Sailing Yacht Charters from Bodrum
The biggest charter port in Turkey, and the natural starting line for the Aegean. Most vessels in our directory are Bodrum-built, Bodrum-based, and know the peninsula intimately. Real sailing — sails up, engine off, water rushing past. The smaller, more focused alternative to a gulet, for guests who want the boat to actually go where the wind says.
Sailing Yacht charters from Bodrum are the natural pairing for travellers who already know which boat type they want and which Turkish port they want to start in. This page filters our directory to exactly that intersection — every sailing yacht based in Bodrum that's bookable through MaviSail.
Bodrum is the centre of Turkish charter. The town built half the gulets you see in our directory and most of the captains spent their early careers walking these decks. From the marina you can be in your first swim cove within an hour, on the Greek side (Kos, Kalymnos) the same afternoon if the paperwork is done in advance.
Sailing yachts are the smallest segment of the Turkish charter fleet, but the most genuine sailing experience. These are real performance hulls (40–60ft typically) that actually sail rather than motor — engine off most of the day, sails trimmed, the trip shaped by the wind.
Qué buscar en el barco adecuado
Filtros pre-aplicados a la selección sailing yacht charters in bodrum abajo.
Aegean access
Direct line into Gümüşlük, Gökova, the Greek Dodecanese (Kos/Kalymnos/Symi), and the Datça peninsula.
Largest fleet
More vessels here than any other Turkish port — wider price range, more dates, easier to match a specific spec.
Wind-driven
Sail up, engine off. Days are shaped by the breeze — the captain picks anchorages that work with the wind direction.
Smaller groups
Typically 4–8 guests in 2–4 cabins. More intimate than a gulet — closer to chartering a friend's yacht than booking a hotel.

Preguntas frecuentes
Para sailing yacht charters in bodrum.
When is the Bodrum charter season?
Late April through mid-October. Peak weather and prices: July and August. The best balance of weather, water temperature, and quieter bays is mid-May to mid-June and September.
Can we cross to the Greek islands from Bodrum?
Yes — Kos, Kalymnos, Leros, Patmos and Symi are all reachable. Plan ahead: each crossing needs a transit log entry and the captain has to declare on both sides. Add a day either side for paperwork.
Bareboat or crewed?
Both available. Crewed = captain (and sometimes a hostess) included; the default. Bareboat = you skipper yourself, requires an international competence certificate (ICC) or RYA Day Skipper minimum, mostly out of Marmaris and Bodrum.
How is this different from a gulet?
Smaller, faster, sails properly, less deck space, less cooking infrastructure. A gulet is a floating villa with sails. A sailing yacht is a sailing boat with cabins. Pick by what matters more: the boat or the bays.
