Cruise the Turkish Coastline

Your yacht charter Turkey aboard Dear Lila opens limitless possibilities for group exploration along the Turkish Riviera. The gulet’s impressive size allows comfortable navigation of longer passages, making ambitious itineraries achievable without sacrificing comfort. Depart from Bodrum to explore the Greek Dodecanese islands, or embark from Marmaris for adventures along the dramatic Datça Peninsula. The vessel’s stability ensures pleasant sailing even when crossing open waters to reach Rhodes or Symi, popular additions to Turkish coastal itineraries.

For groups preferring calmer waters, the protected bays between Göcek and Fethiye offer endless anchorage options. Visit the famous Twelve Islands, where Dear Lila’s experienced captain knows exactly which bays can accommodate the yacht’s 32-meter length while providing swimming conditions suitable for all ages. Continue to Ölüdeniz’s Blue Lagoon, where the gulet anchors offshore while the tender ferries groups to the beach. The journey might include Butterfly Valley for the adventurous, or peaceful afternoons in Sarsala Bay for those seeking tranquility.

Large groups particularly enjoy the social aspects of passages between destinations. The expansive deck provides multiple gathering areas, allowing natural group dynamics to flow – some might enjoy card games in the shaded aft deck while others sunbathe forward. Evening anchorages become magical experiences as the crew prepares group dinners under the stars, perhaps in Tomb Bay surrounded by ancient Lycian rock tombs, or in English Harbour near Marmaris, where calm waters create perfect conditions for night swimming.

What’s Included & Pricing

Your gulet charter Turkey includes the Dear Lila vessel, professional four-person crew (captain, chef, and two deckhands), standard equipment, and base port fees. Transparent seasonal pricing offers excellent value for large groups: €3,500 per night during peak August season and €3,000 nightly in September. With 14 guests, this breaks down to just €250 per person per night in peak season – exceptional value for a fully crewed luxury experience.

The comprehensive crew service transforms your holiday into a carefree escape. Your captain handles all navigation and anchoring decisions, drawing on years of local experience. The chef creates memorable meals showcasing Turkish cuisine alongside international favorites, easily accommodating dietary preferences within your group. Two deckhands maintain the yacht in pristine condition while assisting with water sports, tender operations, and any special requests. Additional costs cover fuel consumption, food and beverage provisioning, port fees, and optional activities or equipment.

Why Choose This Yacht

Dear Lila excels in the challenging large-group charter market through its thoughtful design and proven track record. The cabin configuration – two masters, two doubles, and two twins – provides flexibility for various group compositions. Multi-generational families appreciate having master cabins for grandparents while twin cabins suit children or teenagers. Groups of couples enjoy the equality of similarly sized doubles, while the twin cabins work perfectly for singles or friends sharing.

The 32-meter length delivers benefits beyond mere capacity. Larger gulets provide more stable platforms, reducing motion for those prone to seasickness. The expanded deck areas prevent the crowding common on smaller vessels, ensuring everyone finds their preferred spot for relaxation. Multiple dining areas allow for varied meal settings – perhaps breakfast in the sunny bow, lunch under the shaded aft awning, and dinner on the upper deck beneath the stars.

The four-person crew represents the sweet spot for group service – enough hands to ensure prompt attention without feeling intrusive. This crew-to-guest ratio allows for specialized service: while the captain navigates and the chef prepares lunch, deckhands can simultaneously assist with water sports and cabin service. The crew’s experience with large groups shows in subtle ways – knowing when to encourage group activities versus respecting quiet moments, or seamlessly managing dietary preferences across 14 guests.

This private yacht charter Turkey particularly suits groups celebrating special occasions. The spacious salon accommodates everyone for toasts and speeches, while the deck provides dance floor space for evening entertainment. Corporate groups find the layout conducive to both informal meetings and team-building activities. Extended families discover that grandparents, parents, and children can all find age-appropriate entertainment while sharing meals and creating memories together.

Dear Lila’s 2012 construction hits the optimal balance between proven reliability and modern amenities. The yacht has been thoroughly tested over multiple seasons while maintaining contemporary comfort standards. Regular winter maintenance ensures all systems operate flawlessly, from air conditioning in every cabin to the generator powering evening entertainment. Book Dear Lila for your next blue cruise Turkey and discover how this exceptional gulet transforms large group travel from complicated logistics into an effortless journey filled with shared adventures and lasting memories along the spectacular Turkish coastline.
