Türkbükü Bay
A 24m sailing gulet for 16
Departure 11am, four coves, on-board chef from a Yalıkavak restaurant, photographer for golden hour, return for dinner ashore.
Private yacht charter
Captain, crew, kitchen — and the Aegean for an afternoon.
From a half-day gulet in a hidden Türkbükü cove to a week aboard a 40-metre motor yacht along the Lycian coast, we charter the vessel and we run the day — caterer briefed, captain briefed, photographer aboard.
What's included
We don't broker boats. We produce days.
Anyone can hand you a yacht. We hand you the day, with every variable held by a producer.
01
Vetted fleet
Sailing gulets (12-30m), motor yachts (20-50m), classic caïques and Bosphorus dinner boats — owners we work with year-round, not last-minute brokers.
02
Captain & crew
Captains with extensive seasons in these waters. Crew briefed on your guest list — names, allergies, languages, preferences.
03
Kitchen on board
Either the yacht's chef or a guest chef we bring aboard — a signature Istanbul rooftop restaurant-trained, a classic Italian fine-dining kitchen-trained, or your favourite Bodrum kitchen on a tender.
04
Editorial routing
Hidden coves, Greek-side day trips with permits handled, sunset anchorages timed to the light. Itinerary flexes to the wind.
05
Photographer aboard
Optional editorial photography by our roster of wedding-and-yacht specialists — quietly, all day, no posing required.
06
Insurance and paperwork
Full charter contracts, transit logs, harbour-master coordination, customs for Greek-side excursions — handled centrally.
How we plan a day
Four steps to a day at sea.
Most yacht days are decided in three days. Some take a season.
- 01
Brief
Date, party size, vibe (lunch / dinner / overnight), destinations — a 20-minute call is usually enough.
- 02
Vessel short-list
Three options, photographed, priced, available. You choose by feel, not by spreadsheet.
- 03
Day design
Menu, music, route, photographer, on-shore lunch if needed. We brief captain and crew in writing.
- 04
On-water
Your producer is on WhatsApp from boarding to disembarkation. Anything changes — wind, mood, guests — and we change with it.
