Limanağzı15 min
The first anchorage out of Kaş harbour — a sheltered bay with three small beach restaurants reachable only by boat or footpath. Common first-night stop on a Kaş-based itinerary.
Boutique Lycian
Yacht Charters from Kaş
A small, walkable Lycian harbour town — Turkey's diving capital, with day-trip access to Kekova's sunken city and the Greek island of Meis.
Kaş is a smaller charter base than Bodrum or Fethiye, and that's the whole point. The harbour walks straight into the town centre, the diving is the best on the Turkish coast, and a five-minute crossing puts you in Greece (Meis / Kastellorizo) for lunch.
The fleet is smaller too — boutique gulets and motor yachts mostly, with a strong skew toward operators who do the same routes year after year and know the bays personally.
Qué buscar en el barco adecuado
Filtros pre-aplicados a la selección charters in kaş abajo.
Best diving in Turkey
Underwater visibility 25–30m, multiple wall and wreck sites within 20 minutes. Many vessels here carry dive compressors and gear.
Meis / Kastellorizo
A 20-minute crossing puts you on a tiny Greek island for lunch. Day-trip-able; many charters include it.
Walkable harbour
Unlike Bodrum / Fethiye marinas, Kaş's harbour is the town. Step off the gulet, you're at dinner in 2 minutes.
Kekova nearby
The sunken city is half a day east. Easy to fold into a Kaş-based week without long passages.

Desde la marina
2 hr 45 min – 3 hr 15 min
Traslado
€140–180 each way
Taxi
Both airports work — AYT has more direct international flights, DLM has the British/Northern European charter market. Most guests choose AYT in summer (cheaper fares) and DLM in winter shoulder. The transfer is the main friction; many captains arrange a shared van for guests on coordinated arrivals.
Información práctica
Lo que debes saber
- Marina + port fees
- Setur Kaş Marina is small (about 460 berths) and books up quickly in peak season. Captains based here include the boarding-day berth; mid-week stops at Kalkan town quay or Greek harbours add €120–€200/night.
- Fuel
- Lighter weekly fuel use than Bodrum or Marmaris because daily passages are short. Budget €1,200–€2,500 depending on whether you cross to Patara or just stay around Kekova.
- Diving logistics
- Most charter weeks dive from a separate dive boat rather than off the gulet — the dive operator picks divers up at 8:30am, returns by 17:00. Two-tank days are standard; €70–€90 per diver per day plus gear hire if needed. Coordinate with the captain at booking.
- Greek crossing — short version
- Meis (Kastellorizo) is 20 minutes from the harbour, the shortest legal Greek crossing in Turkey. Allow 90 minutes total for paperwork on either side. Day-trippable with a 15:00 return.
- Fleet size
- Fewer than 25 charter vessels operate full-time from Kaş. In peak weeks the entire fleet is fully booked; off-peak the boutique vessels here are usually available with 2–4 weeks notice.
Fondeaderos al alcance
Adonde van realmente los itinerarios de una semana desde este puerto. Tiempos de navegación aproximados, condiciones moderadas.
Meis / Kastellorizo (Greece)20 min
The shortest Turkish–Greek crossing on the entire coast. Walkable Greek harbour town with painted houses and waterfront tavernas. Customs clearance applies; the captain prepares the transit log in advance.
Kaputaş Beach1 hr
Cliff-walled cove with a small white-sand beach famous from Turkish tourism brochures. Anchor offshore — the bay is too tight to overnight in. Swim in at lunchtime; the beach has no road access from above.
Üçağız1 hr 30 min
Sleepy fishing village at the mouth of the Kekova channel. Quay-side fish restaurants, a Lycian sarcophagus standing in the bay water, and the launch point for the Sunken City crossing.
Kekova Sunken City1 hr 45 min
Half-submerged Lycian settlement — drift over the foundations in clear shallow water. Swimming is technically prohibited over the protected zone, but anchorages either side give you snorkel-level views of the same walls.
Patara2 hrs 30 min
The longest unbroken beach on the Lycian coast (12 km of sand) plus the ancient Lycian capital ruins inland. Anchor offshore in calm weather; tender ashore for a half-day at the ruins and the beach.
Kalkan1 hr 45 min
Whitewashed harbour town further west, walkable from the boat. Better dinner-ashore option than anchorages with no village; the harbour has limited overnight berths so most charters anchor in the bay outside.
En tierra
Qué hacer el día antes del embarque y después del desembarque, más una breve lista de restaurantes que valen la pena.
Día antes del chárter
Kaş's harbour is the town — the marina is at one end, restaurants and small hotels along the seafront, the Lycian rock tombs and the small Roman amphitheatre on the hills behind. Stay one night in a Kaş boutique hotel (the town has dozens), eat dinner at the harbour, and walk to the boat in the morning. The PADI dive shops are along the seafront if you want to confirm dive plans before sailing.
Día después del desembarque
The transfer to either AYT or DLM is long enough that most guests build in a half-day. If your flight is the same evening, leave Kaş by mid-morning. If overnight, the Kaputaş road south offers spectacular coastal driving; or stay another night in town and catch the dawn light over the harbour.
Dónde comer en tierra
- Bahçe RestaurantGarden Turkish meze
A walled garden restaurant just back from the seafront, the meze plate everyone in Kaş recommends. Best in early summer when the garden's wisteria is in flower.
- Smiley'sSeafood
Long-running British-friendly fish restaurant on the harbour. English menu, mid-range, reliable. Where the season-long dive instructors eat their birthdays.
- SardunyaModern Turkish
Hillside terrace above the town with the best sunset view in Kaş. Mid-to-premium pricing, reservation strongly recommended in July/August.
- MercanMarina-front classic
On the quay where the gulets tie up. Plain, no-fuss, the captains' choice for the welcome dinner — they all know the owner.
Considerar otro puerto
Misma costa, distinta línea de salida — el argumento breve por cada alternativa.
Antalya →
Bigger fleet, easier flight access via AYT, ruins-heavy itineraries (Phaselis, Olympos, Suluada) you can't reach from Kaş.
Fethiye →
The other classic Lycian base — busier town, deeper fleet, the Twelve Islands route as the alternative to Kekova.
Datça →
Even quieter than Kaş, on the Aegean coast. Different climate, different anchorage style — almonds and slow peninsula bays instead of dive sites.
Pair your Kaş charter with…
You’re on the Lycian coast — there’s a trail, a paragliding mountain, and a layer of ancient cities right next to where your gulet is moored. The sister sites that handle each one:

Preguntas frecuentes
Para charters in kaş.
Is the fleet here small?
Yes — Kaş has fewer than 20 charter vessels of significant size. Book early in peak season; off-peak there's usually choice.
Diving — what level?
Open Water and above. Kaş has multiple PADI / SSI dive centres in the town that can supply gear, instructors, and certify you mid-charter if needed. Discuss with the captain in advance — the diver usually goes ashore to the dive boat for the day rather than diving from the gulet itself.
How long is the Greek crossing?
Meis is 20 minutes from Kaş harbour. Customs formalities apply (passports, Transit Log) but it's the shortest Turkish-Greek crossing on the coast.
Can we charter just for a few days?
Most operators do week-long charters. A few do 3–4 night trips, especially shoulder season. Worth asking via the inquiry form rather than the standard week-long booking flow.
