Your honeymoon is the holiday you’ll remember most. In Bodrum, the most beautiful way to make it special is to spend a day – or a few nights – on a boat that belongs only to the two of you. Quiet bays instead of crowded beaches, the sound of the waves instead of restaurant noise.
Why a private yacht?
- Privacy: just the two of you and the crew – no other guests.
- Your own pace: you decide when to swim and where to eat.
- Unforgettable photos: turquoise bays and the sunset make a perfect backdrop.
Couples’ favourite bays
- Orak Island: a feeling of open sea in turquoise and navy.
- Aquarium Bay: crystal-clear water, ideal for snorkelling together.
- Paradise Bay: a calm, green bay sheltered from the wind – perfect for a long lunch.
All three can be visited in one day. For more ideas see our article on the most beautiful bays of Bodrum.
Sunset: the best hour of a honeymoon
Sunset cruises last about 3–4 hours: a swim stop, then watching the sun go down at sea and returning past the illuminated castle. This is the programme couples choose most. Details are in our sunset tour guide.
One day or a few nights?
- Day trip: for adding one romantic day to your holiday.
- Overnight: sleep on board and wake up in a different bay each morning – possible on our motor yachts and gulets with cabins.
Boats we recommend for couples
- Dream Of Angel: a fast, stylish and intimate motor yacht.
- Queen Of Angel: a relaxed day with a swim platform and flybridge.
- Monaco: a spacious, stable catamaran – for those worried about seasickness.
- Castiel: a romantic classic under sail.
When to go?
June and September offer warm water and quieter bays – ideal for honeymooners. July and August are livelier and hotter. May and October are cooler but peaceful.
Ideas for small surprises
- Flowers, champagne or a cake on board
- A special song at sunset
- A professional photographer or drone footage
- Romantic decorations in the cabin and on deck (on overnight trips)
