The best Bodrum yards are booking 12–18 months ahead. Access to the most experienced craftsmen is not simply a matter of budget — it requires established relationships. Material costs have risen approximately 12–15% since 2024.
Inaccessible seacocks: 38% of surveys. Electrical deficiencies: 55% of vessels over 10 years. Standing rigging past replacement interval: 40% of surveyed vessels. Elevated moisture at frames in 2010–2015 build gulets is increasing.
The Turkish wooden yacht buyer in 2026 is predominantly Northern European (UK, Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia) and Middle Eastern. Average commission budget: €600,000–€1.4M. Second-hand budgets: €350,000–€750,000.
