Yacht rental in Antalya

Antalya (Turkish Riviera) is one of Turkey's major charter bases: sheltered coves, traditional gulets and prices often gentler than in the western Mediterranean. Boat-Comparator compares the major platforms' fleets live for the same dates.

A yacht day in Antalya is the full experience: skipper (sometimes a stewardess) included, champagne on ice, anchoring off the beaches everyone else watches from shore. Units from 15 to 25 metres dominate day charter.

Budget: from €2,500 per day, fuel often billed on actual consumption — an item that can reach 20% of the total, worth clarifying before booking. A professional skipper is almost always mandatory, and rightly so: they know every anchorage in the bay.

34 yachts out of 50 offers: Antalya is a big-boat base

Survey of 3 September 2026 for a 3 October departure: 34 yachts, a €4,171 daily median, from €906 to €10,810. Across the 139 bases where our surveys yield a usable yacht median, Antalya has the 2nd deepest catalogue, and its entry price is the 26th lowest — plenty of choice, and not at French Riviera rates. The decisive point sits elsewhere: the same survey counts 50 offers across all categories, from €113 to €11,000, for a €3,220 median. In other words, 34 of the day’s 50 offers are yachts: they make the base’s median, not the other way round. The other categories hold a single listing each that day — motorboat at €898, sailboat at €11,000 — figures we give as isolated examples, not as rates. To read a day-charter listing properly, see what a yacht day actually costs and the platform comparison.

What lies under the hull, between Lara and Manavgat

Only three departure points frame the city (OpenStreetMap data, ODbL): Antalya Yat Limanı / Old Harbor at 1.7 km, carved under the Kaleiçi cliff, Port Akdeniz at 11.1 km and Setur Antalya Yat Limanı at 11.9 km — five harbours in all within 60 km, one of the least equipped coastlines in our collection. On a yacht the exact pontoon is set by the operator and appears in the confirmation: check it, there is half an hour of driving between the first and the third. The seabed, meanwhile, is mapped: a study by Cansu Olguner and Erhan Mutlu, published in 2020 in the Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, tracked the Posidonia meadows of the Gulf of Antalya with a 206 kHz split-beam echo sounder and simultaneous check dives, revealing three major meadow beds between Lara and Manavgat; leaf height peaks in July at 80–90 cm, against 70–80 cm in April-May and 40–50 cm in January, for a leaf biomass varying seasonally between 100 and 1,000 g/m² and decreasing with depth (see the study). In October the meadow is therefore still tall: pick a pale sand patch to anchor on, not the dark green. See the marina hub around Antalya and the Kaş and Antalya by boat guide.

A yacht median that does not fall in the shoulder season

By departure month the category gives €3,955 for August 2026 departures (3 surveys), €4,176 for September ones (4 surveys) and €4,171 for October (1 survey). In other words: no shoulder-season discount on yachts in Antalya, whatever the fall in the base’s overall median suggests — that fall is a composition effect, not a price list bending. Two lines of this base are not published here because they carry a survey signature shared with several other destinations, so most likely a collection artefact: the RIB of 20 August (€174/314/441, six bases affected) and the license-free line of 13 August (€92, eight bases). We would rather say so than display them. On qualifications, Turkey in practice requires a recognised licence to go out alone: most of the market is skippered, with the captain often included in the displayed price — on a yacht that is the norm. Check whether fuel and skipper are included before comparing two listings: see starting price versus fixed price, crewed yacht charter, tips for a cheaper yacht and which base to choose in Turkey.

When to sail in Antalya

Antalya (Turkish Riviera, Turkey) — Crewed gulets are a local institution, often leaving from Bodrum, Göcek or Fethiye. April–June and September–October are the most pleasant.

The question hardly arises on a yacht: a professional captain is the norm and is often included in the displayed price.
