How Much Does a Blue Cruise Cost?

Private Blue Cruise prices in Turkey generally start from approximately €10,000 per week for a standard crewed gulet. Luxury and larger gulets may cost considerably more depending on the season, capacity, cabin layout and onboard facilities.

The charter price usually covers the exclusive use of the gulet and professional crew services. Food, beverages, VAT and some route related expenses may be calculated separately.

Because every gulet has different specifications and seasonal prices, the final cost should always be confirmed for the selected boat and travel dates.

Gulet category	Typical weekly price
Standard gulets	From €11,000
Luxury gulets	From €25,000

The prices above are general estimates. Actual charter prices depend on the selected gulet, travel month, route and availability.

What Affects Gulet Charter Prices?

Gulet charter prices are not fixed throughout the year. Two gulets with a similar length may have different prices because of their age, cabin design, crew size, equipment and service level.

Travel Month

July and August are normally the most expensive months for a Blue Cruise in Turkey. June and September offer warm weather and may provide better prices, while April, May and October are usually more affordable.

Gulet Category

Standard gulets provide comfortable cabins, outdoor dining areas and professional crew service at a more accessible price. Luxury gulets usually include larger cabins, spacious deck areas, modern interiors, more equipment and a higher level of onboard service.

Number of Cabins and Guests

Larger gulets with more cabins generally have higher weekly charter prices. However, the cost per person may become more attractive when the total price is shared by a larger private group.

Bodrum and Gocek are among the most popular departure regions for private Blue Cruises. The selected route may affect fuel use, marina costs and port expenses, especially when the itinerary includes long distances or Greek islands.

Onboard Services
