Top 10 Luxury Yachts & Gulets to Charter in Turkey

Best for: Luxury amenities, families and an exceptional all-round charter

OTTAWA IV is one of the most complete yachts in this selection.

The 39m tri-deck motor yacht operates in Greece and Turkey and accommodates up to 12 guests across five cabins. Her layout includes a full-beam master suite, two VIP cabins and two twin cabins, with one of the twins incorporating additional bunk beds.

Her outdoor amenities make her particularly compelling.

A pool on the sun deck provides a major focal point when the yacht is at anchor, while a large lifting swim platform gives guests easy access to the water.

There is also an excellent selection of toys, including a SeaBob, kayak, paddleboard, wakeboard, waterslide, waterskis, snorkeling equipment and towables.

The tri-deck configuration creates plenty of separate areas for dining, relaxing and sunbathing, making OTTAWA IV suitable for families and larger groups who want space to spread out.

Why choose OTTAWA IV: She offers one of the strongest combinations of accommodation, outdoor space, water toys and resort-style amenities in the group.

Best for: Contemporary Turkish cruising and larger groups

DEEP WATER is a strong choice for guests who want a newer motor yacht.

Built in 2022, the 40m yacht operates exclusively in Turkey and is based in Bodrum. Her cruising area includes Göcek, Marmaris and Bodrum.

She accommodates up to 12 guests in six ensuite cabins, including two master cabins, three doubles and one twin.

The two-master configuration is particularly useful for two families travelling together or groups where more than one couple expects principal-level accommodation.

Her relatively recent build also gives DEEP WATER a more contemporary feel than many traditional Turkish charter yachts.

Why choose DEEP WATER: She is particularly well suited to groups wanting a newer 40m yacht, six cabins and a Turkey-focused itinerary from Bodrum.

Best for: Elegant sailing and sophisticated Turkish Riviera cruising

TIGRA combines traditional sailing character with a polished luxury-yacht experience.

The 38m steel-hulled sailing yacht was built by Mastori Yachts in Bodrum and refitted in 2020. She operates in Turkey, Greece and the Aegean and accommodates up to 10 guests in five cabins.

The accommodation includes a master suite, VIP, double and two twin cabins, making the layout suitable for both families and groups of friends.

Her large decks and hydraulic swim platform are major advantages during long days at anchor.

TIGRA also carries an impressive selection of equipment including a kayak, paddleboard, wakeboard, waterskis, snorkeling gear, fishing equipment and towables, supported by a 5.5m RIB tender.

Inside, entertainment includes Wi-Fi, satellite television, a Bose sound system and board games.

Why choose TIGRA: She combines authentic sailing with modern comforts and a strong selection of water toys, making her one of the best-balanced sailing yachts in the group.

Best for: A modern luxury gulet experience

BABYLON is a strong example of how far the traditional Turkish gulet has evolved.

The 41m yacht cruises extensively along the Turkish coast between Bodrum, Bozburun, Marmaris, Göcek, Fethiye and Kekova, as well as parts of the Greek Dodecanese.

She offers five cabins, including a master, VIP and three double cabins, and is particularly suited to families or groups travelling together.

Her supplied description emphasizes spacious furnishings, generous seating and strong leisure facilities, while a professional crew provides the personalized service expected from a luxury charter.

Originally built in 2015 and refitted in 2022, BABYLON balances the atmosphere of a traditional gulet with a more contemporary onboard experience.

Why choose BABYLON: She is ideal for guests who want the spacious decks and relaxed character of a gulet without sacrificing modern luxury.

Best for: Classic motor-yacht cruising from Bodrum

CROCUS is a 42m motor yacht operating exclusively in Turkey.

Based in Bodrum, she cruises between Bodrum, Marmaris and Göcek and accommodates 12 guests across six cabins.

Her accommodation includes a master cabin, VIP, multiple double cabins and a twin, giving groups useful flexibility.

The yacht was refitted in 2019 and includes air conditioning, internet and teak deck areas.

Her water-toy collection is another strength, with a Jet Ski, kayak, wakeboard, Banana, towables and snorkeling equipment.

CROCUS also benefits from an experienced captain with decades in Turkish yachting and extensive familiarity with local cruising grounds.

Why choose CROCUS: She offers a straightforward six-cabin luxury motor-yacht experience with strong local knowledge and good watersports capability.

Best for: Very large groups wanting a traditional Turkish gulet

BOREAS is unlike most yachts in this list because of her capacity.

The 43m luxury gulet operates along the Turkish coast and Greek Dodecanese and can accommodate up to 36 guests across 16 cabins.

That makes her particularly attractive for large family gatherings, celebrations, corporate groups or several families travelling together.

Her cabin configuration includes double, triple and single options, giving organizers far more flexibility than a conventional charter yacht.

BOREAS underwent a refit in 2023 and is specifically positioned as a vessel suited to families and multiple small groups travelling together.

Why choose BOREAS: Her huge guest capacity is the defining feature. Very few yachts allow a group of several dozen people to cruise Turkey together on one vessel.

Best for: Authentic sailing and smaller private groups

TANGO CHARLIE is a more intimate alternative to the larger vessels above.

The 26m sailing yacht operates exclusively in Turkey from Bodrum and accommodates eight guests in four cabins. She was refitted in 2026.

Her spacious aft master cabin is separated from the forward accommodation, while panoramic views from the decks enhance the feeling of being connected to the coastline.

She also offers genuine sailing performance, making her attractive to guests who want the yacht to sail rather than simply motor between anchorages.

Water toys include canoes, paddleboards, adult and children's waterskis, wakeboard, snorkeling equipment and fishing gear.

The experienced captain knows the Turkish coast extensively, while the onboard chef specializes in Mediterranean cuisine, breads, pastries and desserts.

Why choose TANGO CHARLIE: She is ideal for smaller groups who prioritize authentic sailing, local crew expertise and a more intimate charter atmosphere.

Best for: Traditional craftsmanship and character

PAREA offers something very different from a modern motor yacht.

The 28m wooden motor sailer was custom-built in Greece using traditional craftsmanship and operates in both Greece and Turkey. She underwent a refit in 2025.

She accommodates up to 12 guests across five cabins, with a layout that includes a master, triple cabin, double cabin with Pullman berth and additional doubles.

Her design incorporates a full-length keel and was specifically engineered for solid seakeeping and maneuverability.

PAREA is particularly appealing to guests who value character and craftsmanship over the polished uniformity of a newer production yacht.

Why choose PAREA: She delivers a more distinctive and traditional Mediterranean sailing experience while still providing comfortable luxury accommodation.

Best for: Modern catamaran-style space and relaxed sailing

NAMASTE is the only true catamaran in this selection.

The 18.78m Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 was built in 2021 and accommodates eight guests across four cabins. Her design is particularly focused on generous social spaces.

She offers a 27.5m² cockpit, approximately 30m² flybridge, a large foredeck and spacious interior living areas.

Accommodation includes a large master cabin, two queen cabins and a twin cabin with bunk beds and direct access to the deck.

For guests who want the stability, width and outdoor living associated with a modern sailing catamaran, NAMASTE is the obvious choice from this group.

Why choose NAMASTE: She provides a completely different experience from Turkey's gulets and motor yachts, emphasizing wide decks, spacious social areas and relaxed sailing.

Best for: Exceptionally large groups and cabin-charter style cruising

PANORAMA is another highly unusual yacht.

At 54m, she accommodates up to 49 guests across 24 cabins and carries a crew of up to 17.

This makes her far closer to a boutique sailing vessel or small private cruise ship than a conventional charter yacht.

For major celebrations, large family groups or organized private parties, that extraordinary accommodation capacity can be a major advantage.

Onboard amenities include air conditioning, satellite television, Wi-Fi and BBQ facilities, while children aged six and above are permitted according to the supplied file.

Why choose PANORAMA: She stands out primarily for scale. Very few sailing yachts can accommodate nearly 50 guests together.
