How to Plan a 1-Week Boat Holiday in Göcek?
Boat and Concept Selection:
- Date Range and Budget: June–September is high season and prices are higher.
Clarify your budget, travel dates, and number of people.
- Boat Type:
1. Gulet: A traditional and comfortable option with a spacious deck. Usually rented with a crew.
2. Sailing Yacht/Catamaran: Ideal for those seeking a sporty experience and the joy of sailing.
3. Motor Yacht/Trawler: Perfect for travelers who prefer speed and a luxury-focused holiday.
- Charter Type:
1. Crewed: Ideal for comfort and local expertise. All responsibilities and route planning are handled by the crew (captain, chef, deckhand).
2. Bareboat: Only suitable if you have the necessary licenses and experience. Offers full freedom and flexibility.
Route Planning (Classic Route Suggestion)
- Fethiye–Göcek: The bays of Göcek and Fethiye are close to each other, offering a flexible and stress-free route.
*(Fethiye–Göcek is the most ideal and activity-filled route.)
- Alternative Routes: Recommended for sailing enthusiasts and explorers — Kaş–Kekova, Bodrum, and Marmaris routes.
Provisioning and Preparation:
- Food & Beverage Provisioning: Weekly menu planning on crewed yachts is arranged together with the agency.
If your boat is bareboat, you should shop from chain markets such as Migros or Carrefour.
- Items You Should Bring:
1. Clothing: Swimsuits, bikinis, and lightweight, breathable summer clothes.
2. Footwear: Soft-soled, non-marking boat shoes and flip-flops.
3. Protection: Hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen.
4. Equipment: Snorkel, mask, fins, a book, and an underwater camera.
