Morning Star – 36.5 m Luxury Motor Yacht Charter in Göcek & Turkey

Morning Star is a 36.5-metre luxury motor yacht built by Sanlorenzo, launched in 2018. Available for private crewed motor yacht charter in Göcek and across Turkey, she welcomes up to 10 guests in 5 air-conditioned cabins.

Designed by Francesco Paszkowski, she brings Italian elegance and performance to the Göcek coast. With elegant interiors, wide outdoor decks and the performance of a modern motor yacht, Morning Star lets you see more of the coast in a week – from hidden swimming coves to chic marinas and island villages.

Cabins and Accommodation on Motor Yacht Morning Star

Morning Star sleeps 10 guests in a full-beam master suite, two double cabins and two convertible cabins. Every cabin is air-conditioned with its own private bathroom, quality linen and plenty of storage, so couples, families and groups of friends can enjoy real privacy on their luxury yacht charter in Turkey. The crew services the cabins daily while you are on deck or ashore.

Life on Board: Style, Space and Performance

The exterior decks of Morning Star are designed for the Mediterranean summer: a sun deck with loungers and panoramic views, shaded al fresco dining on the aft deck and a peaceful bow lounge. Inside, the saloon offers air-conditioned comfort and entertainment for the evenings. The crew takes care of everything – from the swim platform and water toys to tender runs ashore.

A motor yacht gives you freedom: the captain can move quickly between bays to follow the wind and the sun, avoid crowds and reach islands that are out of range for slower boats. Your days are planned around you – late breakfasts, long swims, a visit to an ancient site or a dinner reservation ashore.

Gourmet Dining on Morning Star

Food is one of the highlights of a private yacht charter in Turkey. On board Morning Star, the chef prepares fresh, seasonal menus with ingredients bought daily from local markets. Breakfast can be a traditional Turkish spread – village cheeses, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, honey and clotted cream (kaymak), menemen and eggs cooked to order, served with Turkish tea – or a continental breakfast if you prefer.

Lunch at anchor brings colourful Aegean mezes, salads and grilled fish such as sea bass or sea bream, while dinners range from slow-cooked lamb and kebabs to Mediterranean fusion dishes, finished with baklava, seasonal fruit and Turkish coffee. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and children’s menus are all available on request, and the bar can be stocked with your favourite wines, rakı, champagne and cocktails.

Famous Restaurants Along the Coast – Ashore by Tender

A private yacht lets you combine meals on board with dinners at some of the most famous restaurants on the Turkish Riviera. The captain anchors close to shore and the crew takes you there by tender. Around Bodrum, favourites include Yalıkavak Marina (home to Nusr-Et, Zuma and Sakhalin), the fishing village of Gümüşlük and chic Türkbükü with Macakızı. Near Marmaris and Datça, guests love the fish restaurants of Selimiye and Söğüt and the restaurants of D-Maris Bay, while around Göcek and Fethiye you can dine at Özcan in Göcek, D’Breeze at D-Resort or bay restaurants reached only by sea. Aren Yachting can reserve your tables in advance – essential in July and August.
