Bodrum has quietly become one of the most exciting superyacht destinations in the Mediterranean. Every summer, the marinas of Bodrum, Yalıkavak and Turgutreis welcome some of the largest and most beautiful yachts in the world, drawn by the turquoise bays of the Turkish Riviera, the proximity of the Greek islands and the glamour of the peninsula’s restaurants and beach clubs. A Bodrum mega yacht charter places you at the centre of it all, aboard a private floating resort with a large professional crew devoted entirely to you and your guests.
A mega yacht is generally considered to be a yacht of 40 metres or more – large enough to offer multiple decks, expansive outdoor lounges, a jacuzzi, a beach club at water level, a substantial collection of water toys and a crew of eight to twelve or more. In Bodrum, you can choose between modern motor superyachts and spectacular flagship motorsailers that combine traditional wooden craftsmanship with superyacht space and service. Whichever you choose, the experience is one of complete privacy, comfort and indulgence.

Our Bodrum Mega Yacht Fleet
At the top of our Bodrum fleet, the 54.2-metre superyacht Maraya offers six luxurious cabins for twelve guests, multiple sun decks and a superb crew. The 50-metre ALC 50 combines striking modern design with generous space, while Ocean Breeze (42.3 m) and Illusion II (40 m) each offer six cabins and outstanding outdoor living. For guests who prefer the character of wood, our flagship motorsailers Oğuz Khan (51 m), All About U2 (50 m) and Meira (50 m) deliver true superyacht experiences in the classic Turkish style.
Life on Board a Mega Yacht
On a mega yacht, every day is effortless. You might start with a swim from the beach club platform, enjoy breakfast on the sky lounge, spend the morning on jet skis or sea bobs, and lunch at anchor in a secluded cove. Afternoons can be spent in the jacuzzi, at a beach club ashore or exploring a Greek island, and evenings bring sunset cocktails and a gourmet dinner prepared by a professional chef. The crew – typically including a captain, officers, engineers, chefs, stewardesses and deckhands – anticipates every need while giving you complete privacy.
