Business & Networking
A Bodrum yacht charter networking event boards at Yalıkavak Marina at six, when the day's heat has gone and the superyacht berths are busy with people coming ashore. Your guests move between the foredeck and the aft deck with a drink as the yacht cruises to a sunset anchorage off Turgutreis, with the Greek island of Kos on the horizon.
A yacht solves the two problems of networking events: people leave early, and people stick to those they know. At anchor, nobody leaves, and the layout of a 20–25 m motor yacht, with a foredeck, an aft deck and a saloon, keeps guests moving between groups. Yalıkavak Marina gives a Bodrum event an instant sense of occasion, and for larger guest lists we run a flotilla that anchors together off Türkbükü, with the tender ferrying guests between yachts and the beach club jetties.

Duration
The north-west corner of the peninsula, between Yalıkavak and Turgutreis, faces the sunset and is where evening events work best. The afternoon meltem fades into the evening, and the captain chooses the sheltered side of the coast on the day so guests can stand and talk without holding the rail. July and August bring the largest crowds and the most competition for yachts; June and September are the professional's choice, with the same evenings and more availability. Milas-Bodrum Airport is around 45 minutes from Yalıkavak Marina and D-Marin Turgutreis.
Booking FAQ
Twelve per motor yacht on an evening charter. For 40–60 guests we run a flotilla from Yalıkavak Marina that anchors together off Türkbükü, with tenders moving guests between yachts, or we combine a crewed yacht for the hosts with day yachts for guests.
At the marina, yes; once the yacht has left, no. We keep boarding open for 30 minutes at Yalıkavak Marina, and for a flotilla the tender can collect latecomers from the Türkbükü jetties if the yachts are anchored there.
We handle everything on the water and at the marina: guest list check-in in the lounges, badges, drinks and canapés. Invitations remain with you, though we supply the event details, boarding time and directions to Yalıkavak Marina.
