The Turkish Aegean has a way of making you forget the rest of the world exists. Cobalt bays that barely appear on maps, ancient ruins glimpsed from a sundeck at golden hour, the smell of pine forests drifting offshore. It's the kind of coastline that rewards those who explore it slowly — and slowly, aboard a beautifully appointed gulet, is exactly how we'd recommend doing it.
We're pleased to share availability on two outstanding vessels for a Türkiye yacht charter this summer and autumn: Belgin Sultan and Tosca. Both are sailing the Turkish coast from July through October 2026, and both represent something genuinely worth getting excited about.
Belgin Sultan — Silent Luxury for Ten
Five cabins. Ten guests. An atmosphere that feels — and this is the only way to put it — more like a private home on the water than a charter yacht. Belgin Sultan has a distinct identity built around restraint and refinement. Nothing shouts. Everything simply is.
The layout is thoughtfully conceived: a spacious flybridge for morning coffees and late-night stargazing, a deck jacuzzi for those long afternoon anchoring stops, and a bright, open salon that draws natural light beautifully. Crew zones are fully separated, which means you get genuine privacy alongside genuine warmth — a balance that's harder to achieve than it sounds. The anti-allergic cushion fabrics and high-quality textiles are the kind of detail you feel across a seven-night charter rather than notice on a spec sheet.
Her ideal itinerary reads like a greatest-hits of the Turkish coast: Cleopatra's Baths on Sedir Island, the honey-coloured battlements of Bodrum Castle, the haunting Lycian rock tombs carved into cliffsides above the turquoise sea. Frankly, there are few better ways to experience these places than arriving by sea and leaving when you're ready.
Belgin Sultan is priced from €25,000 to €39,200 per week plus VAT and APA.
Tosca — A Brand-New Build With Old-World Soul
Tosca is brand new — launched in 2026 — and she carries all the excitement that comes with a first season. Six en-suite cabins for twelve guests, mahogany interiors, and hand-finished joinery throughout. She's owner-built and owner-captained by a third-generation captain, which means the care that went into her construction is the same care that goes into every day you spend aboard her.
That provenance matters. There's a meaningful difference between a yacht managed at arm's length and one where the person at the helm helped design the aft deck. Tosca belongs firmly in the latter category — and you feel it.
What makes her particularly compelling as a luxury gulet charter option right now is her positioning. Comparable new-builds on the Turkish coast are regularly chartering at €80,000 to €100,000 a week. Tosca comes in at €27,000 to €37,000 per week plus VAT and APA — a gap that's, honestly, remarkable for a vessel of this calibre. She won't be priced this way forever. First-season rates on a quality new-build rarely survive the yacht's second summer.
Why Book Now — and Why September and October Are Worth Considering
August is nearly gone on both yachts. But here's the thing: September and October on the Turkish coast are, in our view, the finest weeks of the season. The summer crowds thin, the light turns golden and soft, the sea stays perfectly warm, and the ancient sites — Ephesus, Knidos, Dalyan — breathe again. Rates also improve. If your plans have any flexibility on timing, those autumn weeks are where the real value — and the real magic — lies.
A luxury charter holiday in Türkiye this season should begin with one simple question: which of these two yachts is right for your group? Get in touch with our team and we'll help you work that out.
