Bozburun Marina lies in a small fishing village on the western coast of the Bozburun Peninsula, facing Datca and the Greek island of Symi. The harbour serves as a key stop on Blue Cruise routes and accommodates private yachts from around the world. The naturally sheltered bay provides good protection, though strong southerlies can cause discomfort. The bottom is sand and mud with good holding.

The marina has capacity for 125 boats. Quays surround the port with no laid moorings; yachts berth stern-to or bows-to where space permits. Considerable depths exist at the head of the harbour. An alternative anchorage lies just east of the harbour. Water and electricity connections are available at the docks, and fuel is supplied by truck-tanker. The facility includes showers, WC, laundry, Wi-Fi, and wastewater collection services. A fish market operates within the harbour area.
