Hisarönü Gulf Yacht Charter
The Gulf of Hisarönü is the deep, island-strewn bay between the Datça and Bozburun peninsulas — one of the quietest and most beautiful cruising grounds on the Turkish coast, and the heart of the classic blue cruise. Pine forest tumbles to sheltered water, the bays are deeply indented and often empty, and the old gulet-building town of Bozburun keeps its slow, seafaring character.
A Hisarönü charter is about peace and pine-scented anchorages. Drop anchor in the near-landlocked Serçe harbour, explore the ancient Loryma fortress above Bozukkale, swim in the still water at Bencik and Dirsekbükü, or call at Bozburun for dinner ashore. The gulf's mix of calm inner bays and steady afternoon breezes suits both relaxed family weeks and proper sailing.
Most charters reach the gulf from Marmaris or start in Bozburun itself, about two hours from Dalaman Airport. Book a private gulet for your group or a cabin charter by the week, and lose yourself in the quietest corner of the Carian coast.
Gulet charters around the Hisarönü Gulf usually run a 7-night blue-cruise route from Marmaris or Bozburun, from around €1,040 per person on a cabin charter or as a private gulet for your group. The fleet spans traditional gulets, motor yachts and catamarans.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Gulf of Hisarönü known for?
It's one of Turkey's quietest, most scenic blue-cruise grounds — deeply indented, pine-fringed bays between the Datça and Bozburun peninsulas, with sheltered anchorages like Serçe, Bencik and Bozukkale.
Where do Hisarönü charters depart from?
Usually Marmaris, or directly from the town of Bozburun within the gulf; both are reachable from Dalaman Airport, about two hours away.
What is Serçe harbour?
Serçe Limanı is a near-landlocked natural harbour on the gulf's south shore — one of the safest, most beautiful anchorages on the coast, and the site of a famous Byzantine shipwreck.
Is the Hisarönü Gulf good for sailing?
Yes — calm, sheltered inner bays make easy days, while the steady afternoon meltemi gives proper sailing across the open gulf. May to October is the season.
