Yacht charter questions.

When is the best time to charter a yacht in Turkey?+

What is the difference between a gulet and a motor yacht?+

Gulets offer broad decks and a slower, more social style of cruising. Motor yachts are faster and suit guests who want to see more coves and destinations in less time.

With sheltered bays, short cruising distances and excellent marina infrastructure, Göcek is one of the most comfortable starting points for a first yacht charter.
