Ultra-luxury yachts welcomed in Turkish resort

Bodrum, one of the favorite holiday centers of Turkey’s Aegean coasts, has become a frequent destination for million-dollar ultra-luxury yachts this summer.

Many mega yachts belonging to billionaire business people have settled in the Aegean province of Muğla’s Bodrum bays, where the blue and the green meet.

Guests on luxury yachts anchored in resort bays such as Karaada, Bitez, Torba, Yalıkavak and Göltürkbükü enjoy the natural scenic beauty in a quiet and peaceful environment, often in glorious sunshine.

The 68-meter-long “Lady Christine,” which has both a heliport and a helicopter on it, the 75-meter-long “Arrow,” with the Cayman flag, and the “Al Lusail,” one of the world’s leading yachts, stood out as soon as they reached the Bodrum coast.

The 140-meter-long “Scheherazade,” and the ultra 164-meter luxury yacht “Eclipse,” owned by Roman Abramovich, who is the owner of the English, and London based football team Chelsea, were among the yachts anchored at the Bodrum shores. Each striking in their size and aesthetics, some of the super-luxury yachts were viewed with the help of drones as well.

Referring to the fact that Bodrum is able to meet all the requests of yachts from the land such as fuel, water and food, Orhan Dinç, a maritime trade expert, noted that the district also offered guests a peaceful, safe and isolated holiday environment.

There has been an increase in the number of mega yachts compared to last year despite the Corona Virus pandemic which has taken its toll globally both in lives and also hitting Countries hard financially, and this increase will likely be continued, according to Dinç.

We feel that the pandemic itself is encouraging those who can to buy mega yachts for the simple fact that they can isolate, and remain safe and healthy. Maybe floating sanctuaries is the way forward!
