Quick answer
A straight guide to private yacht charter in Side from the operator: the real yacht options we run, how per-boat pricing works, and how to enquire and book on each product page.
A private yacht charter in Side means you hire one whole boat for your group rather than buying single seats. We run several private yachts from Side, Kumkoy and Alanya, from a compact VIP boat for couples to a premium motor yacht and a classic wooden gulet. Each is priced per boat on request. Browse the private boats in Side to start.
What "private yacht charter" actually means with us
When you charter privately, the boat is yours for the day. There are no strangers aboard, no fixed shared schedule and no waiting for a full manifest before you leave. We run these boats with our own captains and crew, and the itinerary flexes around your group rather than a timetable set for forty people.
The trade-off is simple and honest. A private hire looks dear if you're only two people, because you're paying for the whole boat. Split that same boat price across a family or a group of friends and it works out sensibly, often close to what you'd pay per seat on a shared trip once you count the privacy and the flexibility you get in return.
Our private yacht and boat options
We keep a real private fleet rather than a single "yacht" listing. Each boat suits a different group size and mood, and the exact capacity, layout and inclusions are confirmed on its own product page. We don't publish invented specifications here, because the honest answer to "how many people fit" and "what's included" lives on the booking page for each boat.
Private VIP boat from Side
Our private VIP boat from Side is aimed at couples and small groups who want the whole boat to themselves without chartering something large. It's the easiest way into private hire from the Side coast.
Private yacht from Kumkoy
The private yacht from Kumkoy suits medium and larger groups. If your party has outgrown a small VIP boat, this is the step up. Departure and pickup details are confirmed on the page and when you enquire.
Classic wooden gulet
Our private gulet charter is a traditional wooden gulet built for larger, relaxed groups. It's the choice when the day is more about lounging on deck and swimming than about speed.
Luxury motor yacht
The luxury motor yacht for a full day is our premium private option. If you want the higher-end yacht experience, this is the one to look at first.
Private yacht from Alanya
If you're staying further east, the private yacht tour from Alanya departs from that coast. You can see every boat that leaves from there on the Alanya departures hub.
Yacht options compared

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private VIP boat | Side | Couples and small groups | Compact, exclusive | Per boat, on request |
| Private yacht from Kumkoy | Kumkoy | Medium and larger groups | Yacht | Per boat, on request |

How private yacht pricing works
Every private boat we run is priced per boat, not per seat. You pay one figure to hire the whole yacht for your group, and that figure is quoted on request through the tour page. We don't print made-up private prices here, because the honest number depends on the boat, the date and the season, and it's confirmed live when you enquire.
To work out roughly what it costs you per head, take the per-boat price and divide it by the number of people in your group. A boat that looks expensive for two suddenly looks very reasonable across six or eight. For contrast, our shared per-seat trips start around EUR 20–33 per person; private hire buys you the whole boat, your own schedule and no strangers on board.

Hotel transfers and pickup
Hotel transfer is arranged as part of the booking. Guests are picked up from their hotel in the morning; the exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel, so we won't quote a fixed clock time in advance. When you book, tell us your hotel and we'll sort the pickup around it.
How to enquire and book
Booking a private charter is deliberately simple:
- Choose your boat from the options above, or browse them all under private boats in Side.
- Open the product page to see the confirmed capacity, inclusions and live pricing for that specific yacht.
- Send an enquiry with your dates, group size and hotel; we come back with the per-boat price and availability.
- Confirm the booking, and we'll arrange your morning pickup, with the exact time confirmed the day before.
If you're not sure which boat fits, tell us your group size and we'll point you to the right one.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a private yacht charter in Side cost?
Private yachts are priced per boat, not per seat, and the current figure is quoted on request on each tour page. Divide the per-boat price by your group size to see the cost per person. For contrast, shared per-seat trips start around EUR 20–33.
How many people can join a private charter?
It depends on the boat. The VIP boat suits couples and small groups, the Kumkoy yacht suits medium and larger groups, and the gulet is built for larger, relaxed parties. The confirmed capacity for each is on its own product page.
Is a private yacht worth it for just two people?
For two, a private hire looks dear because you're paying for the whole boat. Many couples still choose it for the privacy and flexibility. If cost is the priority, a shared seat starting around EUR 20–33 may suit better; if the day is about having the boat to yourselves, private wins.
Do you arrange hotel pickup?
Yes. Hotel transfer is arranged with the booking. Guests are picked up from their hotel in the morning; the exact time is confirmed the day before and varies from hotel to hotel.
Can I charter a yacht from Alanya instead of Side?
Yes. We run a private yacht tour from Alanya for guests staying further east. You'll find it and everything else leaving that coast on the Alanya departures hub.
