Magical Marmaris Yacht Charters
Leave behind the bustle of Marmaris and sail towards the serenity of the Bozburun Peninsula.
Enjoy serene anchorages, authentic restaurants, numerous historical sites and the live music that emanates from Datca's amphitheatre throughout the summer.
For a contrast of culture visit the picturesque Greek island of Symi where pastel Venetian houses surround a pretty harbour.
Alternatively, head east out of Marmaris and sail the Turquoise Coast towards Dalyan.
Take in the ancient tombs carved into the cliff by the Dalyan River, keep your eyes peeled for the protected Caretta Caretta turtles and discover the rejuvenating effects of a mud bath. This flexability makes the Carian Coast an excellent launch pad for a Turkish yacht charter.

What it's like
The Carian Coast in Turkey offers a vibrant charter experience, with a rugged shoreline, hidden coves, and ancient cities that echo millennia of history. Stretching from Bodrum to Marmaris, this coast is a blend of turquoise waters, pine-fringed bays, and heritage sites like the legendary Knidos, where classical ruins of temples and theaters overlook the sea.
Sailing this coastline offers charterers a unique blend of Aegean culture, natural beauty and historical sites. With the potential of heading to Datca and Bozburun or east to Marmaris and the Turquiose coast, you have the freedom to choose the itinerary that appeals most to your group.
A short sail from Datça brings you to the Greek island of Symi. Known for its vibrant harbor fringed with pastel-hued venetian neoclassical mansions, Symi is often likened to the Amalfi Coast without the crowds! As a standard clearing port with port police, Symi facilitates cross-border charters, making it easy to combine Turkish and Greek waters. While the customs process can take time, the use of a local agent streamlines the experience, allowing more time to explore Symi’s charming cafes, harborside restaurants, and narrow streets.
For beach lovers, the Carian Coast has a wealth of options, from sandy shores to rocky coves perfect for snorkeling. At anchor, take in the striking coastal cliffs, pristine sands, and quiet tranquility that make the Datca coastline a real treasure. By day, visit ancient ruins and coastal towns (Knidos, an ancient city at the tip of the Datça Peninsula us a stand out here); by night, anchor in peaceful bays or bustling marinas, dining on Turkish mezes under the stars. A yacht charter along the Carian Coast offers an unforgettable journey through Turkey’s coastal wonders, blending the past and present in one seamless experience.
