What type of boat is best for Göcek?
If you’re considering renting a boat in Göcek for your next holiday, there are some things to consider when looking for the perfect vessel. It’s important to think about how much time you’ll be spending on board. If you’re planning a trip of less than a week, a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB is sufficient. However, if you want an extended sailing trip of a week or more, you’ll need a more spacious vessel with amenities on board to accommodate all of your needs. Catamarans and yachts are great options for a longer holiday.
If you want a traditional sailing experience, we’d recommend opting for a sailboat, however, they are notorious for swaying on the water so if you’re a novice sailor you should choose one with a skipper. For a cultural experience, gulet rentals are the best option since they are extremely popular in Turkey, and you’ll feel like a local while cruising on one!
