Luxury Yacht Charter in Bodrum
Whitewashed hillsides, sheltered coves and a proud boatbuilding tradition — Bodrum is the Turkish Aegean at its most refined.
A Turkish Aegean Perspective
Bodrum by Yacht
The Bodrum peninsula curves into the Aegean with a coastline of bays and small harbours, from Yalıkavak to Türkbükü and Gümbet. A Bodrum yacht charter explores these quickly and comfortably.
The region is closely associated with the gulet, a traditional wooden vessel. Alongside gulets, charters include modern motor yachts and catamarans for different paces and group sizes.
Depending on the provider and conditions, day itineraries may visit bays around the peninsula or nearby islets. Routes are never guaranteed and should be confirmed in advance.
