How to price a Turkish week

1. Pick the coast first. Fethiye, Gocek, Bodrum and Marmaris are different cruising grounds with different weather and different fleets, and the base you leave from decides most of your week.
2. Separate the gulet from the yacht. A gulet is a crewed wooden motor-sailer sold by the cabin or by the boat, usually with food included. It is not comparable to a bareboat weekly rate and should not be compared to one.
3. Ask what is included before the rate. Turkish crewed charters more often include food and soft drinks than Croatian or Greek ones do. That changes the real cost of two published numbers that look the same.
4. Check the transit log. Turkish charters carry a transit log and port formalities that are billed to the charterer. Ask for the figure in writing rather than discovering it at check-in.

What Turkey's published figures say

The Moorings' Turkey page states a range of $7,224 to $31,229 based on a 7 day charter for 2 people out of Fethiye. That is the highest entry figure of the five Moorings destinations in this record, which is the opposite of Turkey's reputation and worth reading carefully: the same company starts at $1,885 in Croatia and $2,634 in Greece. The Turkish base is smaller and the fleet is newer, and a published range reflects the fleet the company actually has there rather than what the country costs.

That is exactly why this record lists companies rather than countries. Turkey through a bareboat operator's Fethiye base and Turkey through a gulet agency are different products at different prices, and only one of them publishes.

The gulet problem

The boat most people mean by a Turkish charter is a gulet, and gulets are the least publicly priced product in this trade. They are sold crewed, often with a cook, sometimes by the cabin, and almost always by enquiry. Nothing in this record publishes a gulet week, and rather than estimate one, this page says so. When you enquire, ask whether the price is per boat or per cabin, whether food is included, and how many crew are aboard, because those three answers explain most of the spread between two gulet quotes.

The extras, in the trade's own numbers

A published weekly rate is the yacht. Everything else is charged on top, and the extras are large enough to change which boat you can afford. Sailing Holidays in Croatia publishes the clearest breakdown found in this record: a skipper at 1.260 EUR a week paid separately at embarkation, fuel around 100 EUR a week on a sailboat, marina and port fees averaging 450 EUR a week, and tourist tax at 1.35 EUR per person per day. On a crewed yacht the Advance Provisioning Allowance replaces most of that with one much larger number, and VAT or the local charter tax sits on top of both.

Questions people ask before they enquire

What does a yacht charter in Turkey cost per week?

The Moorings publishes $7,224 to $31,229 for a 7 day charter for 2 people from its Fethiye base, read on 9 September 2026. Gulets are quoted on enquiry and no company in this record publishes a gulet week.

Is Turkey cheaper than Greece for a charter?

Not on the published figures from the same company. The Moorings starts at $2,634 in Greece and $7,224 in Turkey for the same 7 days and the same two people, which reflects the fleet at each base rather than the cost of the country.

What is a transit log?

It is the Turkish cruising document for the yacht, and the charterer usually pays for it. Boataround prints a transit log fee of 810 against one of its listings, which is the order of magnitude to expect.
