BondiYachting Fethiye & Göcek · Gulet Charter

We are a company that runs boats. We sail our own gulet through the bays of Fethiye and Göcek — and that is exactly why we build software, hardware and training for boats: because we needed them ourselves first.

Our Own Gulet

We refitted the gulet we operate ourselves — from her frame to her interior. The photos below are of that actual boat, not stock imagery. For a different yacht, a different route or a larger group, we can point you to the right option.

A chef on board

Our yacht chef is aboard from breakfast to dinner. There is no fixed menu — we agree what you want to eat beforehand and build the shopping list together. The crew does the shopping and provisioning is on your account, so what reaches the table is your choice, not a hotel’s. Special diets, allergies and a children’s menu are planned in advance.

The fish you catch

Rods are on board and the crew knows the bays. What you catch in the morning is on the table in the evening — you will not find it fresher.

An experienced crew

People who have worked these waters for years. They know which bay is calm at dawn and which picks up wind by evening, and they shape the route around it without you noticing.

Neta Pruva — Yacht Captaincy Handbook

A 244-page handbook we wrote for those studying for the GT149 course and the Harbour Master exam: seamanship, manoeuvring, navigation, COLREG, communications, sailing, STCW, meteorology and regulations — built to stay useful on the bridge long after the exam.

  • Study assistant: ask what you are stuck on and it answers from the book’s own sections, showing you the page.
  • Full-text search and clickable table of contents
  • Remembers where you left off; night mode for easier reading
  • Installs on your phone, reads offline — completely free

In the VR version we're building, you'll read the book seated in a gently swaying sailing yacht's wheelhouse, turning its pages with your hands.

Consulting & Services

A Full-Service Partner In Yachting

Bondi Yachting is more than a charter agency. From charter to brand-building, from crew placement to renewing a yacht's hardware, we cover much of what the yachting world needs under one roof — held to a standard the industry too often skips.

Why us

It runs on our own boat first.

Most of this was built because we needed it, not because we wanted to sell it. We run an active charter operation in Fethiye and Göcek — the camera system, the onboard assistant and the mobile app were all installed on our own boat first. We won’t recommend anything to you that hasn’t been through a full season with guests, crew and open sea.

We work the water

Live season, real guests, real breakdowns. We know this industry from the inside, not from a desk.

We install on ourselves first

A new system runs a full season on our own boat before it reaches yours. We find the weak spot, not the customer.

We have the problem too

Our products came out of something we had to solve, not out of a pitch deck.

Yacht Services

The side that puts the boat in the water, runs her and receives the guests. This is what pays the bills today and where our experience runs deepest.

Marine Technology

The boat’s hardware, connectivity and interior. Our flagship work sits here: building an owner a command and work cabin they can actually run their business from — from the hardware to the interior, all from one hand.

Command and Work Cabin

Live

A cabin aboard where you can run your business, hold a meeting, and be left alone. Hardware, acoustics, lighting and interior from one hand — we build the whole cabin.

Custom-Built Workstation

Live

We choose and build the computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse around how you work. Assembled for the boat’s power and vibration — not a box off a shelf.

Hi-Fi Audio and Acoustics

Live

Separate systems for the saloon, the deck and the cabin. A boat’s acoustics are nothing like a house; the speakers are placed accordingly.

Interiors & Design

Live

We rethink your yacht interior around how it is actually used, without losing the aesthetics.

Starlink and Network

Live

Internet that works in a bay: satellite link, onboard network, repeaters and the cabin’s connectivity backbone.

Marine Education

Where people who know the trade pass it on: a written reference, an AI-assisted way to study it, and practice in virtual reality.

Every line says what state it is in

“Live” means work we deliver today. “Prototype” means work we fit to our own boat first and mature in the field — we put ourselves at the front of the queue, not the customer.

Boat Tracking App

Your Boat, In Your Pocket

Registry, document expiry, anchor watch, emergency numbers and the boat’s own AI assistant. Nothing to install from a store — tap the link and it lands on your phone like an app. It opens without a connection too.

Boat registry

Name, flag, registration, MMSI, call sign, dimensions. One tap shows it full screen for an inspection, one tap shares it.

Document expiry tracking

Seaworthiness, insurance, radio licence, liferaft service. Days remaining are worked out for you; anything inside 60 days raises a warning.

Anchor watch

Marks the spot where you dropped anchor. If the boat passes the radius you chose, an alarm sounds and the phone vibrates. It assists the night watch.

Emergency and first aid

Coast Guard 158, 112, VHF 16 and the numbers specific to your boat. The first-aid pages open without a connection.

03:14
Anchor dragging

Boat is 70 m from the anchor — radius 40 m. Get on deck.

The alarm reaches your wrist

No separate watch app to install. An alert on the phone mirrors automatically to Apple Watch and Wear OS — if the anchor drags at night, your wrist is what wakes you.

This works while the app is open. Uninterrupted alarms with the phone fully asleep need a server connection; we switch that on when hardware is fitted to your boat.

The registry, document tracking and anchor watch work today and never leave your phone. Sensor readings and camera views are illustrative; they become real data once hardware is fitted to your boat.

IoT & Remote Monitoring

Your boat, connected

We bring everything about an owner’s boat into one app: sensors tell you what is going on, documents and photos stay within reach, and industry news comes to you.

  • Sensor install. Battery voltage, bilge, temperature, hatches and doors, position — whatever you want to know about your boat.
  • Starlink install. A connection that holds offshore — for the system to report, and for your guests.
  • An app built for you. You are not stuck with an off-the-shelf dashboard; we build the screen around your boat.
  • Cameras and motion alerts. If something moves aboard, your phone gets a notification — open the live view and look.
  • The boat’s document folder. Registration, insurance, survey report, invoices, warranties — all in one place. Open your phone and show them at the harbour office or to a buyer.
  • Photo record. Before and after maintenance, damage, work done — shoot and upload. When the boat is sold, this archive pays for itself.
  • Industry bulletin. Ministry regulations, port notices, what is happening in yachting — it comes to the app, you don’t go looking.
  • Alerts that matter. Bilge pump ran, battery dropped, the boat dragged anchor — you hear about it.

About

There Is A Name Behind It

Tolga Balcı
Founder · Author · Brand Consultant

I am in this business both at sea and at the desk. I refitted the gulet we operate with my own hands, wrote the GT149 handbook cover to cover, and build digital identities for brands in the industry.

In yachting, most work runs on who you know. Over the years I built a network I trust — from captains to surveyors, from yacht photographers to craftsmen. Work that comes to us we either do ourselves or take to the right person, but either way we stand behind it.

May your bow run clear and your wind come easy.
FAQ

Common Questions

Is the book really free?
Yes. Read it in your browser, download the PDF, or install it on your phone like an app. No sign-up, no membership, no payment.
What does the study assistant base its answers on?
Only the book’s own sections. It searches the book, answers from the relevant passages and shows you which page it came from. Ask something the book does not cover and it will say so rather than invent an answer. For exam and navigation decisions, the book itself, official regulations and your instructor remain the authority.
I want to charter a boat — how does it work?
Just message us on WhatsApp or Telegram. We talk through dates, group size and the route you have in mind; if our gulet fits, great — if not, we point you to the right boat in our network. We do not act like middlemen: we tell you plainly which boat suits your group.
I have my own boat and just need a captain or crew.
That is one of the things we do. For a season, a week or a one-off trip, we find people from our network who know the work, matched to your boat type and route.
I have a problem or project on my boat — can you look at it?
We can. Refit, interiors, navigation electronics, system upgrades or a pre-purchase survey — whatever it is, let us talk about it first. What we can do ourselves we do; what we cannot, we take to the right craftsman — and we tell you which is which up front.
I am coming from abroad — will communication be a problem?
No. We work in Turkish, English and Russian — switch languages with the flags at the top right. Guest and client relations is one of our services anyway.
