For guests who love speed, contemporary design and the freedom to explore further, a motor yacht charter in Bodrum is the ultimate way to experience the Turkish Riviera. Modern motor yachts can cruise at 15 to 25 knots or more, which means you can enjoy breakfast in a quiet Gökova bay, lunch on the Greek island of Kos and sunset cocktails in the glamorous marina of Yalıkavak – all in one day. On board, you will find stylish interiors, spacious flybridges, beach clubs at water level, jacuzzis on the larger yachts and professional crews trained to superyacht standards.
Bodrum has become one of the leading motor yacht charter destinations in the eastern Mediterranean, thanks to its world-class marinas, its proximity to the Greek Dodecanese and its vibrant nightlife and dining scene. In this guide we present our favourite Bodrum motor yachts for 2027, explain how pricing and APA work, and share tips for choosing the perfect yacht.

How Motor Yacht Pricing Works: APA Explained
Motor yacht charter prices are quoted per week for the yacht and crew. On top of this, you pay an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), usually around 30% of the charter fee, before the charter begins. The APA is held by the captain and used to pay for fuel, food, drinks, harbour and marina fees and any other expenses during the week. The captain keeps a transparent record of all spending, and any unused balance is refunded at the end, while any overspend is settled on board. Because motor yachts burn significant fuel at speed, planning a balanced itinerary with a mix of cruising and relaxing days helps keep costs under control.
