Sailing Area's  Turkey:

The Turkish coast and the friendliness of the local people will really impress you. At many anchorages you will find old cities, theatres and ruins, but also idyllic swimming bays where the sea appears turquoise blue and spring water meets with the sea. Romantic fishing villages will make you forget the hectic routine of your normal daily life. This area is a paradise: wooded coves cut deeply into the mainland and, since the Eastern Aegean has hardly any heavy industry, the sea is clean and free from pollution. The natural environment remains untouched and full of diversity, especially in the nature reserves of Gökova and the Hisarönü Gulf. This knowledge gives sailing, swimming and enjoying the surroundings more value, and makes your sailing holiday a true experience.

We can offer Bareboat, Flotilla yachts and Cabin charter from Bodrum, Fethiye, Marmaris and Gocek.

Turkey enjoys 315 cloudless days per year. During the peak of charter season, between April and October, the skies are blue and the waters are warm. In midsummer, charter guests enjoy glorious sunsets and long evenings, under gentle winds and still seas. With stunning coastline, dotted with hundred of coves and bays, and an endless myriad of history and culture to explore, Turkey has an undeniable charm and intrigue. A breath of the Orient lies over the villages and small ports. Shoe Shiners with gleaming brass boxes offer their services, whilst young boys sell simit (sesame coated bread rings) and glasses of tea from a tray at the roadside and in the bazaars. Men play backgammon in front of their shops, and sun-tanned farmer's’ wives in bloomers and colourful blouses trade freshly picked fruit and vegetables. The markets are an experience not to be missed. A great change after a day of sailing.
