The New Holiday Trend of Expats: Yacht Charter

We know that you get tired of vacationing in similar hotels and beaches every year. How about discovering the beauties of the Aegean or Istanbul by chartering a yacht?

A unique experience for expats who miss their homeland

“As a Turk who has lived in Germany for many years, I always think the same thing during summer holidays. Yes, we can't find the sun, sea and nature anywhere else here. It is impossible for us to get enough of that feeling of being in our homeland and the beauties of our Anatolia. However, we are also tired of spending vacations at similar hotels and beaches every year.”

We often hear similar opinions from our expatriates who live all over Europe, such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium, and who at least say that they should be satisfied with their homeland during the holidays. After satisfying the longing with relatives in the country, it is no longer pleasant for anyone to experience similar holidays in crowded hotels. Our expats, who bought a summer house from their country, do not understand anything about vacation, as they spend their days cleaning, repairing and cooking. They are not at all unfair.

Therefore, in recent years, it has become more and more popular to charter gulet catamarans or sailboats, especially yachts. So what is yacht charter and vacation on a yacht and why is it so popular? In this article, we will tell you the advantages of renting a yacht and how you can rent it.

What is a yacht vacation? Why should I charter a yacht on vacation?

Vacation on a yacht is a type of vacation you spend on the sea by chartering a private yacht for a certain period of time. You determine all the participants on the yacht holiday. Thus, you can have a holiday in the standard you desire while protecting your privacy. You can choose one of the most beautiful coastal cities of Turkey for a yacht charter holiday. You can charter different boats such as yachts, gulets, catamarans and sailboats in Marmaris, Bodrum, Fethiye, Göcek and even Istanbul.

There are numerous advantages to chartering a yacht. Just for you and your beloved ones…

Flexibility and freedom
With yacht charter, you can create a flexible schedule for your holiday, and stay as long as you want in the bays, coasts and islands you want, in the peace of being completely free and independent. You can sunbathe on the deck, choose your own route, stay away from crowded tourist areas, and stay in quieter and more scenic areas.

A new discovery every day
When you charter a yacht, you will enjoy discovering Turkiye’s most beautiful bays, beaches, green islands and turquoise seas. But when you go to a new bay every day, you don't have to worry about making a suitcase or carrying a bag.

Comfortable accommodation
When you charter a yacht, you will experience the comfort of a 5-star hotel on the sea. You have your private cabin, your own bathroom. Some yachts also have extra facilities such as a jacuzzi. Your dining table is above the sea, on the deck in the middle of the vast blue. In addition, your kitchen, cook and service personnel are ready to serve on your yacht. Services such as refreshments, breakfast, lunch and dinner, beverage services are planned as you wish. You can decide on the menu, and you can even bring food items that can be used in the kitchen if you wish.

Either calm or energetic holiday
Your yacht has sound systems. If you wish, you can have fun as if you are having a party, or you can sip your drink against the sunset in a quiet bay. You can also do water sports on your yacht. You can snorkel, swim with the fish, canoe or surf (we recommend that you ask about the water sports possibilities on the boat at the time of rental).

Special celebrations and events
You can also organize events such as special celebrations, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, bachelorette parties on yachts. In this way, you can both collect unforgettable memories during your holiday in Turkey and spend pleasant times with your loved ones.

Kids love it too
Yachting is a fascinating adventure for children. They remember the fun moments on the yacht for a lifetime, never forgetting the beautiful moments when they return home. Also, when you are on the yacht, your children are always close to you, in front of your eyes. You will have a safe holiday and enjoy being a family side by side. While you are in Turkey, you should definitely give them this adventure as a gift.
