1. Booking a yacht charter in Turkey
To book most yacht charters, you’ll need to sign a charter agreement and pay 50% of the charter fee upfront as a deposit to secure your chosen yacht. This is usually due once the contract is signed.
2. How much does it cost to charter in Turkey?
Turkey is becoming increasingly popular for yacht & gulet charters, so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from that fit your budget.
Whatever type of yacht you decide on, keep in mind that there are additional costs not included in the yacht charter base rate. These include VAT and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). The APA is usually 30% of the charter fee and is paid in advance. It covers expenses like fuel, berthing, food, and drinks, as well as any special requests.
However, gulet charters usually have lower APAs. If you need personalized advice, feel free to reach us out.

5. What do I need to consider before booking a Turkey yacht charter?
Before booking a yacht charter, consider your budget, the number of guests, and the type of yacht you’re looking for. Also, keep in mind the additional costs not included in the base rate, such as VAT and the APA.
You can also charter a gulet in Turkey, unlike many yacht charter destinations. It might be a good fit for you. Gulet charters often have lower APA costs and wide decks to enjoy the turquoise views. But there are usually capped fuel limits and air conditioning times.
6. Can you visit Greece on a Turkey yacht charter?
Yes, you can visit Greece on a luxury Turkey yacht charter. But you might have to pay extra VAT and fees if you go outside Turkish waters. It’s usually easier to visit Turkey and then Greece or vice versa, instead of going back and forth between the two. That’s because you’ll need to show your passport every time you cross a border, which can be a hassle.
