Every listing shows the crew, the cabin count and the real route. Prices are per week in high season, excluding fuel and harbour fees.

Boat types

Whichboatsuitsyou?

Four types, four different holidays. The difference isn't length — it's rhythm, noise, and how the day unfolds.

Gulet

€9,000 – €18,000

Wooden, wide decks, the crewed classic

Best for
Large families and groups of friends
Cabins
4–8 cabins, 8–16 guests
Pace
Calm — 2–4 hours under way per day

Its strength. The most shared space of any type. Built for long dinners, sleeping on deck, and a holiday where everyone stays together.

Bear in mind. Gulets mostly motor rather than sail. Don't expect speed — a gulet is built for being on the way, not for arriving.

Boats of this type

Motor yacht

€12,000 – €30,000

Fast, air-conditioned, eats distance

Best for
Those who want to see many bays in little time
Cabins
3–5 cabins, 6–10 guests
Pace
Busy — 4–6 bays a day is possible

Its strength. You can run from Göcek down to Kekova and back in a week. Cabins are hotel standard and the air conditioning works everywhere.

Bear in mind. Fuel is on the guest and it's a serious line on a motor yacht. The longer the route, the bigger the gap — ask for a fuel estimate with the quote.

Boats of this type

Sailing yacht

€7,000 – €14,000

Quiet, heeling, real sailing

Best for
Those who want the sea without engine noise
Cabins
3–4 cabins, 6–8 guests
Pace
Wind-dependent — the plan has to flex

Its strength. When the engine goes off the only sound left is water. The meltemi gets up in the afternoon; people come back for those three hours.

Bear in mind. The boat heels under sail. Not the first choice for groups prone to seasickness or with very small children.

Boats of this type

Catamaran

€10,000 – €22,000

Two hulls, no heel, gets into shallow water

Best for
Families with small children, poor sailors
Cabins
4 cabins, 8–10 guests
Pace
Balanced — sails well, motors comfortably

Its strength. Barely heels at all. The trampoline is an all-day playground for children, and its shallow draft anchors closer to shore than anything else.

Bear in mind. Marina fees count double for the width of two hulls, and berths are harder to find in season — decide early.

When to go

Sevenmonths,sevendifferentcharacters

The Aegean season opens in April and closes in October. The same bay in July is not the same place it is in May — the price, the crowd and the water all change.

April

Low

Sea 17–19° · Air 20–23° · Very quiet

Still cool for swimming, but the bays are completely empty. The coast is green and the almonds are in blossom. The cheapest month of the year.

Wind: Variable, occasional southerly

May

Low

Sea 19–21° · Air 24–27° · Quiet

Most skippers' favourite month. Swimmable water, heat that hasn't arrived yet, empty anchorages. The best value-to-experience balance of the season.

Wind: Light, afternoon breeze

June

Mid

Sea 22–24° · Air 28–31° · Building

The best month for sailing. The sea has warmed, the crowds haven't come, the wind is reliable. If you can travel before schools break up, choose here.

Wind: Steady meltemi, 4–5 knots in the afternoon

July

High

Sea 25–26° · Air 33–36° · Busy

The sea at its best, but you need to anchor early to claim a spot. Air conditioning and a generator stop being luxuries and become requirements.

Wind: Strong meltemi, 5–6 knots in the afternoon

August

Peak

Sea 26–28° · Air 34–38° · Busiest

The peak: warmest water, highest prices, fullest bays. Popular boats are booked in January and February.

Wind: Meltemi at its strongest

September

High

Sea 25–26° · Air 29–32° · Thinning

The month for people who know. The sea is as warm as August, the crowds have gone, prices have started to fall. The first half is still high season.

Wind: Meltemi softening

October

Low

Sea 22–24° · Air 24–27° · Very quiet

The season's quiet close. Still swimmable, bays empty, the light at its very best. Weather can turn, so keep the plan flexible.

Wind: Calm, occasional southerly

From November to March the fleet is in refit and the calendar is closed.
