Datca sits at the western end of the Datca Peninsula, one of Turkey’s most isolated and scenically dramatic coastlines, where the peninsula narrows to a sliver of rock dividing the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. A 40-metre charter yacht from Datca has direct access to the ruins at Knidos on the peninsula tip, the sheltered bays along the Hisaronu Gulf, and the passages across to Bozburun and the Marmaris area.
At 40 metres, the yacht carries eight to ten guests and provides the agility to anchor in Palamut Bay, the small coves east of Datca town, and the dramatic setting at Knidos where two seas meet. A crew of seven to nine handles all navigation, catering, and watersports, with Datca’s harbour providing provisioning and fuel.
Weekly charter rates for 40-metre yachts in Datca run from approximately 25,000 to 60,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance at 30 per cent covers fuel for the Datca Peninsula and Hisaronu Gulf circuit, provisions from Datca and Marmaris marinas, and all Turkish transit log and marina fees.
From Datca, the circuit explores Knidos at the peninsula tip, Palamut Bay, and the anchorages along the Hisaronu Gulf toward Bozburun, then continues east to Marmaris or west toward the Greek island of Symi.
