Crocus is a 40-metre motor yacht built in 2006 and refitted in 2019, chartered privately with her crew on the Turkish coast around Marmaris, Fethiye, Göcek and Bodrum, and to the nearby Greek islands. She takes up to 12 guests in 6 air-conditioned cabins (1 master cabin, 1 VIP cabin, 2 double cabins and 2 twin cabins), each with its own shower and WC. A crew of 6 looks after you: the captain, a cook and deckhands.
Life on board centres on the deck: a cushioned aft deck with a big table for long lunches, a sun deck with mattresses under an awning, a jacuzzi and a deck shower for after a swim. For active days she carries water skis, a canoe, a jet ski, a ringo, snorkelling gear and fishing gear.
In 2027 Crocus costs €9,000 a day in May and October, €10,000 in June and September and €11,000 in July and August. With 12 guests that works out at about €750 to €917 per person per day.
Similar motor yachts in our fleet include Deep Water (39 m, from €10,500 a day) and Alkonost (50 m, from €10,500 a day). Crocus has the lowest starting price of the three.
Her starting price is about 15% below the typical (median) price of the 7 6-cabin motor yachts in our fleet (€10,630 a day). Booking in May or October instead of July or August saves about 18% on the daily rate.

Crocus has air conditioning in all cabins and the saloon, Wi-Fi, a jacuzzi, a sun deck with mattresses under an awning and indoor and outdoor dining areas. Water toys include water skis, a canoe, a jet ski, a ringo, snorkelling gear and fishing gear.
The price includes the use of air conditioning, limited Wi-Fi, crew service, diesel and petrol expenses, and the use of equipment on board. Linen, towels, beach towels, and domestic water are also provided. All charter and berthing taxes, port procedures, transit log, and related formalities for shipping agents are included, along with yacht insurance (though it is advised to take travel insurance).
The price does not include APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), food and drinks, transfers to and from the hotel or airport (which can be arranged), optional water sports, personal expenses and requests, gratuity for the crew, port taxes and mooring fees in the Greek islands, and VAT.
APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is a prepayment system generally applied for luxury yachts and motor yachts. This payment is used to cover expenses during the tour and typically accounts for 30% of the total rental fee. Expenses such as diesel, petrol, port fees, taxes, customs fees, meals, and beverages are managed by the captain. At the end of the tour, any unused balance is refunded, or additional payment may be required if expenses exceed the allowance.

See what guests say after sailing with DE Yachting.
I had an absolutely amazing time on the boat not a single complaint. The crew was awesome and so accommodating, they really took their time to put there all into everything they did! The food was delicious and i had a marvelous time!!!
Our family just returned from the most incredible trip to Turkey, and it truly exceeded every expectation. The highlight of our vacation was our unforgettable week aboard Baba Can, which was simply perfect from beginning to end.
A huge thank you to Hülya and the entire team at DE Yachting for organizing such a seamless experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, communication was excellent, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process.
Most importantly, our captain and crew aboard Baba Can were absolutely outstanding. They made us feel at home from the moment we stepped on board. Their kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made the trip so special. They went above and beyond every day, whether it was finding beautiful secluded bays, preparing incredible meals, or making sure our family had everything we needed. By the end of the week, they felt like family.
Turkey itself is one of the most beautiful countries we’ve ever visited, with crystal-clear water, charming coastal towns, delicious food, and incredibly warm people. Thanks to DE Yachting and the amazing crew of Baba Can, this became one of the best vacations our family has ever taken.
We cannot recommend DE Yachting and Baba Can highly enough. Thank you, Hülya, our captain, and the entire crew for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We will absolutely be back!
