One of the biggest challenges facing many yacht owners who berth their yacht in Turkey while they are away is how to ensure that commissioned work and daily care is carried out correctly and on schedule. This is where Bodrum Yacht Servicesliaises with you and the contracted boat yard as well as overseeing the tradespersons employed to carry out assigned work.

Choosing the Right Boatyard is Paramount

Bodrum Yacht Services has extensive knowledge of the best boat yards and craftsmen to use for different types   and magnitudes of work. Whether you are planning a new construction, a topside repaint, minor electrical fault or a teak deck replacement, Bodrum Yacht Servicesensures that schedules are maintained and that all work is completed to the required standards.

Bodrum Yacht Services is independent of any particular boatyard. Instead, we use our local knowledge and experience to help you find the right yard for your yacht and your needs. 
 
Bodrum Yacht Services matches the right boatyard for your boat, depending on its size, flag and work requirements.  Services for winter preparation include:
  • Customs bonding
  • Washing down
  • Sail and bimini removal
  • Engine flush
  • Anti-corrosive, anti-freeze and battery maintenance
Bodrum Yacht Services arranges for quotations for required work to be presented for your approval. Because we work with a variety of suppliers, we can select the right provider for the each job at very competitive prices.

 
Whether you are sailing in Turkey mid-season or plan to drydock your yacht in Bodrum, Turgutreis or Yalikavak or Didim our year-round services include: 
  • Hull repair
  • Painting
  • Anti-fouling
  • Deck repair and replacement
  • Osmosis repair
  • Holding tank repairs and replacement
  • Electrical repairs
Our long term experience in the local marine sector ensures that you are presented with competitive quotations from the right craftsmen.  It is our job to ensure that each job - no matter how small - is completed to perfection and on time.

 
Choosing Bodrum and its many qualified craftsmen for your yacht's refit or design and construction is an excellent decision.  Bodrum has long been the center of boat-building along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast of Turkey, and in recent decades also provides excellent workmanship in steel and polyester in addition to the legendary wooden boats built here.
 
The Extra Mile
Frequently, occasions arise where material or parts integral to the job need to be sourced and obtaining the materials is outside the scope of the craftsman’s duties.  Bodrum Yacht Services ensures that the necessary parts, equipment and supplies are expedited to prevent any delays.
 
 
Bodrum Yacht Services offers a turn-key gulet design, construction, and delivery program.  Our job is to implement the design of your gulet with the right boatyard and ensure that work is consistently on schedule and within budget according to the specifications you have ordered.  We supply quotations for your project from reliable boatyards and estimate the cost according to the finishing you designate.  We update you weekly with technical reports and photos of the progress, and are in constant communication about decisions and choices to be made.  Twenty four hour digital surveillance ensures that you can see work on the yacht on broadband.

 
Depending on the size of the commissioned gulet, you can expect the construction process to take between one and three years.  The factors which will decide the length of time are:
  • size of the gulet
  • materials used
  • payment plan
  • fittings and rigging
  • inventory & finishing
