Shoulder Season

April and May are quieter months to sail in Turkey but are still generally warm and sunny and may well be a good option for you if you are looking for a tranquil sailing experience.

Sea Temperatures

From May to Novemeber the waters remain above 20ºC, peaking at 26ºC for the main summer months. Turkey is the perfect destination for watersports, snorkeling, and scuba diving.

Wind

The average wind speed is 10 - 20 KN from the NW which makes for relaxed sailing conditions with the winds picking up slightly in the afternoon. Making this a family friendly sailing experience.

Turkey is a fantastic destination for sailing, with a myriad of bays, historic sites and steady winds.

Göcek

A bustling, authentic Turkish port with picturesque islands and coves. Perfect for those looking for calmer sailing conditions.

Fethiye

A popular sailing destination with lots of sheltered anchorages, coves and islands to explore. The ideal location for swimming and snorkeling and perhaps even catching a sight of turtles and dolphins! 

Marmaris

The perfect mix of city nightlife, quiet anchorages and historic sites make Marmaris the perfect destination for a yacht charter. At the end of October Marmaris hosts its International Race Week regatta.

The cost of your yacht charter depends on several factors:

Boat Type

The type and size of the yacht you book will dictate the price. A 1 week bareboat charter in Turkey on a 2 - 3 cabin monohull starts at around £900 in low season whereas a 1 week charter on a luxury catamaran with a skipper in high season could be upwards of £10,000. These are the two extremes of the scale for a 1 week yacht charter in Turkey and we offer plenty of choices in between. 

Charter duration

1 week is a popular choice amongst our sailors and makes the perfect getaway, however, a longer charter will give you more time to explore even more of the Turkish coastline and islands. We have a range of 1 and 2 week flotillas as well as custom bareboat bookings which can be tailored to your timescale.

Time of Year

Due to the hotter temperatures and longer season in Turkey, lower-priced yacht charters are available in the off-season of April and November with prices starting to rise in May and peaking in June, September and early to mid October.

Crew

Don't have any sailing experience? No problem! We offer several skippered and crewed options so you can enjoy the yachting lifestyle without the stress. From a simple skippered yacht to fully crewed options, we can arrange a charter to suit your needs.

Flotilla vs Bareboat

Flotilla yacht charters are more expensive than a bareboat charter, but for the extra cost, you are getting the assistance of a lead boat with an experienced crew who are ready to help if you need assistance on your voyage. The flotilla lead crew also arrange social activities and lead you on a carefully curated itinerary. Flotillas are great if you enjoy the social aspects of sailing and are perfect for families, especially during school holidays. Children enjoy making new friends, while adults can unwind and connect with like-minded sailors. 

If you are experienced and prefer to discover the islands at your own pace then a bareboat charter is the perfect choice for a relaxing holiday in the Med.

The mooring fees in Turkey are very minimal, you will find it is one of the cheaper Mediterranean destinations in terms of mooring costs. On average, a town quay mooring in Turkey (based on a 40ft monohull) would be €20/night. There are fewer "full-service marinas" compared with somewhere like Croatia, but these would usually be between €50-70/night. There is also the ability to free anchor in a lot of places too, which keeps the cost of your mooring fees down considerably.

Turkey has fantastic sailing conditions, with great offshore NW winds throughout the season. Conditions tend to be calmer in the mornings, picking up in the afternoons.

Spring & Autumn

These are the best times to travel to Turkey, with lighter crowds, moderate temperatures and calm seas.  It is the perfect time to explore everything Turkey has to offer.

Summer

The summers are hot and dry with temperatures averaging between 25º - 30ºC. The Meltemi winds peak between mid-May and mid-September, providing a more exciting sailing experience for experienced sailors.

Best times to sail in Turkey

The best sailing conditions are May, June, September and October

 

A 1 - 2 week yacht charter will give you the most relaxed sailing experience when exploring Turkey. From swimming in the turquoise waters to mooring at secluded family-run restaurants, we have a range of itineraries to make sure you see the best sailing spots in Turkey.
