Marmaris is one of the south-west coast's great charter bases — a big resort town wrapped around a sheltered bay, with a large marina and an easy gateway to some of Turkey's quietest cruising grounds. A gulet charter from Marmaris puts the deeply indented Gulf of Hisarönü, the Datça Peninsula and the Greek islands of Rhodes and Symi all within a day's sail.

Most Marmaris charters are private — the whole gulet for your group by the week — though cabin charters and day trips are easy to arrange. The classic route slips out past Paradise Island and the coves of Kumlubük and Kadırga, then south into the pine-fringed anchorages of Hisarönü, with short daily hops and long afternoons at anchor.

From simple family gulets to wide-decked yachts with en-suite cabins and crew, the Marmaris fleet covers every size and budget. Tell us your dates and group size and we'll match you with the right gulet and a Marmaris itinerary.
