Step into the Decadence of Gigayacht Elements

The second superyacht to emerge from turkish shipyard yachtley, the 262-foot elements marks the dawn of a new age for both its owner and his marine facilities., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

At an impressive 262 feet, motor yacht Elements is an inspiring yacht. With its notable SOLAS classification, and naval architecture undertaken by Alfa Marine in Athens, the yacht comfortably accommodates up to 24 guests and 19 crew within its expansive interior.

Originally commissioned to be built for an owner who made some minor changes before suddenly pulling out of the deal, Fahad Al Athel, owner of Yachtley shipyard in Izmit, Turkey , made the bold decision to continue with the build himself, hiring renowned Italian designer Cristiano Gatto for the interior, and opting for Lloyds and SOLAS classification. “I wanted the experience and training for my employees,” he explains. “We now have a really high-caliber workforce producing a fantastic quality of work.”

Elements features a classically styled displacement steel hull, and an aluminum superstructure with teak decks. The yacht is fitted with two pairs of stabilizers that work at anchor to increase onboard comfort, and is powered by two MTU (16V 4000 M63L) diesel engines, capable of a top speed of 18 knots.

Comprising a master suite, two VIP staterooms, four double staterooms, four twin cabins, and one smaller twin cabin, the yacht was developed as a “multifaceted, organic process” that influences every element of the interior, says Gatto. “ Elements ’ interior can’t be confined within the border of a specific style or feel. Opulence with a capital ‘O’ is the red thread throughout.”

With its own in-house interior workshop, Yachtley shipyard strikes a balance between in-house workmanship and subcontracted exterior suppliers. Enlisting the likes of Yachting Protection for all paint and fairing, and Vibrascan for noise and vibration study, the result is an oceangoing vessel of indisputable status, with a volume of 2,900 GT, and key features that include a beach club, spa pool, hammam, and an elevator to provide convenient access to the yacht’s four voluminous decks.

“ Elements is a fantastic yacht, I’m proud of every bit of her,” says Al Athel. “It’s very hard to achieve a yacht of that quality for that price, but I wanted to have the best of everything.”

Yachtley Shipyard’s floating drydock in the Basiskele district of Kocaeli, Turkey, has sunk during a yacht retrieval manoeuvre.  According to maritime authorities, the incident occurred on Wednesday, 13 December. 

Eyewitnesses from the scene have told BOAT International that 24 shipyard workers were rescued from the sinking floating dock and two people were hospitalised but remain in stable condition. 

The General Directorate of Maritime issued a statement underlining that the Kocaeli Regional Port Authority has initiated necessary procedures and administrative investigations. As it stands no environmental pollution has been reported.

The video captured by a bystander shows the dock’s cranes rolling down their tracks as one end of the dock submerged.  

Yachtley Shipyard, founded in 2005, focuses on building and refitting superyachts from 50-metres to 160-metres. The largest yacht to be launched from the yard was the 80-metre Elements in 2013.

Whether you’re after a journey into historic sites, a spot of tranquility, a touch of water sports, or simply some shopping, Turkey has something for everyone.

Turkey’s history stretches back over 5,000 years, and represents a unique blend of eastern and western cultures, boasting a rich archaeological legacy left over from classical civilizations and Islamic Middle East, with several locations of cultural significance now designated UNESCO Heritage sites.

Its strategic position between Europe and Asia has seen it act as both a conduit and barrier simultaneously between the two continents of Asia and Europe over the years. Over the centuries Turkey became more secular and Western-orientated, culminating in a reform of the Turkish language.

As a popular destinations for yacht charters in the East Mediterranean, there should be ample to choose from when it comes to crewed yachts for charter in Turkey. If you’re unsure about whether you want to book a gulet, motor or sailing yacht for your luxury getaway, there are a few things you should consider first.

Gulet Yacht Charters in Turkey

Making up the majority of the fleet in this country, a luxury gulet in Turkey can provide guests with an excellent crewed charter experience to explore secluded coves and ancient ruins in a more cost-effective manner, with a vast amount of deck space on board. Expect capped air condition times, specific hours of cruising included in the price and lower APA costs as you are mostly in bays, but expect higher fees for ports.

Motor Yacht Charters in Turkey

Guests can also select from a fleet of luxury motor yachts  in Turkey, mostly located in Bodrum, Göcek , Fethiye , Marmaris , and Bozburun . Complete with larger interior volumes, more powerful engines as well as better amenities on offer, it's a sumptuous alternative to gulets. However, this is usually paired with higher charter costs.

Sailing yacht charters in Turkey

As for Turkey sailing yacht rentals with plenty available throughout summer. A combination of clement weather, clear skies and plenty of showstopping anchorages create great sailing conditions in the region.

There’s something to suit every type of budget for a Turkey yacht rental. The overall price of a Turkey yacht charter vacation varies depending on a number of factors, including the type of yacht, the age of the yacht, and the month in which you choose to charter. 

• A Turkey motor yacht rental can range from $28,294 to $1.6m per week, plus expenses
• For luxury sailing and gulet yacht rentals in Turkey, prices can go from $21,013 to $147,091 weekly, plus expenses

May till October are the best months to cruise the shimmering Aegean and Mediterranean waters on a yacht charter. Yacht charter guests can expect here an average minimum temperature of 15 degrees from May, before peaking to 33 degrees in July and August. It still remains positively balmy come October, reaching up to 24 degrees, with comfortable sea temperatures averaging 25 degrees.

related articles

The majority of yacht charters in Turkey commence in the country’s southwestern marinas thanks to the excellent provision of facilities, unparalleled scenery, and convenient location to both regional and international airports. Vibrant Bodrum , the picturesque fishing village of Göcek , or the enchanting Çeşme , Marmaris , Fethiye , or Antalya are all chartering favorites.

For a less obvious starting point, you could choose the tranquil bliss of the Bosphorus strait near Istanbul . However, keep in mind you will have fewer charter options available in this area.

sample itineraries

Bodrum and Marmaris are popular points to end a Turkey yacht charter, thanks to their excellent array of facilities and close proximity to international airports.

The Turkish Riviera (also charmingly known as the Turquoise Coast thanks to its vividly-colored waters) comprising southwestern destinations like Fethiye , Marmaris , and Bodrum,   is by far the most popular area for chartering.

Fethiye Yacht Charters

Many begin a yacht charter in Fethiye , thanks to its convenient location to Marmaris and Bodrum in the north. Dominated by soaring cedar trees and pine-carpeted cliffs that tumble into clear blue waters, it's flecked with archaeological ruins and uninhabited islands, with plenty of bays to take toys for a spin.  Fethiye  yacht charters are also a great base for visiting one of Turkey’s most jaw-dropping beautiful beaches, Ölüdeniz (Blue Lagoon).

Göcek Yacht Charters

Göcek yacht rentals have been long adored by international jet setters. This fishing village located on a private bay is the entry to undiscovered coves and more than 12 islands of unmatched beauty. Boasting six well-equipped marinas (including two for superyachts) it’s brimming with cafes and tavernas. Before going off-shore, stop by for a traditional mezze platter or sip a cocktail as the sun's apricot glow falls on its shorefront promenades.

Marmaris Yacht Charters

A Marmaris yacht charter gives guests the best of both worlds. A superyacht haven, this buzzing town is a hub of activity: with a bustling grand bazaar, throngs of restaurants, bars, and shops lining cobblestone streets, and paragliders filling the skies above. But this is in dramatic contrast to the rest of the stunning Carian Coast which is within easy reach of Marmaris : secluded bays and quaint villages are dotted all along the Bozburun Peninsula . 

Bodrum Yacht Charters

Why are Bodrum yacht rentals so popular? It's a vibrant coastal city humming with nightlife and home to a large glittering marina as well as the landmark St. Peter’s Castle. Unquestionably a glamorous beach hangout, hip restaurants and bars sheltered by palm trees frame the chic Yalikavak marina.

During a Bodrum yacht charter, be sure to anchor at nearby Türkbükü Bay for a taste of the “Saint-Tropez of Turkey" and dance under a canopy of stars. Cruise further afield and you’ll reach the olive-grove covered Datça Peninsula , as well as the Dalyan- Ekincik  Bay, revered for its windsurfing opportunities. 

Surrounded by the Mediterranean , Aegean , Marmara , and Black Seas , it should come as no surprise that Turkey is home to a vast array of world-class marinas perfect for gulet or yacht chartering. It should be noted that whilst the Black Sea is replete with deep valleys, verdant mountains, and crater lakes, it does not usually feature on a typical yacht itinerary. That’s largely down to its wetter and colder climate, leading to few well-developed marinas. As a result, it does not feature in our list below.

For yacht charters on Turkey's Mediterranean Coast:

• Kaş marina : recently developed and has slip capacity for 450 yachts.
• Setur Finike marina: situated in the stunning historic city of Finike, with a 320 slip capacity. 
• Setur Antalya marina : renowned superyacht marina, slip capacity reaches 235 yachts.

For yacht charters on Turkey's Aegean Coast:

• Yalıkavak marina : award-winning with 620-slip capacity, catering to every possible yachting need.
• Çeşme marina: located in the illustrious port village steeped with history,  it can accommodate 400 slips up to 80m.
• Skopea marina : regarded as the original superyacht marina, it accommodates up to 80 yachts, with 110m yachts tied to a jetty.

For yacht charters in Turkey's Marmara Region:

• Ataköy marina: just outside of Istanbul's city center and known for its nightlife. 700 moorings up to 40m.
• Istanbul marina : located in the heart of Turkey, with 720 moorings for yachts up to 60m.
• West Istanbul marina: highly acclaimed, it caters to 600 slips up to 95m.

The Turquoise Coast is unquestionably Turkey's anchorage paradise, studded with emerald islands with golden bays lapped by beautiful blue-green waters begging to be explored. Here is our pick of some of the best anchorages in Turkey:

• Cleopatra Bay (Manastir) : located a stone’s throw from the beautiful town of Fethiye, this glorious sequestered bay yields a bounty of emerald-clear waters atop ancient baths, perfect for anchoring and an afternoon kayak.
• Fethiye : This port city is known for its exquisite natural harbor, vast swathes of deep golden sand beaches and stunning blue waters. The area also boasts an array of ancient rock tombs dating back to 4th Century BC. 
• Kalcan (Lycian Coast) : a gorgeous sheltered bay set within a charming fishing village against a backdrop of rugged mountainous scenery. Step ashore and explore this tranquil haven, which also boasts a plethora of excellent dining options. 
• Kekova (Antalya province) : this beautiful small island near Kas is the ideal spot to drop anchor for the night, which also happens to be the site of a rather unique ancient sunken city. Although a popular hotspot for tourists during the day, if you aim to arrive around 5pm, you’ll have the place to yourselves.

We strongly recommend booking your yacht charter vacation in Turkey with your broker at least three months in advance, as Turkey is becoming an increasingly popular yacht charter destination. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from.

This also ensures your broker has enough time to craft a personalized itinerary and secure a berth at a popular marina if you have selected one.

Turkey Yacht Charter Q&A

For booking most yacht charters, a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee is required upfront as a deposit to secure your chosen yacht. This is usually payable once the contract has been signed

Turkey is an increasingly popular superyacht destination, so yacht charter guests can rest assured that they will have boundless vessel options which will meet their budget criteria. 

Whatever type of vessel you ultimately choose, one thing to keep track of are the additional costs not included in the yacht charter base rate. For example, VAT and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). This is usually 30% of the charter fee, and paid in advance. The APA covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food and drinks, as well as any special requests.

However, gulet charters usually have lower APAs. For personalized advice please consult your yacht charter broker.

Not sure whether to pick a motor yacht, sailing yacht or gulet? Browse our site according to your chosen dates, number of guests, yacht type, features, and preferred onboard toys and we'll show you what's available and within your budget.

If you make a subsequent enquiry, a yacht charter broker will get in contact to provide you with a bespoke charter proposal.

Alternatively, get in touch with your  yacht charter broker directly and they can research the best yacht for you in line with your requirements.

The vast majority of yacht charters commence in southwest Turkey, with the most popular superyacht locations being Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Göcek and Antalya.

Unlike many yacht charter destinations, you also have the option of a gulet charter in Turkey. It is well worth considering if it may be right for you. Benefits include lower APA costs and considerably wide decks onboard to lap up turquoise-tinged panoramas that surround you. However, capped fuel limits and air conditioning times are common to gulet yacht charters.

Yes, it is possible to visit Greece on a luxury Turkey yacht charter. However, additional VAT and fees may apply if venturing outside Turkish waters. It is also worth noting that for convenience, it can often be better to visit Turkey and then Greece or vice versa, rather than zig-zag between the two. That's because you will need to provide documentation every time you cross borders which can be time-consuming.

For precise details regarding fees and routes to Greece, consult your charter broker.

Watch: Floating Dock Sinks at Turkish Superyacht Yard

In a startling incident, a floating dock sinks at a Turkish superyacht yard after experiencing a critical failure. This unexpected event, reported by Turkey’s General Directorate of Maritime Affairs, occurred at the Yachtley shipyard, located in Kocaeli’s free zone, known for its ship repair and newbuild capabilities.

Docking Procedure Goes Awry

The incident unfolded during a routine docking procedure, as a yacht was being brought into the 145-meter midsize dock for repairs. The directorate’s report indicates that the vessel intended for maintenance managed to remain unscathed during the incident. In a fortunate turn of events, all 24 workers who were on the drydock at the time were rescued safely, averting potential human tragedy.

Eyewitness Accounts and Bystander Footage

Dramatic scenes captured by bystanders and shared widely on social media depict the moment the floating drydock began to fail. Videos show the dock’s twin cranes dramatically rolling down their tracks as the structure slowly submerged.

Further images from the scene reveal that the drydock settled in relatively shallow water, leaving the crane booms partially visible above the surface.

Investigation and Environmental Concerns

Following this incident, the Kocaeli Regional Port Authority has initiated an administrative investigation to ascertain the cause of the sinking. In the immediate aftermath, there were no reports of environmental pollution. However, local media drone footage showed a slick on the water, raising concerns about potential environmental impact.

The Bigger Picture: Safety and Environment

This incident at Yachtley’s facility brings to light the critical issues of safety and environmental protection in maritime operations. The successful rescue of the workers highlights the importance of emergency response readiness in such facilities. However, the subsequent slick indicates that even with no immediate pollution reports, the long-term environmental implications of such incidents cannot be overlooked.

A Call for Enhanced Safety Measures

As the investigation into the cause of the floating drydock sinking continues, this event serves as a stark reminder of the risks inherent in maritime industries. It underscores the need for stringent safety protocols and environmental safeguards, especially in high-stakes operations like those conducted in shipyards. The maritime community will be closely watching the outcomes of the investigation, hoping to learn valuable lessons that can prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Watch: 145-Meter Floating Dock Sank At Yachtley Shipyard in Turkey

A 145-meter floating dock sank recently at Yachtley Shipyard in Kocaeli, Turkey, while a yacht retrieval operation was underway. The accident happened while a ship was being loaded onto the dock, causing it to submerge.

Fortunately, all 24 employees on duty were saved and taken to safety. With a 4,500-ton capacity, the floating dock was a valuable asset to the shipyard in Turkey.

The Kocaeli Regional Port Authority launched administrative investigations despite the sinking and found that the ship that was supposed to be repaired escaped unharmed. A dramatic bystander video of the rescue effort showed the dock’s twin cranes descending as one end sank below the water’s surface.

Yachtley Shipyard was founded in 2005 and has extensive in-house capabilities that cover everything from initial steel cutting to interior finishing and yacht outfitting. The shipyard has an administration building, a production building, and two assembly hangars.

The Kocaeli Regional Port Authority verified that no reports of environmental pollution had been made after the incident. On the other hand, local media’s drone footage showed a slick near the sinking.

The authorities have highlighted the importance of protecting both human safety and the marine environment as they continue to look into the circumstances surrounding the floating dock’s sinking.
