Question 1

What does Aurora Yachts Turkey arrange?

Accepted Answer

Aurora Yachts Turkey arranges private yacht charters in Göcek and the surrounding Fethiye–Göcek cruising area. We help guests compare suitable yachts, verify current availability and plan the charter around their dates, group size, preferences and budget.

Question 2

How does the charter enquiry process work?

Accepted Answer

Send us your preferred dates, number of guests, yacht preference and approximate budget. Osman reviews the request, checks live availability with the relevant yachts and returns with a carefully selected shortlist or the most suitable next options. You can then discuss the details before deciding whether to proceed.

Question 3

Does submitting the form confirm my booking?

Accepted Answer

No. The form is a charter enquiry, not an instant reservation. A booking is confirmed only after the yacht, dates, price, inclusions and charter terms have been agreed in writing and the required payment has been received.

Question 4

How quickly will you respond to my enquiry?

Accepted Answer

We review charter enquiries as soon as they arrive because yacht availability can change quickly, especially during the summer season. Response time can vary depending on the time of day and how quickly the selected yachts confirm availability. For a time-sensitive request, you can also use the site chat or message Osman on WhatsApp.

Question 5

What types of yachts can you arrange in Göcek?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your dates and group, we can research suitable motor yachts, sailing yachts and gulets from our local network. The best option depends on guest capacity, cabin requirements, cruising style, comfort expectations, itinerary and budget.

Question 6

Can I book a day charter as well as an overnight charter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both day charters and overnight or multi-day charters may be available. Some yachts are well suited to a private day in the Göcek bays, while others are offered mainly for longer stays. Availability and operating conditions depend on the individual yacht and season.

Question 7

Is there a minimum charter duration?

Accepted Answer

Minimum duration varies by yacht and season. Some yachts accept single-day charters, while others may require or prioritise multi-day bookings, particularly in high season. Tell us your preferred duration and we will check the most realistic available options.

Question 8

How is the charter price calculated?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the yacht, dates, charter duration, number of guests, itinerary and requested services. Seasonal demand and the yacht’s own commercial terms also affect the rate. We provide a clear written quotation for the selected yacht rather than presenting an unverified starting price as a confirmed offer.

Question 9

What is included in the charter price?

Accepted Answer

Inclusions vary from yacht to yacht. The written proposal will state exactly what is included, such as the yacht, captain and crew, and whether fuel, food, beverages, chef service, mooring fees, transfers or other expenses are included or charged separately. Please rely on the proposal for the final inclusions.

Question 10

Which routes can we take from Göcek?

Accepted Answer

Göcek provides access to sheltered bays, islands and anchorages across the Fethiye–Göcek cruising area. Your route is planned according to charter duration, weather, sea conditions, yacht capability and your preferences. The captain always has final responsibility for safe routing and anchoring decisions.

Question 11

Can the itinerary be tailored to our plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aurora does not treat every charter as the same fixed package. We can shape the route and daily rhythm around your priorities, whether you prefer quiet bays, swimming, relaxed lunches, more time underway or a balanced combination. The final plan remains subject to weather, safety and yacht operating conditions.

Question 12

Can you arrange food, drinks and chef service?

Accepted Answer

Many yachts offer a chef, cook or crew-supported meal service, but the exact arrangement varies. Unless the proposal states otherwise, groceries and beverages are normally charged to the guests. Pre-arrival provisioning can often be organised with advance notice, and any related service cost will be confirmed before the charter.

Question 13

Can children join a private yacht charter?

Accepted Answer

Children can join on yachts that are suitable for the group and itinerary. Please tell us the children’s ages when enquiring so we can consider layout, railings, cabin arrangements and available safety equipment. Children must remain under the supervision of their parents or guardians throughout the charter.

Question 14

Are pets allowed on board?

Accepted Answer

Pet policies vary by yacht and always require approval before booking. Some yachts do not accept pets, while others may apply specific conditions or an additional cleaning fee. Include your pet’s type, size and relevant details in the enquiry so we can check suitable options.

Question 15

What happens if the weather affects the planned route?

Accepted Answer

Safety comes first. The captain may change the route, anchorage or schedule when weather or sea conditions require it. If conditions materially affect the charter, the available options are handled according to the agreed yacht-specific booking and cancellation terms.

Question 16

Why arrange a Göcek charter through Aurora?

Accepted Answer

Aurora combines local Göcek knowledge with personal charter planning. Instead of sending an unfiltered list, Osman reviews the practical details of your request, checks suitable yachts and helps coordinate the charter from the first enquiry through the final arrangements. The aim is a clear, reliable process and a holiday shaped around your plans.
