Charter in Turkey

[thommy]

try <a href="http://www.yacht-rent.com">http://www.yacht-rent.com</a> . It seems this agency
represents all relevant yacht charter companies in Croatia. A colleague of mine from club contacted
them and they sent him the list of available boats with prices as he required within a couple of hours.
As I can assume some more sites like <a href="http://www.star.hr">http://www.star.hr</a> and
<a href="http://www.yacht-charter-rent-boat.com">http://www.yacht-charter-rent-boat.com</a>
use the same yacht information database so you can contact them , too.

Hi, svebor. I used to skipper boats out of Marmaris 1990-95. There were no unusual hassles going to Greek islands. Some of the small islands didn''t have customs officials so Rhodes would be first stop. I hope you get a reply from someone more recently there if things have changed. I''m going back to work there but I won''t be there til 20 June.

This issue is already extensively commented in the topic "Transit Log costs Greece/Turkey". In my view, yachties can promote peace by regularly commuting aboard their boats between the two countries - Turkey and Greece - irrespective of the flag the vessel flies. This would sharply contrast the tragic stories of trafficking illegal immigrants from Turkey into Greece that we often read on newspapers.

I''m planning to charter a gullet in greece this august.

After making contacts with a few charter companies, the one wich seems to offer the best conditions is Bodtur Yachting and Travel.

Have any of you, or someone you know, had an experience with this company?

Thank-you

Rob

Hello,

I am having quite a lot of trouble finding something to fit my desired itinerary. Now I am wondering if it''s even possible.

I heard about the possibility of One-Way charter, and I am very interested in going from Bodrum or Marmaris area and arrive in Athens, while visiting various Greek Islands.

Anyone have any suggestions on how/where I can obtain more information on cruises that will work? And how many days onboard usually for such trip?

Thanks very much in advance!

How can you expect being able to rent a yacht in one coutry and deliver it to another, a fortiori from outside the European Union (Turkey) into it (Greece)?
Will it not be much easier to pass from Bodrum to Kos or from Marmaris to Rhodes and then sail one-way up to Athens. This is an itinerary just opposite the one you have to pay extra, hence you are entitled to hefty rebates and promotional offers, e.g. check on the following Internet address:

I have chartered with http://www.bluereefyachting.com before but in Greece, so I don''t know much about their yachts in Turkey. However I know they have yachts based in Gocek, Bodrum and Marmaris and also Croatia in response to another post. They were very helpful, reliable, low cost and their yachts were very modern. I would definitely charter with them again.
