Charter
Pricing
There are several ways of chartering a yacht and different pricing structures for charter yachts.
The pricing is determined by the type of yacht, the
period you would like to charter the yacht and the
way you
choose to use the yacht.
The size and style of your yacht -yes, it is your
yacht during the period you will hire the yacht-
is the most
important prcing factor. As you might also know, there are
so many alternatives when you want to hire a yacht
for a cruising vacation. You might want to charter
a small size motor boat or a sailing yacht
for a bareboat or
skippered charter holiday, or you might be
looking for a luxury mega yacht for a business event,
a special
celebration/anniversary, etc.
The period you would like to charter a boat has also
an effect on the price. The seasons are generally named in
Turkey as “early/low” (April-May), “middle”
(June-September), “high” (July-August) and “late” (October-
November). The prices are the highest during high seasons in
Turkey.
Motor yacht
or sailing yacht bareboat or skippered charter
rates never include the costs like fuel, food,
drinks, transit log, harbour fees and airport transfers.
These are always extra. The prices include the boat,
boat
insurance and base marina fees.
If you do not have a skipper’s license or if you are
not experienced enough for bareboat chartering, you
can
always hire a skipper to accompany you during your
trip. The skipper fees are extra and added on top of the
boat’s price on a daily rate. This type of boat
rentals is called “Skippered charters”.
There is quite a wide range of crewed motor yacht
charters as there are so many alternatives of such
charter
yachts.
You can rent a 3-cabin motor yacht with a reasonable daily
or weekly price or you can hire a very large fully
crewed mega yacht at a much higher cost.
With luxury crewed motor yacht charter, the prices
usually include the yacht, crew wages and boat
insurance
and for the other expenses, APA is applied: (Advanced
Provisioning Allowance - It means that the estimated cost
for expenses are extra and paid by the charter client
prior to the charter date. It covers the costs like
fuel for
engines, provisioning for guests & crew, airport
transfers, land tours, marina fees, harbour fees and
taxes, land
tours, etc. All the expenses are listed in detail for
client's view. Expenses exceeding APA are the sole
responsibility
of the charterer.)
Private gulet charter
pricing is quite similar to crewed motor yacht charter
pricing. The pricing mainly depend
on the year built, size, number of cabins, category (standard
– luxury – deluxe), yacht with or without air-
conditioning and again, the charter period
affects the pricing a lot.
You can rent in August a standard category motor sailer
(traditional Turkish gulet) with no air-conditioning,
at a very reasonable price. Then your yacht is not a
luxury one, but you will have everything you need:
Comfortable cabins with en-suite WC/showers, good service,
good food, fun and an an unforgettable blue cruise
along the turquoise coasts of Turkey. The prices of such
yachts are also the highest in August which is the most
popular month for gulet charters, but still much lower than
the deluxe class gulets’ prices.
On the other hand, you can hire a deluxe category gulet which offers you more luxury than a 5* hotel’s, but, of
course, the cost will be higher accordingly.
The private gulet charter prices will include the
yacht, crew, diesel and harbour fees and port taxes.
Food and
drinks, fuel for water toys, private marina fees, airport
transfers and land tours are extra.
A cabin charter holiday is the cheapest way of
experiencing a blue cruise along the Turkish
Mediterranean
and Aegean coast. The reason why the prices are more
reasonable is that standard category gulets are used
for this type of charter and the cabins are rented
out separately. In this case, the weekly cost of the
whole
charter is shared by all the guests who participate
the trip. Otherwise, the yachts are in very
good condition and
delicious food is served during the week.
