The Kas region includes several notable yacht charter areas. Kekova is known for its sunken Lycian city, Simena Castle, and clear, shallow waters ideal for snorkeling.

Kas Marina is the primary and most well-equipped marina in the region with 472 berths - 312 at sea and 160 on land.

Yacht charter pricing in Kas depends on several important factors, including the type and size of the vessel, the length of the charter, and the season. Peak demand occurs during July and August, when Kas’s marina fills with elegant gulets, luxurious motor yachts, and spacious sailing yachts. For travelers seeking a more relaxed atmosphere and better value, the shoulder seasons - typically April to early June and September through October - promise pleasant weather, less crowded anchorages, and more competitive rates.

While one-week charters are the most common, choosing longer voyages often unlocks discounted pricing and allows for more customized itineraries along the stunning Lycian coast. Booking well in advance is advisable, especially for popular yachts, to ensure availability and favorable terms. That said, last-minute bookings can sometimes be found, offering flexible travelers the chance to experience high-end yachts at reduced prices.

According to Turkish regulations, a 20% VAT is applied to the base charter price. Most charters from Kas also follow the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) system, which is typically around 30–35% of the charter fee. This fund covers variable costs such as fuel, provisions, port charges, and other expenses, and is managed transparently by the captain, with a detailed report provided upon completion of the trip.

Kas’s prime yachting season spans from late spring through early autumn, typically from May to October, showcasing the region’s stunning Mediterranean allure at its finest. The height of summer, July and August, brings vibrant energy with bright sunshine, warm turquoise waters, and lively harbor filled with yachts and local festivities. For those craving peaceful moments, May and June have calm seas, blossoming wildflowers, and secluded coves perfect for quiet anchoring and intimate escapes. As the season winds down in September and October, Kaş reveals a gentler ambiance - the weather remains comfortably warm, the sea stays inviting, and a slower rhythm takes hold, allowing for leisurely exploration of Kaş’s historic ruins, charming town, and nearby islands by yacht.

Kas offers a world where ancient history meets shimmering waters and tranquil inlets. The warm sun, rich culture, and captivating landscapes create a unique blend of luxury and scenic splendor.
