Romance & Special Occasions
A wedding celebration on a private yacht from Bodrum starts at Milta Bodrum Marina around midday, with guests stepping aboard a 20–25 m motor yacht dressed in white and flowers under the castle walls. You cruise east for a long swim at Orak Island, come back for dinner at anchor off Karaada, and have the first dance on deck as the lights of Bodrum come on.
Bodrum is built for a celebration that is glamorous without being formal. A day yacht from Milta Bodrum Marina takes up to 12 guests with sunbeds, a tender and a sound system for the party, while a 25 m+ crewed yacht with chef from Yalıkavak Marina turns the wedding dinner into a proper event. For a longer celebration, the town's own boatyards build the gulets that carry a wedding party into the quiet Gulf of Gökova for three or four days.

Duration
Peak wedding weeks in Bodrum are July and August, when the beach clubs and marinas are at their liveliest and yachts book out early. June and September have the same weather with far more availability and calmer bays. The afternoon meltem is normal in summer, so we plan the swim stop for the early afternoon and the dinner in a sheltered anchorage. Milas-Bodrum Airport is about 45 minutes from all three marinas, which makes it easy for guests flying in on the day before.
Booking FAQ
Day charters on motor yachts of 15–25 m carry up to 12 guests, which suits a close family and friends celebration. For larger parties we combine two yachts cruising together to Orak Island, or you take a crewed yacht for the couple's inner circle.
Yes. A 25 m+ crewed yacht from Yalıkavak Marina has a chef who prepares a full dinner at anchor, and the sound system covers dancing on deck. On smaller day yachts we arrange catering delivered at Milta Bodrum Marina before departure.
June and September are ideal: warm sea, long evenings and more yachts available than in peak July and August. If your wedding date falls in high season, book several weeks ahead so we can hold a yacht and crew for you.
