Marmaris sits at the head of an almost enclosed bay on the Turkish Aegean, with three large marinas — Netsel by the castle, Yacht Marin and Marmaris Marina across the bay — and the second-largest charter fleet on the coast. The cruising ground runs both ways: north-west round the Bozburun peninsula to the Hisarönü gulf and Datça, or south-east to Ekincik, the Dalyan river and the Gulf of Fethiye. Dalaman airport is an hour and a half away.
Marmaris is the busiest resort on the coast, with the bazaar and the bar street behind the harbour, and the quietest bays of the Bozburun peninsula three hours out.

Why do some boats show no price?
14 of the 170 boats in Marmaris are on request — usually larger or crewed yachts, where the rate depends on the week and the crew. They are left out of every figure above.
How far is the airport from Marmaris?
The nearest airport is Dalaman Airport (DLM), about 50 km away as the crow flies; Rhodes Airport (RHO) is about 55 km. Transfer times by road are longer; most charter companies arrange a transfer to the base on request.
Do I need a licence to charter bareboat in Turkey?
Yes, a recognised skipper’s licence for a bareboat sailing yacht, checked at handover; but most charters in Turkey are skippered or crewed gulets, where nothing is required of the guests. A skipper is booked as an extra on the boat page.
What day do charters start?
Weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: handover in the late afternoon and return to the base the evening before check-out at 9:00. Gulet cruises and day charters have their own times, shown on each boat’s page.
Can we sail to the Greek islands from Turkey?
Only with the charter company’s agreement and customs clearance both ways, which costs a day and paperwork; most weeks stay on the Turkish coast, which has the bays and the restaurant pontoons anyway.
