Turgutreis Flotilla Sailing Vacation

Overview

Sunsail’s Turgutreis flotilla vacation cruises the breathtakingly beautiful coastline of Turkey. Depending on your departure dates, you will explore either the North or the South coast.

Sunsail’s Turgutreis South Flotilla Vacation cruises south across the Gulf of Gokova, along the southern coast of the Bodrum peninsula. The coastline is constantly changing – tree-lined hills slope down to picture-perfect bays where the finest Turkish gulets are moored and beautiful beaches beckon you for a swim or snorkel in crystal clear waters. Turgutreis South Flotilla sailing also takes in stops at the ancient site of Halicarnassus and Bodrum Castle, now home to the Museum of Underwater Archaeology.

The Turgutreis North Flotilla sailing cruises the wonderful coastline of the northern Gulf of Gulluk. The waters of the southern shore of the Bodrum peninsula are clear and translucent, ranging from pale turquoise to deepest blue and are ideal for lazy afternoons spent swimming and snorkeling. Turgutreis North Flotilla sailing takes in stops at the ancient city of Lassos with the ruins of Roman villas, the sunken city of Myndos, lively towns with bustling markets, the sophisticated resort at Maya Marina and numerous waterfront restaurants serving excellent fish.

In July and August, the Turgutreis Flotilla is a family flotilla and you can combine both of Turgutreis Flotillas to make a two-week flotilla vacation.

Turgutreis Highlights

A Turgutreis Flotilla vacation allows you to alternate lively nightlife with the excitement of the Bodrum Bazaar and dinners at casual tavernas for the perfect vacation mix.

  • Akbuk

    An Akbuk boat charter brings you east along the coast of the Gulf of Gokova to the attractive village of Oren, built on the site of ancient Keramos. Here, there are ruins to explore; then it's off to the scenic anchorage of Akbuk, surrounded by pine-covered slopes, where you can stop for the night to enjoy a meal ashore in one of the waterfront restaurants.

  • Bodrum

    Whether you are actually one of the beautiful people or you just like to watch those who are, a visit to the bustling town of Bodrum is something not to be missed. You’ll want to visit the impressive Castle of St. Peter too, but Bodrum is mostly about shopping, eating, drinking and dancing. You’ll need another vacation afterwards!

  • Cokertme

    Visiting charterers gather at Cokertme to enjoy the friendly atmosphere at what is a popular first overnight stopover for yachts heading into the Gulf of Gokova. Nestled at the foot of steep mountains, Cokertme is the place to enjoy some terrific food washed down with a bottle of the local red wine and live music at Hassan’s. How’s that for a good start to a Cokertme boat charter?

  • Degrimen Buku English Harbour

    Anchor your Degrimen Buku English Harbor boat charter in this lovely bay and take a walk through the beautiful forest fields just inland from the coast. Amber trees which only grow in a few places in the Eastern Mediterranean perfume the air with their distinctive fragrance. When you’ve worked up an appetite, head for one of the simple restaurants on the shore and enjoy some delicious grilled fish for dinner.
