Frequently Asked Questions
What is a yacht charter preference sheet, and why is it important?
A preference sheet is one of the most important documents before your Turkey yacht charter begins. It allows you to tell the crew everything they need to know in advance, including your favorite foods and drinks, dietary requirements, allergies, preferred daily schedule, water sports interests, and any birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions taking place during the trip.The more information you provide, the better the crew can personalize your charter. From stocking your favorite wines to planning special dinners and arranging activities, a detailed preference sheet helps transform a great vacation into a truly bespoke luxury experience.
Is Turkey a good destination for a first-time yacht charter?
Absolutely. Turkey is widely considered one of the best destinations for first-time charter guests thanks to its protected cruising grounds, short distances between anchorages, excellent marinas, and wide selection of crewed yachts. Most itineraries offer calm cruising conditions and a relaxed pace, making it easy to enjoy the experience without spending long hours at sea.Combined with outstanding hospitality, excellent cuisine, and exceptional value compared to many other Mediterranean destinations, Turkey is an ideal introduction to luxury yacht charters.
Can I start my yacht charter from any marina in Turkey?
Not always. Most yachts operate from a designated home port such as Bodrum, Göcek, Marmaris, or Fethiye. Depending on the yacht's booking schedule, relocation costs, and operational logistics, alternative embarkation ports may still be possible.If you have a preferred starting location, simply let us know. We will recommend suitable yachts and explore every practical option to make your itinerary work with minimal additional cost whenever possible.
Will I get seasick during a yacht charter in Turkey?
For most guests, seasickness is not an issue. The Turkish coastline offers many sheltered bays, protected gulfs, and relatively short cruising distances, allowing captains to plan comfortable routes with minimal exposure to open water.If you are particularly sensitive to motion, we can recommend larger, more stable yachts, adjust your itinerary where possible, and suggest simple precautions that help make your charter even more comfortable.
How far in advance should I book a yacht charter in Turkey?
The earlier, the better. The most desirable yachts and peak summer weeks, especially July and August, are often reserved many months in advance. Booking early gives you the widest choice of yachts, itineraries, and embarkation dates.Even if your travel plans are still flexible, an early inquiry allows us to discuss availability, estimated costs, and suitable yacht options without any obligation to book immediately.
What is included in the weekly charter price?
The weekly charter fee generally covers the yacht itself and the professional crew. Additional operating expenses, including food, beverages, fuel, marina fees, and other trip-related costs, are usually paid separately through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) or according to the yacht's specific pricing structure.Because inclusions can vary between yachts, we provide a full breakdown of expected costs before you book, ensuring there are no surprises when planning your budget.
Why should I book my Turkey yacht charter through a broker?
Booking through an experienced yacht charter broker does not usually cost you anything extra, as broker commissions are already built into standard charter pricing. Instead, you gain access to expert advice, independent yacht recommendations, and support throughout the entire booking process.A knowledgeable broker can help you compare hundreds of yachts, identify the best value, verify charter contracts, recommend the most suitable itinerary, and assist before, during, and after your charter, giving you peace of mind from start to finish.
