Motor Yacht Charter Bodrum
Bodrum is the busiest yacht harbour on the Turkish coast and a natural base for a motor yacht charter — a lively marina town beneath a Crusader castle, with the largest fleet and the best access to fuel, provisions and crew. A motor yacht from Bodrum trades the gulet's slow pace for speed and space, putting the Gulf of Gökova, the Bodrum Peninsula's bays and the Greek islands of Kos and Kalymnos within easy reach.
Bodrum's motor yachts run from sleek crewed cruisers to wide-beam luxury yachts with flybridges, jacuzzis and water-toys. They suit travellers who want to cover more coast in a week, reach further anchorages and enjoy air-conditioned comfort — ideal for a fast, polished week or a high-end celebration afloat.
Most charters depart Bodrum's marinas, about half an hour from Milas–Bodrum Airport. Tell us your dates, group size and the coast you'd like to explore, and we'll match you with the right motor yacht and a Bodrum itinerary.

Frequently asked questions
Why charter a motor yacht from Bodrum?
Bodrum has the largest fleet and the best access to fuel, crew and provisions, plus an airport half an hour away — and it opens straight onto the Gulf of Gökova, the Bodrum Peninsula and the nearby Greek islands.
Where do Bodrum motor yachts sail?
Typically the Bodrum Peninsula and the Gulf of Gökova; their speed makes Datça and the Greek islands of Kos and Kalymnos easy day-hops with a passport.
Motor yacht or gulet from Bodrum?
A gulet is slower, wooden and relaxed; a motor yacht is faster and more modern, covering more distance and offering air-conditioned comfort and a higher-end feel. Both are crewed.
How much is a Bodrum motor yacht charter?
It's a private weekly charter for the whole boat, so the cost depends on the yacht and group size; fuel is a bigger factor than on a gulet. Send us your dates for an exact, all-in quote.
