Why charter from Göcek?
Göcek is the closest departure to the 12 Islands and nearby coves; even on day one you reach clear bays in a short hop. Its sheltered marina and calm atmosphere offer a boutique start. Gulet, sailing yacht, motor yacht and catamaran options are all here.
What is a yacht holiday in Göcek like?
At the heart of Turkish yachting, Göcek - with its five marinas and orderly bays - is one of the easiest places to start a yacht holiday. The 12 Islands offshore offer many sheltered coves over short distances, and Dalaman Airport is just half an hour away. The town is small but well kept; time before departure and after return is pleasant to spend.
What boats can you charter from Göcek?
Göcek offers every type: gulet, sailing yacht, motor yacht and catamaran. Larger families pick a gulet or catamaran, those wanting an active holiday a sailing yacht, and those after speed and day escapes a motor yacht. We'll choose the right type for your group and budget together.
How are Göcek charter prices set?
The 24-boat selection on this page is listed with live prices; the current entry level is 1,000 EUR. Five factors drive the price: boat type and length, build/refit year, season (July-August peak), charter duration and crew size. Rough ranges: bareboat sailing yacht 2,000-3,500 EUR per week; motor yacht 1,000-1,700 EUR per day; crewed gulet 5,000-50,000 EUR per week. June and September typically run 20-30% below peak. Use the month selector to see each boat's price by month.
Day charter or weekly cruise?
Private day charter: departure around 10 am, four or five swimming stops on the 12 Islands route, return at sunset - the most sea you can fit into a short holiday, on a boat that is exclusively yours. Weekly blue cruise: Saturday to Saturday, anchoring in a different bay every night across Göcek and the Gulf of Fethiye. Shorter 3-4 night programmes are possible early and late in the season.
Crewed or bareboat?
Most of our guests choose crewed: routing, anchoring, weather watch and port formalities are handled by professionals; gulets and larger motor yachts always come with crew. Bareboat charter is available on sailing yachts and catamarans for sailors holding a valid ICC, RYA Day Skipper or equivalent, with adequate experience. Göcek's sheltered gulf is Türkiye's most forgiving bareboat area for first-timers. As a middle path, add a skipper for the first days at a daily rate.
Göcek's marinas: where you depart
Five world-class marinas fit into one small town - the highest marina density in Türkiye. D-Marin Göcek: full-service international marina, favoured by superyachts. Skopea Marina: in the town centre, next to the restaurants. Club Marina: a boutique harbour in greenery on the west shore. Göcek Village Port: closest to village life, intimate atmosphere. Marinturk Göcek Exclusive: large capacity and technical services. Your exact departure point is confirmed at booking. For weekly charters, check-in is usually Saturday after 3 pm.

Frequently asked questions
+ - How much does a yacht charter in Göcek cost?
Prices in this selection currently start from 1,000 EUR. Rough ranges: bareboat sailing yachts 2,000-3,500 EUR per week, motor yachts 1,000-1,700 EUR per day, crewed gulets 5,000-50,000 EUR per week depending on size. Exact rates depend on the boat, month and duration; the list on this page is live, and the month selector shows seasonal prices.
+ - Can I charter for just one day in Göcek?
Yes. A private day charter on the 12 Islands route is Göcek's signature format: morning departure, swimming stops in secluded coves, return around sunset. The boat is exclusively yours for the day - we don't sell shared tours.
+ - Where can you cruise from Göcek?
The 12 Islands, Yassıca Islands, Bedri Rahmi Bay, Cleopatra's Baths, Tersane Island, Göbün, Sarsala and Boynuzbükü are favourites; weekly routes add the Gulf of Fethiye, Ölüdeniz and Butterfly Valley. We suggest routes by group and weather.
+ - Which boat types are available?
Gulet, sailing yacht, motor yacht and catamaran - 24 boats are currently listed. We shortlist options by date and party size.
+ - How many guests can join?
Capacity is limited by each boat's commercial licence. Boats in our selection sleep 4-14 guests; day-trip capacity is usually higher. For bigger groups we suggest a large gulet or a small flotilla of two boats.
+ - Do I need a licence for bareboat charter?
Yes - a valid ICC, RYA Day Skipper or an equivalent national certificate, plus reasonable experience; owners usually ask for a short sailing CV. If you'd rather not skipper, choose a crewed boat, or add a professional skipper for the first days.
+ - When should I book?
For July-August weeks we recommend booking 4-8 weeks ahead, and 1-2 weeks ahead for day charters. The early-booking window (November-March) offers the widest choice and the best rates.
+ - What's included and excluded?
On crewed boats the yacht, crew and standard equipment are included; fuel, port/transit log fees, provisioning and transfers are mostly extra. On day charters, skipper and fuel are usually included. Every quote lists inclusions and exclusions item by item - no surprises.
+ - How do deposits and insurance work?
All commercial yachts carry mandatory insurance. Bareboat charters require a refundable security deposit; crewed and day charters usually don't. The exact terms are stated clearly in your contract.
+ - What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation and date-change terms vary by boat and season and are written into each contract. If weather prevents a day charter, we rebook or refund together.
+ - Is a yacht holiday safe with children?
Yes. Life jackets for every age are on board and the crew takes the necessary precautions. For families we recommend stable catamarans and sheltered-bay routes - Göcek's enclosed gulf has one of the lowest seasickness risks on the coast.
+ - Can I bring my pet?
It depends on the boat - some owners welcome pets. Tell us in advance and we'll shortlist pet-friendly options.
+ - How do I get to Göcek?
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is about 22 km away - a 25-minute transfer to the marinas. In season there are direct flights from many European cities. We can arrange your airport transfer; landing in the morning and sailing the same day is perfectly doable.
