Bodrum is the seaside city of lights, one of the most popular harbors to embark on a Turkish yacht charter Mediterranean holiday, and the origin of the famous Turkish blue cruise.
These beautiful Mediterranean yacht holidays begin in the Aegean and take place on board elegantly handcrafted Turkish gulets. They come in all different sizes, level of quality, classic or modern decor, and suit just about every holiday budget.
Starting your gulet cruises from Bodrum means that you have a abundance of itineraries to choose from – and if these routes are not what you are looking for, then you can design your own too, with the help of your yacht charter agent.
From the Aegean, travelers can visit the many beautiful and charming Greek Islands and cruise in Turkey all the way to the Eastern Mediterranean region of Antalya and further south to the Cretian islands in Greece. But one must keep in mind that Turkish yacht charters travel up to 4 hours a day. Therefore longer distances mean, longer holiday time to complete the journey – particularly if sailing plays an important role in your travels.
So if your heart is set on a Turkish yacht charter in the Mediterranean, Bodrum is an exciting place to start – since the airport is only 40 minutes away!
We’d like to show our point with an example.
We’d like to introduce you to the Deluxe class Kaptan Mehmet Bugra gulet, a 34-meter-long custom-built Turkish gulet with 8 cabins and a capacity of 18 passengers. This Deluxe class Turkish gulet, built at Bozburun shipyards using traditional construction methods, can also take you to the Greek islands.
She can accommodate up to 18 passengers in total. All cabins include a shower, bathroom, hair dryer, television, and air conditioning. During your vacation, you will be served by 6 experienced crew members. These sailors not only perform nautical responsibilities in harsh sea, weather, and boat conditions, but they also give services to their guests that go beyond the comforts of a hotel. It’s not an easy work, but we can say it’s quite enjoyable for crew.
This lovely multi-family group gulet not only takes Bodrum port departure trips, but also those from Marmaris, Fethiye, Gocek, and Bozburun. We have wonderful news for you if you want to visit the Greek islands with the Kaptan Mehmet Bugra gulet, you can explore the South Dodecanese, North Dodecanese, or, for 2-week cruises, the Cyclades islands, Santorini, and Mykonos islands.
