Gulet Charter in Turkey: Your Complete Guide to Prices and Booking a Blue Cruise

Turkey's Turquoise Coast remains one of the best-value yacht charter destinations in the Mediterranean. A traditional gulet accommodating 8-12 guests typically starts from a few thousand euros per week in shoulder season, rising during July and August.

What's usually included: crew service, fuel for daily cruising, port taxes, and use of onboard equipment. What's usually extra: provisioning, beach towels, and gratuities.

Best time to book: April-May and September-October offer warm water with fewer crowds and lower rates than peak summer. Whichever season you choose, book early for the most popular gulets — the best boats and dates go first.
