Chartering in Turkey
The popular yachting area on the west coast starts from Cesme in the north to Antalya in the south. This is 2500 miles of coast line suitable for all levels of sailing skill and experience.
Abundance of bays and harbours makes Turkey one of the few sailing areas in the Mediterranean truly suited to catamarans - you'll be able to enjoy your days without having to worry about where to moor at night.
Turkey has a long tradition of yachting. Its nautical infrastructure is excellent. Mooring fees in marinas and ports are moderate in comparison to the western Mediterranean. Mooring in bays and at restaurant’s jetties is often free. That makes Turkey an exceptional value for money sailing destination.
