Bodrum Coves and Tips

Aquarium Cove (Karaada): True to its name - the water is so clear you can see the seabed from the boat. Spend 15-20 minutes snorkelling and every fish is visible. Sheltered at midday, a family favourite.

Orak Island: Just south of Karaada, calmer and more open. Water is deeper, more blue. Ideal anchor for guests who dive. The Karaada-Orak line is one of the most photogenic compositions in the region for drone shots.

Türkbükü Coves: Although Türkbükü's main pier is known for stylish hotels and beach clubs, Göltürkbükü and Tilkicik Cove just to the north offer calm alternatives for morning swims. The yacht can anchor and the tender takes you to shore.

Gümüşlük Tavşan Island: A shallow wreck zone in front of the ancient Myndos harbour ruins. Excellent for snorkelling, safe depth for families with children. Docking at Gümüşlük pier in the late afternoon for dinner at a fish restaurant is a classic Bodrum ritual.

What You Should Know Before Booking

Departure point is finalised at booking (Bodrum centre, Türkbükü, Yalıkavak and others). Bodrum yacht charter prices include fuel, crew, linens-towel sets, daily cleaning and main-port mooring fees - a different departure port involves additional planning. For food and drinks two options: bring your own provisions or share your needs with the team who handle coordination. All yachts feature a sound system, AC and TV. In case of weather-driven cancellation, refund terms apply transparently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum charter in Bodrum?

Bodrum supports both daily (10:00-18:00) and overnight charters. For overnight programmes the minimum is 1 night; the sweet spot is 3-5 nights. Daily charter suits small groups and short celebrations.

Should I depart from Türkbükü or Yalıkavak?

Your holiday theme decides. Türkbükü is the calmer, boutique, premium opening (closer to the Karaada-Orak line). Yalıkavak offers a more developed marina experience with easier access toward Gümüşlük. King Henry departs from Türkbükü, Lalin from Yalıkavak, and Foundation from Bodrum centre.

Kos (Greek island) visits require visa and customs procedures; same-day or overnight Kos transits can be planned at booking for an additional fee. Available on selected days during summer. We recommend at least 5 days of notice.

Can I bring children?

Yes. With life jackets, snorkel gear and secure deck layouts, our yachts suit family holidays. Aquarium Cove and the Tavşan Island area offer shallow, clear water ideal for ages 4-10. Foundation's twin cabin layout is a practical fit for families with children.
