Sailing the clear blue waters of Turkey’s Lycian or Carian Coast on a Turkish sailing vacation is an experience that every sailor should be lucky enough to have at least once in his or her lifetime.
There is a timeless ambience to this part of the world that makes it one of the most relaxing destinations on Earth – somewhere to re-charge the batteries in sublime surroundings.
Over the course of Turkey’s long and beautiful summer, the good winds and moderate seas make an exploration of the deep water bays and mountainous coastline of southern Turkey, with its historic sites, sleepy fishing villages and bustling towns, a sailing vacation to remember.
A Gocek yacht charter or flotilla from nearby Fethiye is ideal for beginner to intermediate sailors with some previous experience. The sailing conditions allow for both gentle coastal cruising and more exhilarating passages in places where the winds are stronger.

Orhaniye is the perfect starting point to set of on either the Dorian or Orhaniye flotillas, or a 1 or 2 week yacht charter exploring this picturesque coastline. Discover ancient tombs and towns, traditional Turkish cuisine and welcoming local at every stop. The sailing conditions in this part of Turkey are stronger than at our other bases, and so best suited to the more proficient sailors among you.

Experienced sailors will revel in the excellent sailing conditions and the opportunities presented by the vast cruising area within reach on a Turgutreis yacht charter. Choose between short hops along the coast and exciting longer passages to create the perfect sailing vacation.
