Private Sailing
The choice of your yacht is limited only by your imagination (’house from literally hundreds of classic and modem motor and sailing yachts. Your cruise can start almost anywhere along the Turkish coastline and last as long as you desire. With a private sailing, you decide on who and how many your ship mates will be. Invite two people or twenty, the choice is yours. Your charter will be crewed to ensure every detail of your voyage, like the Shakespeare play is “as you like it.” Is there a special place in the Iliad you’ve always longed to see? Design your own itinerary on Homer’s “wine dark sea” or let Alexander and Troy help you design the perfect itinerary down to the last detail. Whichever you decide, an English speaking guide will accompany you to further illuminate the history of the sights you will see.
Bareboat
Interested in the same freedom the private sailing provides, but want to do your own sailing? Charter a bareboat. Just as it sounds, only the bare essentials are provided. You arc the captain and the crew -master of your destiny. With a turn of the steering wheel, you decide what to see and do. In order to skipper a bareboat, you must have a skipper’s license which you are able to show upon request. If you are not a licensed skipper, you can still hire a bareboat, and we will arrange a qualified skipper to accompany you. Bareboat departure ports are Bodrum, Marmaris, Orhaniye and Gocek and one-way trips or trips from northern ports such as Kusadasi and mid-way ports such as Karacasogut subject to availability.
Along Turkey’s Turquoise Cost Lazy days spent lounging on deck, lunches in secluded
coves, the whisper of ancient voices in the pine tree above, just another hectic day on the Turquoise Coast. Once the stronghold of the ancient Lycians, the coast from Bodrum to Antalya still bears reminders of their presence carved into stone of their elaborately carved rock tombs, amphi theaters and temples. Sometimes it takes just a scrape of the shoe to reveal mosaic walkways in these almost forgotten towns.
Like the ancient Lucian’s you will be able to reach places accessible only by sea. Although similar in design to ancient sail boats, your wooden gullet is likely to make more use of its motor rather than it’s sails and is sure to be infinitely more comfortable. The gullets have 4-8 cabins with is private bathroom and hand-held shower. Don’t forget your towels, although they, like you, are sure to spend more time on the deck than below. The cabins are clean and comfortable but primarily designed for sleeping and changing. Although many passengers do choose to sleep on board beneath the blanket of a star strewn sky. For those who want to do more than just lounge or swim in the tranquil waters, windsurfing, water skiing and snorkeling is available.
Whether combined with overland travel or as an unforgettable nautical vacation, your sailing options are as varied as the treasures you will discover around every bend along the mythic coastline.
