Should you decide on a yacht charter in Turkey, you might like to start from the charming town of Gocek. Gocek is a mere 20 minutes from the Dalaman International airport and one of the prime locations to embark from on a gulet cruise holiday. There are many itinerary choices when starting from Gocek town. One of the routes can take you along the Carian coast for a week, all the way up to the delightful city of Marmaris. However should you wish to travel even further, you could continue your Carian blue cruises past the Datca peninsula and either anchor in the Bodrum harbor or anyone of the lovely private bays nearby.

Of course you do not necessarily have to rent a gulet to experience this amazing coastline. There are many other types of vessels such as motor yacht charters in Turkey.  The only real difference is the vessel – while the yachting destinations remain the same.  Just about all itineraries are suitable for these other Turkish boat charters.

In addition to Gocek port, other places to start your Turkish yacht charter vacation is from Fethiye, Marmaris or Bodrum. All are within very reasonable distance from the airport. So you are not spending a great deal of time on the road to board your yacht rental.
