Your private Turkey yacht charter

From fashionable resorts and modern marinas to heavenly white-sand beaches, secret sailing coves and ancient ruins, many only accessible by sea, the Turkish Riviera is the Mediterranean at its most exotic.

Savour fresh meze and grilled seafood in the al fresco restaurants of Bodrum, wander around the vibrant bazaar at the flamboyant resort of Fethiye, and explore the narrow cobbled streets of Antalya as part of your carefully curated Turkey charter itinerary. Whether you're planning a week-long charter or a longer voyage, renting a superyacht in Turkey offers pristine waters, abundant marine life (think dolphins and sea turtles), and an unforgettable blend of culture, cuisine, and coastal beauty that will leave you wanting more.

Kaunos Tombs of the Kings
These tombs, chiselled into the rockside, are a spectacular sight and definitely worth visiting during your private yacht charter to Turkey. They are visible from miles around or you can walk to the entrance of the main site in Dalyan.

Letoon
Discovered in 1840, the ruined Lycian city of Letoon is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Easily accessible via yacht rental from Fethiye, this ancient sanctuary – with its temples, intricate carvings, and lush vegetation teeming with terrapins and frogs – offers a captivating glimpse into Turkey’s mythological past.

Olu Deniz
Anchoring off Olu Deniz during your private yacht charter in Turkey gives you the chance to enjoy the beautiful crystal-clear waters. You’ll also be able to visit Butterfly Valley by tender, a nature reserve with a secluded bay.

Gemiler Island
Known as the birthplace of Saint Nicholas (Father Christmas), this historical island is full of archeological ruins, including four Byzantine churches. The name translates as 'Boat Island' as is a must see during your Turkey yacht charter.

Akyarlar Bay
Located on the eastern point of the Bodrum Peninsula, anchoring in Akyarlar Bay in Turgutreis offers you the perfect place to step away from the tourist areas and enjoy the ‘Turquoise Coast’ of Turkey in its full glory.

Bar Street
No yacht charter in Turkey would be complete without a visit to Bar Street in Bodrum, a mile-long street flooded with clubs and bars.
map pinBodrum
Soho Club
A must-visit, with special DJs, shows, and dance events, there’s no better location for a night out in Turkey.

Jade Beach Club
One of the most popular beaches in Kusadasi, the Jade Beach club offers you a bar, restaurant, and nightclub all rolled into one. If you’re anchoring near Yilanci Bay, this is one location not to be missed.

Club Budha Bar
Any yacht charter in Marmaris, Turkey must include a night at Club Budha where you can sing, dance, and drink the night away to live music from local and international artists.

Iztuzu Beach
After cruising up the Dalyan River to see the ancient Lycian tombs carved into the cliffs, head to the therapeutic mud baths of Kaunos. The next stop is the environmentally protected Iztuzu Beach, also known as Turtle Beach because loggerhead turtles head here every year to lay their eggs.
map pinDalyan
Olu Deniz
This must be Turkey's most iconic beach, the picture-postcard image of the country's Turquoise Coast. A stunning arc of fine pebbles ends in glorious white sand at the entrance to the blue lagoon. Fancy some thrills? It's a fantastic place to go paragliding too.
map pinFethiye
Butterfly Valley
A beautiful sandy beach tucked away at the end of a valley in Fethive and surrounded by scrub-lined cliffs. As the name suggests, this place is home to roughly 100 species of butterfly.
map pinFethiye
Olympos Beach
When anchored off this kilometre-long pebble beach near the ancient town of Olympos aboard your private yacht in Antalya, be sure to visit the famous chimera – an eternal flame that mysteriously burns from the rocky hillside above. Olympos Beach is also a protected nesting ground for loggerhead turtles, adding a rare natural wonder to this already enchanting stop.
map pinAntalya
Patara Beach
At 19 kilometres, this is Turkey's longest beach, a vast stretch of golden sand almost completely undeveloped thanks to its protected status as a nesting beach for loggerhead turtles. Inshore towards the southern end are the well-preserved ruins of the ancient Lycian city of Patara.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best time of year for a luxury yacht charter in Turkey?

The ideal charter season in Turkey runs from May until October. Renting a superyacht in July and August will give you the chance to enjoy peak sunshine and social opportunities, while May, June, and September offer the chance to experience quieter but still luxurious escapes.

How does chartering in Turkey compare to the Mediterranean charter destinations like the South of France or Amalfi Coast?

While a private yacht charter in the French Riviera or the Amalfi coast offers a wealth of opportunities, renting a superyacht in Turkey gives you the chance to explore one of the quieter parts of the Mediterranean and discover its rich cultural history at your own pace.

I've never chartered before, where do I start?

To get started, one of our brokers will ask you questions, like how many people you want to bring aboard, whether you know where you want to go and what you want to do. From sailing to motor, catamaran to explorer – we’ll shortlist yachts of a style, size and capability that match your preferences and suggest bucket-list cruising grounds.

How many guests can be on board?
The majority of yachts can cruise with 8-12 guests, depending on their length. For bigger parties, some yachts built to the Passenger Yacht Code (PYC) can carry up to 36 guests – these yachts are usually above 80m (260ft) long. For events, yachts can have more people on board provided they stay in port.
Why do I need a charter broker? Why can’t I book direct?

Planning the perfect charter requires specialist knowledge, trusted contacts on board and on the ground, as well as first-hand knowledge of yachts, crews and locations, as well as legal contracts and local regulations to build an experience that suits you perfectly. Another reason to choose a broker is that sometimes there can be unforeseen issues with yachts or destinations and having an experienced broker to protect your interests and build a plan B is hugely reassuring. 

Creating the unforgettable is what we do at Burgess. It’s what our knowledge, experience and passion are all about. We take all the hassle out of the planning so you can just turn up and have the best holiday ever.

I have a few allergies, how can I let the yacht know about these and also about my preferences?
A few weeks before your charter starts, we’ll send you a detailed questionnaire that lets us know the preferences and special requirements of everyone in your party. It will cover dietary and medical requirements, allergies and any special requests, birthdays or entertainment, for instance. This helps us and the crew of your yacht make sure your charter will be everything you hope it will be.
