Directional seasonal domestic yacht traffic in Turkey takes place from the coasts of the Marmara Sea to the south coasts of Turkey at the beginning of the summer, and the traffic in the opposite direction occurs at the end of the summer/beginning of the autumn. Considering the long distance and long sailing time along the routes of seasonal yacht moving, this study reveals whether yacht-carrying using domestic shipping can be feasible for yacht owners and ship-owners. Two groupings of port and ship selection criteria are indicated for yacht carrying: technical criteria and management criteria. Estimations are performed for selected sample ship and yacht model and selected loading/discharging ports. All of the voyage expenses are formulated and written in MatLab. The voyage costs of the sample ship and yacht model are estimated to evaluate the feasibility of yacht-carrying between the Bodrum and Haydarpasa ports. Whether the cost of yacht-carrying between the ports is acceptable depends on the number of yachts carried, the speed of yachts, and the yachts' type. The long coastline and current yacht traffic potential of Turkey mean that it is more effective to carry yachts on domestic shipping lines.
