Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. When is the best time for a yacht charter in Turkey?
The prime sailing season runs from April to October. July and August are the warmest and busiest months. The shoulder seasons (May, September, and October) are highly recommended as they offer less traffic, pleasant weather, and ideal sailing winds.
2. How much does a yacht charter in Turkey cost?
The cost depends entirely on the size, type, and age of the yacht, as well as the season. Because YachttoGO operates as a massive marketplace, you can find everything from highly affordable daily boat rentals and bareboats to premium crewed luxury yachts tailored to your specific budget.
3. Do I need a sailing license to rent a boat in Turkey?
If you are renting a bareboat (a sailing yacht or catamaran without a captain), you must present a valid international skipper's license (like ICC or RYA). If you book a crewed gulet or a skippered yacht, no license is needed, as professional crews will handle all navigation.
4. What is a traditional Turkish gulet?
A gulet is a classic Turkish wooden sailing yacht renowned for its incredible deck space, large dining areas, and en-suite cabins. They usually come with a dedicated crew (captain, chef, and deckhands) and are the absolute best choice for a relaxing, catered 'Blue Cruise' experience.
5. What kind of food can I expect on a crewed charter?
Turkey is famous for its culinary delights. On a crewed charter, your chef will prepare incredible Mediterranean and Aegean cuisine using fresh, local ingredients. Expect amazing mezes (appetizers), fresh seafood, grilled meats, healthy olive oil dishes, and fresh fruits.
