Boat rental in Kaş: compare every platform

Kaş (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.

Only 18 offers, but nothing under €480: the tightest catalogue

Reading of 26 August 2026 for a 25 September outing: 18 offers, median €1,207 per day, first offer at €480, the dearest at €7,200. Kaş is the mirror image of Korčula among this week’s ten readings: the smallest catalogue, the highest median, but the narrowest spread — a 1-to-15 ratio only, where Palermo reaches 1-to-127. In other words, nothing cheap rents in Kaş, but nothing absurd does either. The yacht comes out at a €2,400 median across 5 offers (€1,750 to €7,200) and the sailboat at €1,100 across 3 offers — three times dearer than in Lavrio (€341), because the Turkish market mostly sells crewed gulets. The catamaran appears once, at €549. The RIB, the only affordable way in, comes from an earlier reading on 19 August: 8 offers, €336 median, €174 to €440 — we date it rather than melt it into the rest. See "from" price or firm price and choosing the right platform.

Three harbours beside the village, then nothing for 26 km

Kaş concentrates everything in a tiny space (OpenStreetMap records): Kaş Limanı 300 m from the centre, Setur Kaş Marina at 1 km and Kas Marina at 1.2 km. Beyond that the Lycian coast empties out: Çayağzı at 27.3 km and Setur Demre Yat Limanı at 31 km. That is only 7 marinas within 60 km — the thinnest-equipped coast of our ten readings, far behind Vodice’s 80. Which is exactly what makes the area valuable: between Kaş and Kekova you sail a coast without marinas, with the sunken ruins of Simena in your sights. Those beaches are also nesting sites: a study by Aytaç Altın, Hakan Ayyıldız and Mehmet Maden, published in 2021 in Marine and Life Sciences, monitored the 9.2 km of Demre beaches — the neighbouring district, some thirty kilometres away — over the 2020 season: 368 loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) emergences, of which 114 produced a nest (30.98%), i.e. 12.4 nests per kilometre, dug between 11 and 63 m from the shoreline (see the study). One reason not to beach the boat just anywhere at the head of a cove. See the marinas around Kaş.

September in Kaş: +30% on paper, but across only 18 offers

The median rises from €563 for August outings to €734 for September ones, i.e. +30% — the steepest rise of this week’s ten readings. We do not present it as a rate rise: on a catalogue of 18 offers, a few small units leaving is enough to move the median, and it is the same composition effect as in Sainte-Maxime (+17%). The useful conclusion is methodological: on a small base, compare prices by category rather than the overall median. On licensing, Turkey in practice requires a recognised qualification for bareboat rental; most of the market runs with a skipper or local captain, often included in the advertised price — which also explains the level of the medians here. Our only license-free reading in Kaş dates from 29 July on a single offer: we do not treat it as a current price. Always check whether fuel and skipper are included before comparing.

Kaş's waters, in practice

The most unspoilt stretch of Lycian coast, facing the Greek islet of Kastellorizo, above the sunken city of Kekova. Wind-wise: westerly afternoon thermals along the Lycian cliffs, with glassy mornings as the rule.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Kaş marina, below the old village and its ancient theatre. The local classics: the Kekova bay and its underwater ruins, Kalkan and Kaputaş beach, and Kastellorizo on the Greek side. High season: from May to October, diving and kayaking rounding out the sailing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a boat rental cost in Kaş?

Roughly €100–250 per day for a license-free boat, €200–600 for a RIB, more for motorboats, sailboats and catamarans. Boat-Comparator compares the real prices published by the platforms at the time of your search.

Do I need a license to rent a boat in Kaş?

In Turkey, bareboat rental in practice requires a recognised license; most of the "no-license" market is skippered, with the captain often included in the displayed price. Frequently the better deal: the captain knows the coves and handles anchoring. Check whether fuel and skipper are included before comparing.

Which platforms list boats in Kaş?

Boat-Comparator queries Boataround, SamBoat, Click&Boat and GlobeSailor live, showing price, photo, rating and booking link for every offer.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Kaş?

On our reading of 26 August 2026 for a 25 September outing: 18 offers, median €1,207 per day, ranging from €480 to €7,200. By category: sailboat €1,100 (3 offers), yacht €2,400 (5 offers, €1,750 to €7,200), catamaran €549 on one offer. The RIB, at a €336 median across 8 offers (€174 to €440), comes from an earlier reading on 19 August.

Can you rent a boat without a licence in Kaş?

In practice not bareboat: Turkey requires a recognised licence for bareboat rental, and most of the "license-free" market runs with a skipper or local captain, often included in the advertised price. That is frequently the better deal, since the captain knows the Kekova coves and handles the anchoring. Check whether fuel and skipper are included before comparing prices.
