One of the most unforgettable days of your life will be a day you spend by chartering a yacht on the Aegean coasts of Turkey, especially in holiday resorts such as Bodrum, Göcek, Marmaris and Fethiye, where the sea meets natural beauties. When you charter a yacht, you can spend a quiet and enjoyable holiday in the blue that surrounds you on all four sides, visit the surrounding bays and islands freely, do any water sports, anchor in the bay you like, and explore the untouched beauties by stepping on the land wherever you want. So, how do you spend a day on a yacht on the sea? Let's take a detailed look at the one-day yacht holiday schedule.
Attention! The articles here are written for a yacht with standard equipment. Do not forget that the comfort, service and technical infrastructure offered by each boat may be different. For example, some sailboats even have a jacuzzi waiting for you on the deck. In addition, the time zones in the article below are just examples. You can plan your day yourself, decide what you want to do and the time, and extend the time as you wish.
Enjoying the morning sun (07:00 - 09:00)
Waking up with the first light of the day and watching the sunrise on the deck of your yacht will be a great start. In these quiet hours, you can taste the delicious breakfast prepared by the yacht chef, accompanied by a gentle breeze and bird sounds over the sea. Breakfasts are usually light on the yacht. However, it would be good to start the day with freshly squeezed fruit juice, Aegean's famous olives, village eggs, local pine honey, goat cheese and other cheese varieties.
Deciding the first route and setting off (09:00 - 11:00)
After breakfast, plan your day and decide your first route. Since there are many beauties to be discovered on the Aegean coast, your options are quite a lot. Especially the bays, islands and ancient ruins around you will offer excellent stops during the day. Set your route, take the anchor and start enjoying the sea.
Swimming break (11:00 - 13:00)
Around 12 o'clock is the perfect time to cool off in the Aegean waters. Take your first swimming break in the bay you have determined and immerse yourself in the clear waters of the sea. Do not hesitate to try some water sports in line with your captain's recommendations, at least try snorkeling and swimming with the fish.
There is so much to discover in the depths of the sea that it will be dinner time without you realizing it.
Lunch (13:00 - 15.00)
After swimming, take a shower on the yacht and get some rest. Since yachts usually work with private chefs, your meals are presented to you as prepared. Different options such as fish soup, grilled sea bass, barbecue meatballs, appetizer plates, salads and desserts are offered. Take a rest after dinner and then enjoy the sun and the sea again.
New discoveries in the afternoon (15:00 - 18:00)
After lunch, start exploring the historical and natural beauties of the Aegean by heading to other stops on your route. With your adventurous spirit, you can go ashore from the yacht, visit the ancient ruins in the bay you came out of, or set foot on the green virgin islands. In addition, these watches are also ideal for swimming in the sea and doing water sports.
Sunset (18:00-20:00)
Spend some time on the deck to relax and enjoy the sunset while the tiredness of the sea has settled on you. You can make this special moment even more meaningful by sharing it with your loved ones. If you want, you can take a drink at the bar of your yacht and relieve the tiredness of the day.
Dinner (20:00 – 22:00)
There are restaurants with private piers for yachtsmen in many of the Aegean bays. Going to such a restaurant for dinner or having dinner on your yacht is up to you.
Whichever you choose, enjoy dinner with fresh fish, seasonal vegetables and fine wine.
Nightlife (22:00 -01:00)
After dinner, relax under the stars on the deck of your yacht. The sounds of the waves can put you to sleep. However, if you want to continue the fun, listen to music with the music system on the yacht and dance with your loved ones. If you wish, swim under the moonlight and swim towards the seaside. Night entertainment on the Aegean coast is quite colorful. If you want, anchor at a nearby marina or have fun at the famous nightclubs.
Midnight snacks (01:00-02:00)
Midnight snacks are one of the essentials of a yacht holiday. In particular, delicious appetizers, sandwiches, desserts and snacks from Turkish cuisine are ideal for suppressing your midnight hunger.
Bedtime (02:00)
At the end of this long and enjoyable day, it's time to relax in your cabin. Fall asleep in the comfortable bed in your air-conditioned cabin. Because the next day, new bays, new beauties and adventures will be waiting for you.
