Bodrum is the beating heart of luxury yachting in Turkey. Its marinas – Bodrum Marina in the centre of town, Yalıkavak with its glamorous superyacht berths, and Turgutreis on the western tip of the peninsula – are home to an extraordinary range of charter yachts, from traditional gulets to sleek modern motor yachts of 40 metres and more. A Bodrum yacht charter gives you the freedom to explore one of the most beautiful stretches of the Mediterranean on your own private yacht, with a professional crew taking care of everything while you swim, dine, explore and relax.
At Aren Yachting we specialise in crewed yacht charters from Bodrum for British and international guests. Rather than overwhelming you with thousands of listings, we offer a carefully selected fleet of yachts that we know personally, and every charter begins with a free consultation with an experienced advisor. We listen to what you want, recommend the yachts that genuinely suit your group and budget, and help you plan a tailored itinerary – from quiet family weeks in the Gulf of Gökova to island-hopping in the Greek Dodecanese.

Types of Yachts Available in Bodrum
Motor yachts are the choice for guests who want speed, modern design and the ability to cover more ground, perhaps visiting Kos, Kalymnos and the Datça peninsula in a single week. Our Bodrum fleet includes motor yachts from around 25 to over 50 metres, with four to six luxurious cabins and crews of four to ten. Motorsailers and luxury gulets combine traditional wooden craftsmanship with superyacht comfort, offering vast deck space and inclusive cruising fuel. Classic gulets provide outstanding value for families and groups. Our team will explain the differences honestly – read our gulet vs motor yacht comparison for an overview.
Where You Can Cruise from Bodrum
The Gulf of Gökova, east of Bodrum, is a long, sheltered gulf of pine-clad mountains and quiet coves, including Orak Island, Cleopatra Island and English Harbour – see our guide to the best bays of Gökova. The Bodrum peninsula itself offers lively beach clubs, the fashionable marina of Yalıkavak, the fishing village of Gümüşlük and the bays of Akyarlar and Aspat. To the south, ancient Knidos and the Datça peninsula lead to the glamorous D-Maris Bay. And just across the water lie the Greek islands of Kos, Pserimos, Kalymnos and Leros, easily reached with the correct transit paperwork, which we arrange for you.
