Note: Some Bodrum-based yachts may require an additional fuel charge for the Hisarönü route. If applicable, we will always inform you in advance.

On the first day of your yacht charter blue cruise, embarkation begins at 15:00. We will welcome you personally along with your captain and rest of the crew. Once you have settled in and feel completely satisfied with your yacht, we will brief you on everything you need to know and answer any questions you may have.

Throughout your trip, you can reach us 24/7 for anything you might need.

You may choose to stay overnight in Bodrum Marina and enjoy the vibrant nightlife, or, if you prefer a quieter evening, dinner and overnight anchorage can be arranged in a nearby bay such as Aquarium Bay (Adaboğazı) or Karaada.

As the warm morning light begins to spread across the sea, your yacht sets course for Palamutbükü.

With its baby-blue waters and pebble-lined shoreline, it offers the perfect first stop of your journey. As you cool off in the crystal-clear sea, the gentle heat of the sun on your skin feels like a small preview of the relaxing days that lie ahead.

Just a short distance from Palamutbuku lies Hayıtbuku, where you’ll find what might be the best calamari you’ll ever taste. Reach out to us for the insider tip. 🙂

After enjoying a delightful lunch prepared by your chef, you will continue toward Inceburun for the night’s anchorage.

After breakfast service on board, it’s time to head toward Aktur Bay. Nestled at the foot of pine-covered hills, Aktur is a haven of deep-blue water and warm, sun-kissed sand.

Later, your yacht will continue to Bencik Bay for lunch. Here, you can unwind against stunning scenery, enjoy a refreshing swim in the cool, clear waters or have fun with light water activities. Overnight anchorage will be in Bencik, surrounded by its serene natural beauty.

Your captain will turn the bow toward Emel Sayın Bay, also known as Inbükü Nature Park, a heavenly cove often visited by the beloved Turkish classical music artist Emel Sayın.

For lunch, you will anchor in Orhaniye, where you might come across the local market depending on the day.

One of Orhaniye’s most iconic landmarks, Kizkumu Beach, offers a truly unique experience. This natural formation is a slender sandbar stretching nearly 600 meters into the sea, with water only reaching knee height. As you walk across it, you feel as though you’re stepping on the surface of the water itself.

There are several legends about how Kizkumu was formed; the most famous tells the story of a young girl who tried to reach her lover by creating a path through the sea with handfuls of sand, only to drown when the sand ran out.

Kizkumu is a wonderful spot for nature photographers and anyone seeking a romantic, almost surreal landscape.

For the night, you will sail to the sheltered village of Selimiye.

The surrounding hills are dotted with remnants from the Hellenistic period, including ancient fortification walls, watchtowers and old monastery structures. Instead of large hotels, Selimiye is home to boutique accommodations, small guesthouses and seaside restaurants serving fresh local seafood.

As you wake to the soft morning light in one of these stunning natural bays, breakfast will be served on board. Afterwards, your yacht will set course for Dirsekbükü.

Dirsekbükü is a highly sheltered and wonderfully unspoiled bay located in the southwest of Hisarönü Gulf. With almost no access by land, it is visited mainly by yachts and blue cruise boats.

Its unique geography provides excellent protection from the wind, and the sandy seabed makes it an ideal anchorage. The water is clear and calm making it perfect for swimming, snorkeling or simply enjoying quiet moments surrounded by nature.

Facilities here are minimal; apart from a small beachfront restaurant, there is nothing but untouched coastline. The tranquility and natural beauty of Dirsekbükü are especially enchanting during the early morning and late afternoon hours.

For the night, your yacht will continue toward Bozburun. Set on a quiet peninsula, Bozburun is a popular stop for sailors and nature lovers, known for its untouched coves, crystal-clear waters and peaceful atmosphere.

The town is also renowned for its traditional gulet craftsmanship; alongside Bodrum, it is one of the key centers where Turkey’s finest wooden yachts are built. Its small harbor is charming and intimate, lined with fish restaurants, boutique hotels and shops selling local handicrafts.

In the evening, you can take a leisurely stroll through the village and enjoy its authentic coastal charm.

As your blue cruise draws near its final days, your next destination will be Datça It’s a place far quieter and more secluded than many other corners of the Aegean.
With 250 km of coastline and more than 50 bays, this peninsula is a sanctuary for those seeking tranquility, natural beauty and untouched surroundings all in one.

In antiquity, Datça was known as Knidos, and traces of its thousands-year-old history can still be seen across the region. According to legend, Datça’s beauty was revealed when leprosy patients abandoned here not only survived but flourished, adding a mythical aura to the land.

The history of Knidos dates back to the 4th century BC. In antiquity, it was a major center of trade, seafaring and science.

The famous sculptor Praxiteles once displayed his renowned statue of Aphrodite here, celebrated as the first fully nude female figure in Greek art.

Today, the remains of the theater, temples, agora, cisterns and city walls can still be explored, offering a remarkable glimpse into ancient Carian civilization.

On the final day of your yacht holiday, you will cruise to Karaada after breakfast. Located just off Bodrum, the island is famous for its healing hot sulfur springs flowing from a cave, as well as its natural mud baths.

Nearby Meteor Bay (Meteor Crater), adorned with olive trees, offers a fun opportunity to try the famous “meteor jump.” 🙂

Dinner and overnight anchorage can be arranged either in the marina or in a nearby bay, depending on your preference.

Your blue cruise, Bodrum Hisaronu yacht charter itinerary, comes to an end, filled with unforgettable memories. After breakfast on board, you may disembark by 10:00.
