TURKEY MOTOR BOATS & YACHT CHARTERS
Turkey has always been a seafaring nation with a cultural mix of eastern & western styles. Many power yachts are available in Turkey during the summer months, cruising the small ancient villages along this rocky coast. Spectacular ancient ruins and history await you as you step ashore from your motor yacht, or perhaps some shopping for traditional handicrafts.
Recently, Turkish shipbuilders have turned to the luxury power yacht market and begun building new yachts that combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern design. Famous luxury shipyards like Perini Navi are now building their power yachts in Turkey as well as several builders such as Dunya, Proteksan Turquoise and Vicem Yachts. This has developed a strong group of yachts that spend part of their summer Mediterranean season in Turkey.
Luxury motor yachts are usually full displacement hulls with zero speed (or ‘at anchor’) stabilizers which mean that guests can sleep comfortably without rolling, even if there is movement in an anchorage. These large yachts are 90′ and up (30 m), and can cater to groups from two to 12. Because Turkey has such a large coastline, only the largest yachts will cruise from Istanbul to the resort areas, and we do suggest making your trip longer than a week if you want to travel between Greece and Turkey.
Crew on these power yachts are international in background bringing skills that cover a knowledge of white glove service, languages and traditional customs to show you how the West meets the East in this wonderful culture. Small towns boast markets with handcrafted wares, offering anything from rugs, to jewelry, to brass, leather and wood objects. Although the food served by the chefs on these power yachts combines fresh local ingredients, it is part of a charter to dine ashore and be entertained by the variety of local dishes, sitting on the floor relaxing and talking with friends. A motor yacht charter offers clients privacy, activity and time with no schedule, to be able to let the day unfold in ways you would not have predicted.
A power yacht is an excellent way to enjoy the comfort of the Western world in an area where time seems to have stopper. Turkey and her people are waiting to welcome you on your next charter.
