Are you looking for a fun, sociable week of sailing in the glorious Mediterranean sunshine?
Come and join us for a fantastic week exploring the stunning Turkish coastline one beautiful bay at a time! The Turkish coast has a justifiable reputation for being one of the very best regions to sail in the mediterranean - the winds are predictable, the waters are warm, and the sea is crystal clear. Coupled with idyllic anchorages and great local hospitality you can be sure this will be a fantastic trip! This relaxed trip is suitable for people of all sailing abilities, including complete novices.
Plan: The trip will start and end in the small town of Fethiye, just a short taxi ride from Dalaman airport. Once the skippers have completed the charter formalities and everyone has had chance to board the yachts, we will set sail for Skopea Limani on the first evening. Our cruising itinerary will be tailored to the weather, but we plan to spend every evening in a gorgeous bay either moored at a restaurant pontoon, on a mooring buoy or at a town quay! There will also be plenty of time to relax and enjoy the local hospitality and explore the local area each evening! On the final Friday, we will have a farewell dinner ashore before we depart the yachts at 9am on Saturday morning.
Yachts: To ensure comfort and space for everyone we will charter 44-54’ yachts with 4-6 cabins, multiple bathrooms, a spacious galley and all the mod cons you would expect on a luxury yacht including a large drinks fridge and hot and cold running water!! There will be lots of chance to get involved in all aspects of the sailing but also to chill and sunbathe on the spacious decks if you wish! Due to availability of yachts, the exact make and model will vary however they will all be similar in size and offer the same level of comfort and facilities.
Accommodation will be in shared double or twin cabins , no-one will be asked to sleep in the saloon, and everyone will get a cabin berth. We often get asked if cabins are available for sole occupancy and, of course that’s fine, however we can only accommodate this if you agree to cover the full charter cost of the other space in the cabin. You will never be asked to share with someone of a different gender.
Skippers: Mike Johns will lead the flotilla and skipper one of the yachts. All yachts will be skippered by RYA YachtMaster qualified skipper with commercial endorsement. Crews will be allocated to different boats to ensure there is a good mix of abilities on all yachts. All skippers are familiar with the Turkish coast so you will be in safe hands regardless of which boat you are on.
Cost: The cost is £1095 per person to be paid in 2 installments:
Flight info : The closest international airport in Dalaman. Various airlines offer cheap flights however please note most flights land quite late in the day, often around midnight, so you will probably need to arrive in Turkey on the Friday before (12th June)
Sailscape T&Cs apply and will be sent to all participants in advance of confirming booking and are available on request at any time.
