A Turkey yacht charter is noted for its natural beauty, fine beaches and deep culture, there's an abundance of islands, isolated bays and inlets with anchorages for you to 'throw the anchor' put your feet up or hop ashore to visit a remote local taverna. Other than the three tourist centres of Gocek, Fethiye and Oludeniz, the Turquoise Coast remains largely undeveloped. The area holds a few wonderful surprises as well - how about bathing in thermal mud baths, feeding loggerhead turtles, paragliding, visiting 'Pancake Island' for fresh local pancakes or snorkelling over submerged ancient civilisations? It's all right there. A one week sailing holiday is typically centred on the Gulf of Fethiye but can stretch to Dalyan in the west to Oludeniz in the east. A visit slightly further east to Butterfly Bay is also recommended (wind and weather permitting). While Dalyan is a must-see, where you’ll find the Lycian tombs, loggerhead turtles and thermal mud pools. The beach resort of Oludeniz and its surrounding bays, such as Cold Water Bay are also well worth the visit. Both are situated just outside the Gulf of Fethiye.

What makes the Dalaman Area so Special
- Marmaris itinerary via Bozburun
The goal should always be to leave Marmaris on the first day and head to the lovely small village of Ciflik.
The bay of Loryma, also known as Bozukkale, is located near the southern tip of the Bozburun Peninsula which extends about 21mi southwest of Marmaris.
Söğüt is located at the far end of the Bozburun Peninsula. Söğüt is probably the most beautiful and unspoilt village on the southern coast of the peninsula. The settlement is quite sizeable and is spread over a broad area with the biggest portion of the village based inland and surrounded by mountains.
Selimiye is a coastal village that is all about tranquility. Calm, crystal clear waters lapping against the shingle shoreline.
A wonderful bay with crystal clear waters and lots of mooring options that's been used as a harbor since ancient times.

In terms of your sailing itinerary there is very little between Gocek and Fethiye. Often the choice between Gocek and Fethiye comes down to the best yacht available. Fethiye is livelier than Gocek, with a more touristy outlook. It has fantastic markets and all the conveniences that you would expect. Shop for supplies, visit tombs cut into cliffs above the town, explore the narrow streets or have a Turkish bath – there’s plenty to do in Fethiye. Gocek retains more of a village feel and is the closest base to Dalaman airport. Although modern, the town still retains much of the Turkish culture in the quality shops found along its high street. It has many excellent supermarkets, and they will also deliver to your yacht. It sports several good chandleries, souvenir shops, several banks and an abundance of restaurants spread along the waterfront.
Seamaster now offers package sailing holidays to Turkey. Both Gocek and Fethiye are both accessed via Dalaman Airport, approximately 25 to 45 minutes from Gocek and Fethiye respectively. Dalaman is serviced by numerous airlines flying from many airports around the UK and Europe, so it is very well served.
The summer season is long hot and dry. During May and October expect temperatures already into the mid-20s, while during August temperatures average in the mid-30s. Winds are generally light in the morning, building through the day into a nice breeze normally between 8 to 12 knots with gusts up to 18 knots. You will not suffer any real swell from these winds.
There are no moorings fees in and around Fethiye and Gocek, unless you decide to visit the other ‘main centre (i.e. Fethiye or Gocek).
Charterers in Turkey need a minimum of an RYA Day Skipper or ICC (International Certificate of Competence). If you are in any doubt, please contact Seamaster and we will advised you or even get pre-approval.
