With the speed and range of a mega yacht, you can experience the very best of the Turkish Riviera in a single week. This one-way itinerary from Bodrum to Fethiye combines the glamour of Bodrum and Yalıkavak, the ancient city of Knidos, the luxury of D-Maris Bay, the lively harbour of Marmaris, the rock tombs of Dalyan, the emerald Twelve Islands of Göcek and the famous Blue Lagoon of Ölüdeniz. It is a journey through some of the most beautiful coastline in the Mediterranean, enjoyed from the comfort of your own superyacht.
This route works in either direction and can be adapted to your interests, the weather and the yacht’s location. Motor superyachts can comfortably cover the distances, leaving plenty of time each day for swimming, water toys and exploring ashore. One-way charters usually involve a repositioning fee, which we include in your quotation.

We arrange VIP transfers or helicopter transfers at either end. Restaurant and beach club reservations at D-Maris Bay and Yalıkavak are essential in summer, and we book them in advance.
