How Much Does a Private Yacht Cost in Side?
A private yacht or boat in Side starts from €550 for the whole boat, not per person. That is a starting price: your final figure is a quote based on the number of guests, which boat you choose, the daytime or sunset package, and options such as a hotel transfer, food and soft drinks. Send us those details and we reply with an exact price.
The short answer: from €550, then a quote
We publish one figure, and we publish it honestly: private boats in our Side fleet start from €550 for the whole boat. It is the floor, not a promise that every boat on every date costs exactly that.
The reason we quote rather than print a fixed tariff is simple. A couple on the teak-deck motor yacht at sunset and a large family on the wooden gulet with lunch and a hotel transfer are two very different charters. A single number would be wrong for one of them. A quote is right for both.
What moves the price up or down
Five things shape your quote. None of them is hidden, and you control most of them.
- The number of guests. Children count as guests too, so tell us their ages.
- The boat. The flybridge motor yachts, the motor boat with the sun deck, the gulet and the wooden river boats are not priced the same.
- The package: daytime (10:00–15:00) or sunset (from 15:00 until sunset).
- Options: hotel transfer, food or lunch, and soft drinks. Each is priced in the quote, not part of the starting price. Our guide to private yacht extras explains each one.
- The date you want, which we confirm when we check the boat is free.
Why a whole-boat price favours families and groups
Shared boat trips sell tickets per head, so every extra person adds a full fare. A private charter works the other way round: you pay for the boat, and the group shares it. The bigger the group, the smaller each person's share of the boat itself.
For a family with grandparents and children, or a group of friends splitting the cost, that often makes a private boat far closer in cost to a shared trip than people expect, with the deck to yourselves. For two people it is a treat rather than a saving, and we say so plainly. If you are weighing it up for a large party, read how we match a boat to a big group.
What to send us for an exact quote, fast
The quickest quotes come from complete requests. Copy this list into the quote form or a WhatsApp message:
- Your date, plus a second choice if you are flexible
- Daytime or sunset (unsure? our day or sunset notes help)
- Number of adults, and children with their ages
- A boat you like, or 'please match one for us'
- Transfer: yes or no, and where you are staying
- Food or lunch, and soft drinks: yes or no; ask us about any other drinks
- The occasion, if there is one
What the quote confirms, and what it doesn't promise
Your quote gives the price for your group and confirms the boat, the meeting point (Side harbour or a pier on the Manavgat river, depending on the boat) and the pickup if you added a transfer. It also tells you how and when you pay; payment terms are set with the quote rather than published here.
Plans change on holiday. Every charter can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours before the start. The route and swim stops are agreed with the captain on the day, depending on sea and weather, so we never price a fixed itinerary of named stops. You will find the current starting price and boat-by-boat notes on our prices page, and the whole booking sequence in how to book a private boat in Side.

Questions guests ask
Is the €550 price per person or for the whole boat?
For the whole boat. We never quote per person, per adult or per child; the starting price is for the boat, and your final figure is a quote for your group.
Does the starting price include lunch and a hotel transfer?
No. Transfer, food or lunch and soft drinks are options you choose, and each is priced in your quote.
Do children change the price of a private boat?
Children count as guests in the quote. Tell us how many and their ages, and we price the whole boat for your group.
