Yacht charter in Turkey

The shortest legs and the least wind on the Turkish coast. Built for crews who want to swim and anchor rather than cover distance.

1. 1

   Göcek

   Handover in the afternoon; move to one of the bays just outside the marina.

2. 2

   Bedri Rahmi / Tomb Bay

   An hour or two at most — the point of this week is that nothing is far.

3. 3

   Wall Bay or Seagull Island

   Inside the Twelve Islands group.

4. 4

   Fethiye

   Round into the big bay for supplies and a night in town.

5. 5

   Boynuz Buku or Kille Koyu

   Back west into the quieter inlets.

6. 6

   Sarsala or Ruin Bay

   Last full day at anchor.

7. 7

   Göcek

   Short leg back for the morning handover.

More wind and more sailing than the Göcek week. Reliable afternoon meltemi down the gulf, with the option to pick the sheltered shore.

1. 1

   Bodrum

   Handover; clear the harbour and head east into the gulf.

2. 2

   Çökertme

   First bay on the north shore of Gökova.

3. 3

   Yedi Adalar (Seven Islands)

   A maze of islets with several anchorages; good in a blow.

4. 4

   Longoz or Löngöz

   Deep into the gulf, pine right down to the water.

5. 5

   English Harbour

   Narrow, almost entirely enclosed, and the far point of the week.

6. 6

   Palamutbükü or Knidos

   Out along the Datça peninsula — the exposed leg, so watch the forecast.

7. 7

   Bodrum

   Back across to base, usually a downwind run.
