Why Americans Choose Turkey for Yacht Holidays
Turkey’s Mediterranean climate stretches from May to November, offering a long and sunny charter season. In addition to the great weather, travelers love the country’s delicious food and warm hospitality. Luxury gulets and motor yachts also cost less here than in many parts of Europe, making it a smart choice.
What’s more, most crews speak English and provide concierge-style service. Reaching Turkey is also easy thanks to direct flights to Bodrum, Dalaman, and Antalya via major European cities.
What You Get with Your Charter
You’ll enjoy full private access to the yacht—no shared spaces. A skilled crew, fluent in English, takes care of everything on board. Plus, meals are included and feature both local and international dishes. Each day brings new destinations, with stops for swimming, exploring islands, or visiting ancient sites. To make your stay more comfortable, most yachts come with Wi-Fi, water sports gear, and air conditioning.
