age, refit quality, crew, marina, route efficiency, brand, layout and service level can change pricing even when capacity looks similar.

Value depends on date and route. Didim, Kusadasi, Alanya and some Antalya programs can be more accessible than premium Bodrum or Istanbul event yachts.
