Bodrum – Gulf of Gökova

Gökova's calm waters, pine-fringed coves and tranquil evenings make a classic blue cruise. The wind usually rises only gently in the afternoon, making this the safest route for families with children.

Plan and season

The suggested duration is 7 days, the total distance about 95 nautical miles and the departure port Bodrum (Yalıkavak). Best periods: April – May, June, July – August, September – October. The route is a starting suggestion; each evening you replan the next day with the captain according to weather and preference. You can see vessels suited to the route on the Fleet page with the port filter and send a booking request for a written offer.

Recommended vessel type

On natural-cove routes a gulet or catamaran with four to six cabins is best because it can enter shallow, sheltered coves. Easy to switch between sail and engine, these vessels let you keep swim stops long.
