Best Motor Yacht options in Antalya
From Antalya’s modern marina, enjoy the Med aboard our latest motor yachts. Pass the magnificent cliffs to Kemer’s luxury bays in comfort.
To charter a motor yacht from Antalya is to unlock the fabled Turquoise Coast with an unparalleled blend of speed, luxury, and freedom. This is not just a holiday; it's a sophisticated private journey through millennia of history, set against one of the world's most dramatic coastlines. Your yacht becomes a floating five-star base, effortlessly gliding between ancient cities, hidden coves, and vibrant towns, all on your own schedule.
The Lycian coast, stretching west from Antalya, is a long and breathtakingly beautiful region. The primary advantage of a motor yacht here is speed. While a traditional gulet might take a full day to cruise from one major point to the next, a motor yacht can cover the same distance in just a few hours. This transforms your holiday, giving you more time to linger over lunch in a secluded bay, explore the sunken city of Kekova, or enjoy the charming streets of Kaş. Add to this the comfort of air-conditioned interiors, stabilizers for smooth cruising, and a host of modern amenities, and you have the ultimate platform for exploration.
The motor yacht season in Antalya runs from May to October, offering a long window for a perfect holiday.
Depart from the marina and cruise to the spectacular Lower Düden Waterfall, where fresh water thunders directly into the sea. Continue to Sıçan Island for a private swim and lunch onboard. Spend the afternoon enjoying the sun on the flybridge before a swift return to port for an evening in Antalya's historic Kaleiçi.
Charters depart from Setur Antalya Marina or the Kaleiçi Old City Marina. Both are conveniently located a 30-40 minute taxi ride from Antalya International Airport (AYT). The standard check-in for weekly charters is on Saturday afternoon.
Motor yachts are designed for comfort and performance. Expect spacious sun decks, comfortable flybridges with dining areas, and elegant, air-conditioned interiors. Cabins are typically luxurious with private en-suite bathrooms. Many are fitted with modern stabilizers to ensure a smooth ride, and most come equipped with a fast tender and a selection of water toys such as paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and often sea scooters or jet skis.
Every charter motor yacht is operated by a licensed, professional crew who are experts in the region and responsible for your safety. The yachts are fully insured and comply with all maritime safety regulations. It is essential to respect the captain’s authority, especially concerning safety and weather-related itinerary adjustments.
Speed is the key advantage. The Antalya to Kekova coastline is extensive, and a motor yacht allows you to cover distances quickly and comfortably. This means less time cruising and more time to swim, relax, or explore ancient sites like Phaselis and Simena Castle.
While the base charter fee can be comparable, the primary cost difference is fuel. Motor yachts consume significantly more fuel than sailing vessels. This is factored into the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) and should be discussed with your broker.
Most charter motor yachts in the region have a comfortable cruising speed of 15-25 knots. This allows you to travel between destinations like Kemer and Kaş in a matter of hours, rather than a full day of sailing.
Yes, they are an excellent choice. Many are equipped with stabilizers that reduce roll, providing a very smooth experience. They also offer plenty of amenities, comfortable cabins, and often a range of water toys to keep everyone entertained.
Absolutely. When you are in Kaş, the Greek island of Kastellorizo is just a short trip away. A motor yacht makes this a very easy and popular day excursion, provided you have the necessary passports and any required visas. This must be arranged in advance.
No. Virtually all motor yacht charters in this category come with a professional and experienced crew, including a captain and stewardess/deckhand. Your job is simply to relax and enjoy the journey.
The APA is a budget you provide upfront, typically 25-30% of the charter fee. The captain uses this to cover all your expenses, including fuel, food, drinks, and marina fees. They will keep a running tally, and any unspent funds are returned to you at the end of the charter.
Standard amenities typically include air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, sophisticated entertainment systems, a tender for going ashore, and sunbathing areas on the bow and flybridge. Many also come with water toys like paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and sometimes jet skis or sea scooters.
Outline your ideal trip along the Lycian coast. Decide who is traveling and what your priorities are-be it historical exploration, water sports, or pure relaxation.
Work with a charter broker to find a motor yacht that fits your group size, style, and desired amenities. Review layouts, photos, and crew profiles.
Leverage the speed of a motor yacht. Plan a detailed itinerary with your captain, including must-see ancient sites, secluded bays, and perhaps a hop over to a Greek island.
Confirm your booking by signing the charter agreement and paying the deposit. This contract will formalize all aspects of your trip, including costs and dates.
Complete detailed preference sheets for your group's food, drinks, and any special requests. Discuss activity levels and interests so the crew can tailor the service.
Fly into Antalya (AYT) and take a pre-arranged transfer to the marina. Your crew will welcome you aboard, provide a tour and safety briefing, and your luxury adventure will begin.
