Charters in Bodrum
Aegean base

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.

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.

Bodrum suits trips that want both nightlife and quiet — start with a dinner ashore in Bodrum, then peel west into Gümüşlük or south to the Hisarönü and Gökova gulfs where the bays empty out. Captains here also do the long crossings to Marmaris and Datça when the wind is right.

Що варто знати

Marina + port fees
D-Marin Bodrum is the main berthing harbour. Captains include marina fees in the charter price for departure-day berthing; long stays at the dock during the week add roughly €100–250/night depending on vessel size.
Fuel
Pay-as-you-go on top of the charter price. Budget €1,500–€3,000 per week depending on motor-vs-sail balance and vessel size — gulets motor more, sailboats less.
Greek-island paperwork
Crossings to Kos, Kalymnos, Leros, Patmos, Symi are all routine but require a transit log entry on the Turkish side and customs clearance on the Greek side. Tell the captain at booking — paperwork takes 24–48 hours.
Provisioning
Most captains handle a base provisioning order for the week (breakfast, lunch, soft drinks, fruit) included in the charter rate. Special requests, alcohol, dinners ashore are extra. The Bodrum fresh market runs Tuesday + Friday.
Tipping
Standard captain + crew tip is 5–10% of the charter rate, paid in cash on the last day. Splittable across the crew at your discretion — most captains will distribute fairly.

Куди реально приводять тижневі маршрути з цього порту. Час переходу — орієнтовний, за помірних умов.

The fish-restaurant village at the western tip of the peninsula. Anchor offshore, tender ashore for sunset dinner. The Rabbit Island walk at low tide is a cabin-charter ritual.

Yalıçiftlik1 hr 15 min

Sheltered bay on the south Bodrum coast, perfect for a first-night anchorage with calm overnight conditions and a beach bar ashore.

Çökertme4 hrs

Hisarönü Gulf classic — a horseshoe bay framed by olive groves, traditional fish restaurants on stilts. The famous folk song "Çökertmeden Çıktım da Halilim" is named after it.

Knidos4 hrs 30 min

The ancient Greek city site at the western tip of the Datça peninsula. Ruins, lighthouse, and the place where the Mediterranean and Aegean technically meet.

Famously sheltered Datça bay where the British fleet hid during WWII. Total silence overnight, no village, just pine forest and water.

На березі

Що робити напередодні посадки і після висадки, плюс короткий список ресторанів, заради яких варто пройтися.

День перед чартером

Bodrum old town is walkable from most marinas. Visit the 15th-century Castle of St Peter (now a museum of underwater archaeology — the Uluburun bronze-age shipwreck is here), wander the bazaar streets, then dinner at one of the old-town meze restaurants. Stay near the marina; many gulet charters board Friday evening for a Saturday morning departure.

День після висадки

Most flights leave mid-afternoon, so Saturday morning leaves time for a final swim or breakfast at a marina café. If your flight is Sunday, an overnight in Bitez (10 min by taxi) gets you a quieter beach village than central Bodrum, plus the Sunday craft market.

Де поїсти на березі
  • Mavi RestaurantFish + meze

    Old-town favourite — the fish is bought daily at the Bodrum auction, the meze plates are the most generous in town.

  • KocadonModern Turkish

    Stone-courtyard restaurant in a 200-year-old townhouse. Higher price point; book ahead in summer.

  • Limon Cafe (Gümüşlük)Garden bistro

    If your captain anchors at Gümüşlük — citrus-grove setting, Mediterranean menu, sunset views toward Rabbit Island.

  • Bodrum BalıkçısıSeafood grill

    Marina-front, no-reservations, point-at-the-fish-and-eat-it. The lokal's pick.

Часті запитання

Для 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.

Is Bodrum better than Fethiye for first-time charterers?

They suit different trips. Bodrum is busier, livelier, more options, more nightlife. Fethiye is greener, more sheltered (Twelve Islands), better for families. If in doubt, families and quieter trips lean Fethiye; mixed-age groups and party crowds lean Bodrum.

Do prices include fuel?

No — fuel is paid separately on most charters. Budget €1,500–€3,000 per week of cruising depending on vessel size and how much you motor vs. sail. Captains can give you a real number based on the route.
