Boats
Motorsailer boats listed on Cruiseturkey are either
gulets
or ketch style wooden boasts except otherwise stated. Gulet, a typical Bodrum boat, has evolved in the last
two decades with newer
designs. Normally gulets have curved sterns closer to waterline. Ketch style boats have flat sterns and
they have spacious cabins at the back and the middle of the boat. At same length ketches have usually more
cabin space but modern gulets are built long enough to provide spacious cabins like the ketches.
Due to worldwide interest for their use as charter yachts, newer gulets are at least 20 meters (65 ft) in length,
up to 42 meters (137 ft) at the moment but boats currently under construction are pushing towards the 50 meters (152 feet). Gulets have large bodies (beams).
There are much less motor yachts in Turkey than Greece. The difference mainly lies with the fact that Turkish cruises
are done in mostly secluded small bays where boat speed in not particularly important in cruising. Contrast that to
the distances among Greek Islands a need for faster cruising will arise if you want to cover
a few islands spread across the Aegean thus more use of motor yachts in Greece.
Still there are gulets and motor sailers that can easily cruise in Greece with elegance and performance.
If you would like to charter a motor yacht please see
motoryachts in Greece as well.
You can make a search to find yachts. If after searching you did not find a yacht that would match
your price, group size or liking please Bid a Yacht.

Airport Transfers
Dalaman and Bodrum airports are the main airports serving the cruise area. Transfers are available in addition to these
two airports
Izmir and Antalya airports please see
Airport Transfers in Turkey
Yacht Charter Itineraries
There are many itineraries that could be followed during the cruise both in Turkey and Greece.
The most important considerations are the total duration of the yacht charter and your preferences
such as ancient ruins, sports activities including diving and whether you would like to stop in bigger
towns or simply follow an itinerary that would cover the coves. You can see a small sample of
Yacht Routes and Itineraries, please keep in mind
that many different itieraries can be developed.
Cruising Turkey and Greece
It is possible to charter yachts and do cruises that combine the Dodecanese islands (Rhodes, Cos, Patmos, etc.) and
Cyclades (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Amargos, etc.) Islands of Greece and The Turkish coasts.
Almost all boats listed on Cruiseturkey have airconditioning as stated on the boat details.
Some boats do provide 24 hour air conditioning while a few others will turn it off for a few hours
to cool off the engines.
Food on Board
Menus are ppad according to your needs icluding special dietary needs. Please inform your meal requirements
uponbooking. Normally the meals will be a combination of Turkish and coniinental dishes.
30/40/50 euros per person depending on the yacht. A few yachts will allow you to buy your own food from supermarket
and you will pay the provision bill. The food should be enough to cover guests and for the crew as well.
Crew
With passing years especailly in the last decade, the crews of charter boats have gained experience and professionalism, so crew is less critical
than it was 10 years ago for superior and deluxe yachts.
The quality of standart boats, along with the skills of the crew vary greatly from one yacht to another.
Some larger and luxury boats have more than three crew. Crew quarters are separate in all boats.
For the sailing enthusiasts, licenced captains there are many
bareboats to choose from.
