Turkey is perhaps best described as a large peninsula – with the Black Sea to the north, the Aegean Sea to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Turkey is inextricably linked to the sea and the country's sailing history dates back thousands of years. The earliest culture in contemporary Turkey began as far back as 6000 BC. Among the most developed of the early peoples of Turkey were the Lycians - they inhabited the mountainous, wooded and rocky coast at the area where the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean meet.
To the east, the land was inhabited by the Carian people. Today, the coasts in this area are some of the least crowded in the Mediterranean - but also some of the most beautiful. A sailing holiday allows you to visit secluded coves along the Gulf of Hisarönü, between the Bozburun and Datҫa peninsulas and includes the possibility of a trip to the Greek Dodecanese Islands at the eastern edge of the Aegean Sea. A yacht charter in Marmaris, Göcek and Fethiye is a perfect opportunity to sail in pristine and protected waters, surrounded by beautiful unspoilt surroundings, which look the same as they did thousands of years ago.
Departure: Most of our guests sail from Göcek - only 20 min fra Dalaman Airport.
Sailing in Marmaris, Göcek and Orhaniye are a trip through paradise. The passages between the anchorages are short and give plenty of time to enjoy all the pleasures of sailing. You can also go on trips ashore and explore the local food - or indulge a cold drink and enjoy fantastic Turkey in the evening sun. The sailing season runs from mid-April to mid-November. Soft and warm winds from the west are rarely stronger than 15 knots, making the area unusually family friendly for couples with smaller children or skippers with inexperienced crews. Throughout July and August, the Meltemi summer-wind can be strong in open water, but it usually calms down at night. The tidal range is only one to two feet - and therefore tidal currents are not a concern. The average temperature in the boating season varies between 23°C to 26°C. A boating holiday in Marmaris, Göcek and Orhaniye suit sailors with basic skills in coastal navigation.
