Share your group's preferences with us, and we'll create a programme perfectly matched to your pace with our experienced captains who know the region well.
Which Routes Can a Bodrum Yacht Charter Include?
Yacht charter itineraries from Bodrum may take in the Gökova Körfezi, the northern coast towards Türkbükü and Gümüşlük, the southern peninsula towards Knidos, or the Greek island of Kos. A classic one-week itinerary usually begins in the sheltered bays of Gökova Körfezi, from where you can visit Cleopatra Beach on Sedir Adası and watch the sunset at the ancient city of Knidos.

Which Yacht Type Is Suitable for a Bodrum Charter?
Choosing the right yacht for your Bodrum charter is about matching the vessel to your group and how you want to spend your time on the water. Your guest count, cabin needs, deck preferences, and the route you wish to follow all play a role. As Blue More Yachting, we bring these together with your itinerary to recommend the yachts best suited to you.
For those who enjoy outdoor dining and unhurried days on deck, a gulet charter in Bodrum offers a natural fit. If your itinerary involves greater distances or you prefer a faster pace, motor yachts reduce travel time between destinations. Features such as air-conditioning, stabilisers, and water sports equipment also vary by yacht and should be reviewed against each vessel's current specifications before you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
The charter season generally runs from May until the end of October. July and August bring the highest average temperatures and the fewest rainy days, making these months Bodrum's busiest period for which we recommend reservations four to six months in advance. Early June and September are particularly favourable; the sea is perfect for swimming, and marinas and bays remain relatively calm. May and October are cooler but quieter, ideal for nature walks and those seeking a more peaceful experience.
Bodrum stands out for its rich variety of yacht types and routes. From traditional gulets to modern motor yachts, the region offers something for every group. The peninsula is dotted with ancient ruins, thermal waters, and secluded bays, while the nearby Greek island of Kos adds an international dimension to your itinerary. This blend of history, nature, and cosmopolitan energy makes Bodrum a truly distinctive charter base.
We operate with a minimum charter period of one week. The places included depend on the selected yacht, cruising times, and how long you wish to spend at each stop. For those wishing to explore further, longer charters can be arranged to include more distant destinations.
Gulets are traditionally designed with sails, though most charter passages are completed primarily under engine. Sails may be set when wind and sea conditions allow, offering a more traditional experience when the opportunity arises. The cruising pace is relaxed, allowing you to fully absorb the scenery; this is the essence of a gulet holiday in Bodrum.
The yacht, professional staff, and basic equipment are included in the charter fee. Staff numbers and responsibilities vary by yacht. Any other inclusions are specified in the quotation and charter agreement. We clarify everything in advance so you know exactly what to expect.
These expenses are calculated separately according to the yacht type and itinerary. Payment may be handled through APA or another payment arrangement stated in the quotation. We provide a full breakdown of all costs before you book.
APA is an advance budget for fuel, food and drinks, marina fees, and other variable expenses. An itemised account is provided at the end of the charter, and any unused balance is refunded. Additional payment may be required if expenditure exceeds the available budget. This system ensures transparency throughout your charter.
The itinerary can be planned around the time you wish to spend in the bays, visits ashore, and your preferred cruising schedule. The captain may update the programme according to weather, sea, anchorage, and mooring conditions, ensuring your comfort and safety at all times.
Milas-Bodrum Airport is the most convenient gateway, approximately 35 km (35 minutes) from Bodrum's marinas. We can coordinate transfers and catering according to your flight details and embarkation point. Please note that these services are not automatically included in the charter fee; the scope and cost should be confirmed before booking.
Guests must hold the required travel documents and, where applicable, a valid visa. Requirements may vary depending on nationality and passport type, so they should be verified well before the charter.
