There is hardly a person in the world who has never dreamed of being on a real sailing or motor yacht, in the rays of the warm southern sun, blown by a fresh sea breeze ...

Turkey easily makes this fabulous picture real, thanks to marinas scattered here and there in abundance - harbors specially equipped for yachting. They are in Antalya, Alanya, Mugla, but most of the marinas are in Istanbul, which we will talk about today.

The city between three seas is a yachtsman's dream In recent years, the trend of marine tourism is gaining more and more popularity. This applies to both cruises on liners and holidays on your own or rented yacht. Yachts, I must say, are different, with a motor and sails, large and small. The main thing is that all of them are available to tourists in Istanbul, and they are concentrated in marinas.

Note that for Istanbul, yachts and boats are not only entertainment, but also a very popular form of transport. Simply because the two parts of the city are separated by the Bosphorus. Plus, there are several islands and remote harbors around, specially equipped for recreation.

There are also many rivers in Turkey that come directly to the private piers of villas. There are various villas on the Expert Property website, but if you are looking for an option with your own berth, it is better to contact our consultants. They are interesting not only as a place for tourism, but also in terms of passive rental income - villas are incredibly popular this season.

However, for a wider audience that is not ready to buy or rent a villa, it is enough to come to Istanbul, rent or purchase housing in an apartment building overlooking the marina, and then rent a yacht directly.

One day of pleasure on a sailing yacht will cost from $500, and on a motor yacht - from $800. Although it all depends on the class and comfort of the vessel. For someone who has dreamed of this since childhood, after reading adventure novels watching movies, is that a high price to pay?

The demand for yachts and the constant increase in the number of marinas in Istanbul shows us that thousands of people from all over Europe and Asia have already found their way to their dream by the sea.
