Planning a private gulet holiday in Turkey is one of the most unforgettable ways to explore the Mediterranean. From the turquoise bays of Göcek to the vibrant coastline of Bodrum, a blue cruise combines luxury, privacy and freedom in a way that hotels simply cannot offer.
One of the most common questions we receive at Hemena Yachting is:
“How much does a gulet charter in Turkey cost?”
The answer depends on several important factors — yacht type, season, route and onboard services. In this guide, we’ll break everything down clearly.
What Affects the Price of a Gulet Charter?
1. Yacht Category
The biggest factor is the yacht itself. A boutique gulet with personalized service and modern amenities will naturally have a different pricing structure compared to a standard charter yacht.
At Hemena Yachting, we focus on carefully selected boutique gulets that offer:
* Elegant cabins * Experienced crew *Comfortable deck spaces *Personalized hospitality *Premium onboard experience *
2. Season
Prices vary significantly depending on the time of year.
Low Season
(May & October)
* More availability * Calm atmosphere * Better pricing
Perfect for couples and travelers seeking a quieter experience.
High Season
(June – September)
* Highest demand * Vibrant atmosphere * Peak summer conditions
July and August are typically the most requested months for gulet charters in Turkey.
3. Number of Guests
The size of your group also affects the overall cost.
Smaller boutique gulets are ideal for:
* Couples * Families * Private groups
Larger groups may require bigger yachts with additional crew and cabins.
