Founded in 2009 by Mr. Rıza Karakaya, Naviga Yachting was established upon a rock-solid foundation of decades of luxury tourism expertise. From day one, our company has been driven by a singular, uncompromising vision: delivering world-class service quality, absolute comfort, and reliable maritime hospitality across the Turkish Riviera.

Born and raised in Bodrum into a prominent tourism-oriented family, our founder Mr. Rıza Karakaya is deeply dedicated to the economic and social development of his hometown. His profound local network and industry authority are anchored by his extensive leadership roles within the community. He served as the Chairman of the Board for Bodrumspor A.Ş. for 14 years and previously held active roles on the boards of directors for both the Bodrum Chamber of Shipping (DTO) and the Bodrum Chamber of Craftsmen and Artisans. This extensive maritime and commercial heritage forms the backbone of Naviga Yachting’s prestigious reputation.

Our Mission: Elevating Blue Voyage Standards

Our sole mission is to make our guests feel truly extraordinary and unique while exploring the world’s most breathtaking waters. Operating across the pristine western coasts of Turkey, the enchanting Greek Islands, and premier yachting destinations worldwide, we handle every single logistical detail with flawless precision. We empower our clients to focus exclusively on their vacation, allowing us to continuously elevate global blue voyage and luxury charter standards.

The Naviga Advantage: We Manage Our Own Yacht Fleet

What sets Naviga Yachting completely apart from standard yacht booking agencies is that we own and manage our own premium yacht fleet. The deep technical knowledge and hands-on operational experience we gain from managing our own vessels allow us to provide unparalleled support from start to finish. We offer expert guidance on:

• Selecting the absolute right vessel (Luxury Gulets, Modern Motor Yachts, or Trawlers) based on your exact needs.
• Designing tailored, optimal sailing itineraries and custom routes across the Mediterranean and Aegean.
• Crafting customized, five-star culinary menus based on your personal gastronomy and food preferences.

To maintain an uncompromised level of guest comfort, we work exclusively with highly trained, elite marine professionals. Through regular workshops and strict in-service training programs, we continuously push our hospitality standards to the highest level
