A Yacht Charter Vacation Around Gocek

What is most notable about Gocek is its strict adherence to rigid development and construction regulations that are geared towards the protection of the city’s rich cultural heritage and tradition.

Gocek is originally a small farming village that transformed into an upscale holiday resort. The locals are still actively engaged in farming despite the heightened and fast-paced activities in the tourist centres. Local houses that are mostly located just a short distance from the resort’s famed promenade still have their verdant gardens where fresh vegetables are grown by the residents. The sidewalks along this section of the town is teeming with lemon, grapefruit, tangerine and orange trees, and this gives Gocek its unique panorama, a natural allure that is not usually present in other popular yacht charter destinations in Turkey.

The view at the waterfront is indicative of the popularity of Gocek in yacht charter circles. The entire bay and its 4 marinas are teeming with all kinds of boats, ranging from the ordinary dinghies to the impressive luxury yachts and superyachts.

Gocek Yacht Charter Enquiry

Hi Trina - I want to pass along our thanks for a lovely time on the Mare Nostrum. Not only is she a magnificent boat (new, well kept, lots of outdoor space, equal sized and lovely room with beautiful bathrooms) that is well equipped (jet ski, kayak, water ski), but the service and attention of Galip (the owner who was with us the entire trip!) and his team was truly EXCEPTIONAL!!! From meals that would be hard to find in the nicest restaurants to daily adventures experiencing the local flavors and personality, we could not have been happier. We have been all over the world with our family and we would have to say that our trip on the Mare Nostrum surely has been one of the best. Our hearty thanks!
