Crewed or Bareboat: Options for Your Catamaran Charter

To ensure your Turkish Blue Cruise is exactly as you imagined, we offer three distinct ways to experience the Aegean Sea:

  • Bareboat Charter: Take the helm yourself. This is the ideal choice for seasoned sailors who want total independence and control over their journey.
  • Skippered Charter: Sail with a professional. Perfect for those who want to enjoy the experience without the responsibility of navigation and technical handling.
  • Crewed Charter: The ultimate hands-off experience. A full team manages everything from sailing to gourmet meals and cleaning, allowing you to focus entirely on relaxation.

Understanding License Rules for Catamaran Charter in Bodrum

Chartering a catamaran in Bodrum on a bareboat basis requires a valid sailing license, such as the ICC (International Certificate of Competence) or RYA Day Skipper, and often a VHF radio certificate. For those without a license, opting for a crewed catamaran is a convenient solution. A professional skipper handles navigation, maneuvering, and all sailing operations, allowing you to focus on the route, coastal views, and islands accessible from Bodrum.
