About chartering in Göcek

Chartering in Göcek offers a tranquil, island-rich experience in Turkey’s sheltered Fethiye Gulf, where over 100 islets and crystal-clear bays await your motoryacht. The port boasts five modern marinas—including D-Marin Göcek, Skopea Marina, and Marinturk Village Port—plus a town quay for daily tours and Gulet charters. From Göcek, a day trip easily reaches Sarsala Bay for swimming, Tersane Island for Byzantine ruins, or the dramatic cliffs of Butterfly Valley, all within 15 nautical miles.

Göcek’s northwestern corner provides excellent shelter, making it ideal for relaxed motoryacht cruising even in summer winds. Most charterers depart from D-Marin Göcek or Skopea Limanı, both centrally located with full services like shore power, showers, and VHF access. The gulf’s aquamarine waters and protected coves ensure a peaceful night at anchor, whether you choose a marina berth or a secluded bay.

Whether you’re seeking history, nature, or pure relaxation, Göcek is a major yachting centre where every route reveals new charm. A 7-day itinerary can include Fethiye’s ancient ruins, Coldwater Bay’s refreshing waters, and Kapi Creek’s serene serenity—all accessible from this unspoiled, laid-back port.
