Whether you’re looking to spend five days, seven days, or several weeks cruising the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, there are numerous Bodrum yacht cruises available for you.
Located on the South West coast of Turkey, Bodrum features roughly 300 days of sunshine a year making it the perfect place to explore while you are in Turkey. While bigger cruise ships do travel the coast of Turkey, the best way to pamper yourself and get up close and personal with nature is on a Bodrum yacht cruise.
When you’re not enjoying water activities or relaxing on the deck of your yacht, you will have the opportunity to visit famous fishing harbors, popular villages, and even the remains of ancient civilizations. Not to mention that Bodrum is not only a famous Turkish Holiday center, it also housed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
Bodrum yacht cruises are anywhere from three days up to several weeks. Many Bodrum yachts have modern amenities, and some do not. Because they are not large ships like Carnival or Royal Caribbean ships, they will have comfortable (but small quarters), with clean en-suite facilities, showers, and hot and cold water. In some cases, the yacht may not have air conditioning, but every cabin will feature a perfect view of the sea and surrounding landscapes. Keep in mind that Bodrum yacht cruises are more for nature lovers and those who love to sail than those looking for luxurious accommodations, onboard entertainment, spas, and elegant dining options.

A Blue Cruise or Blue Voyage is the term used to describe taking a yacht on the Aegean and Mediterranean coast of Turkey. During your cruise, you will spend several hours cruising daily, and the other time is spent exploring or engaging in numerous water activities. When it’s time to dine, in some cases you will eat at a large table, outdoors on deck or in the dining area of the vessel’s “main saloon.� The meals are typically Greek and Turkish-inspired, and the cook prepares them. Besides the cook, the other crewmembers on a Bodrum yacht cruise include the captain and maybe 1-2 deck hands.
