Tax-Free / Taxed and Transit Fuel Supply

Tax-free fuel offers a significant cost advantage for commercially registered and foreign-flagged yachts, but it requires careful legal tracking and declaration. Yacht Assist organizes tax-free, taxed, and transit fuel bunkering at all major ports in Turkey, fully in line with regulations.

Fuel types: which one suits you?

• Tax-free fuel: supplied without tax to commercial/foreign-flagged yachts navigating in Turkish waters, subject to certain conditions.
• Taxed fuel: standard taxed bunkering for domestic private boats.
• Transit fuel: allows a yacht to refuel at a port and sail on to an international destination.

What's included?

• Tax-free fuel supply and eligibility check
• Taxed fuel bunkering
• Transit fuel procedures
• Quayside and port bunkering organization
• Fuel declaration and documentation
• Supplier coordination and price optimization

How the process works

Before bunkering we check the vessel's documents and determine the correct fuel type based on its flag and certificate status. We obtain port permits, coordinate quantity and price with the fuel supplier, and complete all legal declarations during bunkering — so you secure the best price while eliminating any risk of penalties.

Why Yacht Assist?

We work with regional fuel suppliers on a long-term basis and pass the volume advantage on to you as better pricing. We can arrange same-day bunkering across all our service areas, primarily Marmaris, Bodrum, Göcek and Fethiye.
