What a week's sailing in Turkey really costs — weekly prices, what's included, the extras to budget for, and how to pay less. No broker fee, ever.
The honest answer is "it depends" — but not by as much as you might think. The price of a yacht charter in Turkey comes down to four things: the size and age of the boat, the time of year you sail, the base you leave from, and the extras you add. Here is a clear, no-jargon guide to what a week afloat in Turkey really costs.
As a rough guide for the whole boat per week in season, Turkey is excellent value — often the cheapest quality chartering in the Med:
| Yacht | Sleeps | Typical week (season) |
|---|---|---|
| Monohull 37–43ft | 6–8 | €1,600–€3,200 |
| Monohull 46–50ft | 8–10 | €2,800–€5,000 |
| Catamaran 40–46ft | 8–10 | €3,800–€7,500 |
| Skipper (optional) | — | ≈ €150 / day |
Split between a crew of six, even a mid-size monohull often works out at a few hundred euros per person for the week — one of the cheapest ways to have a genuine adventure holiday.
The same boat can cost half as much in May or October as it does in the first two weeks of August. June and September are the sweet spot: warm, settled weather at shoulder-season prices. If your dates are flexible, moving a week either side of the school holidays is the single easiest way to save money.
A brand-new catamaran with air-conditioning, a generator and a watermaker sits at the top of the range. A well-kept monohull a few years old, without the luxury extras, can be excellent value and sails just as well. We will always show you both.
Local tip: the cheapest advertised price is rarely the cheapest real price. A slightly dearer boat at a better base can save you a day of motoring — and a day of fuel — on both the outward and return legs.
The weekly charter fee covers the yacht and its standard equipment. On top of that, budget for a transit log and low marina fees, plus these usual extras:
Sail in the shoulder season, split the cost across a full crew, book early for the best boats at the best price, and consider a slightly older monohull over a new catamaran if budget matters more than space. We hold Turkey inventory across several bases, so we can nearly always find a better-value alternative to a boat you have seen elsewhere — at no extra cost over booking direct, because the base pays our fee, not you.
