Sailing through the beautiful bays and islands of Türkiye is an unparalleled delight. Private yacht tours are highly preferred if you wish to explore the natural feast for the eyes. Either as a small or a large group of friends, you can rent a boat of your choice and have a luxurious trip through the bays. Here are the answers to the questions that you might have:

1. Gulets or Yachts?

Gulet or motor yacht preferences must be selected according to the likes of the guests. Motor yachts are most suitable for groups of 2-8, who prefer short, 2- 3 night tours to make the best of their weekends; gulet type boats are better for groups of 6-16, who are considering weekly rentals.

2. Which bays should you travel to?

The decision of which bay to go to might be left entirely to the yacht’s captain after the guests have declared their wishes to the captain. However, if the guest groups have a path in mind and are more detail-oriented, their desired route will be taken. The most crucial point here is to determine the starting and ending points of the tour.

Your tour can begin from different regions of Türkiye. Each one has its own famous bays and islands. For example, it is a must to visit Yassıca Islands, Martı Bay, Hamam Bay and Bedri Rahmi Bay in tours that begin from Göcek. There are also luxury yacht charter Bodrum and luxury yacht charter Türkiye in general. If your tour starts from Kaş, Antalya, you should definitely visit Kekova; take a look at the yacht charter in Antalya.

If guests are unsure of what they want to do, once they decide on the starting point of the tour, they can visit the most popular bays of that area.

3. When is the best time to tour?

While all seasons have their beauty, the yachting season starts at the beginning of April and lasts until the end of November. For those who prefer tranquillity and staying away from the hot weather, spring and fall is the optimal choice, whereas, for summer lovers, the summer season will be the best option. According to our taste, May, September, and October usually make for the most enjoyable times of the season.

4. Gulet’s top features

Even though they are not common, there are gulets on the market that have the capacity to host up to 30 guests.

7. Seasickness

Unfortunately, whether or not you will be seasick is only possible to know through experience. Seasickness differs from person to person, and sometimes people get seasick after some time on the tour. However, on a short route through safe bays, seasickness is rarely experienced.

8. What should I bring with me for the Yacht Tour?

The guests should primarily opt for small or medium-sized luggage that will not clutter the cabin. Pack some light clothing and personal hygiene products. Aside from those, you can take any other personal belongings you will need during the tour.
