Holiday & Leisure
A Bodrum yacht charter with friends is twelve of you on a 20–25 m motor yacht out of Milta Bodrum Marina by ten, coffee on the aft deck as the castle drops astern. Orak Island is the first stop, forty minutes away, for the swim and lunch; the afternoon goes to Türkbükü and its jetties, and the yacht is back in town in time for Bar Street.
Splitting a yacht between a group is the practical way to do Bodrum. A day charter takes up to 12 friends with sunbeds, a tender and a sound system, and the peninsula's best stops, Orak Island, Karaada, Türkbükü and Gümüşlük, are all within an hour of the marinas. For a longer trip, a Bodrum gulet with 6–8 cabins gives a group a week in the Gulf of Gökova with a cook on board and a different bay every night, which works out simpler than villas and hire cars.

Duration
Bodrum is the sociable end of the Turkish coast, and it shows in the planning. Mornings are calm for Orak Island; the meltem builds after lunch, which is when a group is happiest anchored off the Türkbükü jetties or in a sheltered bay. July and August are peak for both yachts and beach clubs, so book early; June and September have the same weather and more choice for groups. Friends flying in on different flights reach Milta Bodrum Marina from Milas-Bodrum Airport in about 45 minutes.

Yes. We issue one booking with a deposit and balance, and most groups collect from each other. On request we provide a per-person breakdown of the charter so the organiser can share it with the group.
Yes. The yacht anchors off the Türkbükü jetties and the tender takes the group ashore. We reserve a table or sunbeds in advance, which is essential in July and August, and the yacht waits in the bay for the cruise home.
