Private sea cruises in Turkey

Turkey is a place that attracts people from all over the world. Lots of people know it for their trips to colorful Istanbul, tours to unique Cappadocia, and, of course, resort vacations in a five-star hotel on the seashore. However, only a small fraction of people know about Turkey as one of the most popular yachting destinations in the world. That's where both professional yachtsmen and inexperienced fans of sea sailing come all year round for boat rental, going on a charter cruise around the Mediterranean or Aegean Sea for a week or two, spending their time in the most exciting way possible.

A yacht charter in Turkey is a proper type of holiday in the format of a week-long (or longer) sea voyage. Such kinds of tours are usually carried out on a sailing yacht or a sailing catamaran, which becomes not just another means of transportation but also a home for you and your company for the duration of the upcoming cruise. During the voyage, the sailboat travels every day from one location to another and follows the itinerary that was made for you by experienced skippers and the team of organizers. Furthermore, each morning you wake up in a new, unique, and beautiful place, visit some of the coastal towns, explore the remote bays, and most importantly, discover a completely different kind of Turkey. Picturesque, marine, cruise-friendly, and absolutely captivating.

Why is a yacht cruise format worth everyone's attention? 

• A unique experience. This vacation format will change your perspective on vacationing by 180 degrees and is unlikely to leave you indifferent for many years to come. A spacious hotel room here is replaced with a small cabin, the usual views from the window replaced with unique scenery created by Mother Nature herself, and the ordinary vacation routine replaced with vivid impressions that will stay with you for a lifetime.
• Human bonding and new acquaintances. Whether you've known someone for the first time or have been friends for years, you'll become a part of the crew for the duration of the cruise and spend many hours together. For example, you'll try your hand at yachting together, cook dinner in a small kitchen to someone else's playlist, hike in the mountains during one of these stops, swim in the sea, look at the stars at night, and uncover new horizons. This will help fellow travelers get to know each other even better, and strangers will find like-minded people and make new buddies by the end of the cruise.
• Various entertainment options. You are free to plan your own leisure program for the cruise. And fortunately, there are many options to choose from. During anchorages in picturesque bays, you can go snorkeling, swimming, fishing, and sunbathing. On the long sea passages, you can meditate amid the unique landscapes, listen to music, drink wine, read a good book, or simply enjoy doing nothing. While making major stops, you can try exploring new locations, hiking, touring from one landmark to another, dining at a seaside restaurant, or setting up your own unique type of holiday. In a nutshell, going on a private yacht cruise allows you to create your dream holiday according to all your wishes and desires.
• Discover the yachting culture. During these cruises, you are fully immersed in the yachting culture: you can really feel the excitement of sailing, get to know the sea and the wind, even learn how to sail together with the captain, and find out why thousands of travelers fall in love with this kind of vacation.

The only way to really discover yacht cruising as one of those exceptional leisure formats is in a truly unique setting. The Mediterranean Sea is one of those places and is one of the most comfortable and popular locations for yachting in Turkey. There are several simple reasons for this: 

• Comfortable climate and warm seas. The air temperature in this area of Turkey does not drop below 15 degrees Celsius the whole year, with the exception of January and February, and the Mediterranean Sea cools down slowly and is comfortable for bathing until mid-December. That is why it is possible to rent a yacht and set off sailing in Turkey on a sea cruise at any time of the year.
• Unique nature and fascinating locations. Those who have seen the incredible combination of colorful mountains and an azure sea at least once in their lives will understand the charm of these places immediately. The nature of Turkey is rich with fragrant pine forests, steep hills, fabulous olive groves, and bays with azure water. And some of the locations have historical sites and ancient ruins. Moreover, the best way to get to the majority of these locations is by water.
• Gastronomic abundance This country is famous for its rather diverse, tasty, and nourishing cuisine. Just the kebab and baklava are worth the visit. During your weeklong cruise on a yacht in Turkey, you will have the opportunity to taste all the culinary delights of the country: stop by the fish market and stock up on fresh sea bass for dinner; order a seafood platter at the atmospheric marina restaurant; and eat a kebab meat set at an authentic cafe in one of the bays.
