Dein Boot, Deine Crew, Deine Regeln – bei einem privaten Segeltörn entscheidest Du, wie Dein Abenteuer aussieht! Gestalte deinen individuellen Törn und genieße Freiheit auf dem Wasser !
The route shown is a suggestion based on optimal conditions. The final route is decided daily by the crew together with the skipper - depending on weather, wind, crew wishes and current conditions. This makes every trip an individual adventure!
Where is the shopping list? On the yacht in Fethiye/Göcek, your crew and the skipper are planning your sailing trip eastward through Turkey. You'll need a few shopping tips for the provisions you'll be buying together in the early afternoon, between 2 and 4 p.m. Shopping is then done for the day. Check-in is after 5 p.m. In the evening, you head to the harbor. Just a light meal. Turkish cuisine is ideal for this. Over a glass of wine, you get to know the other sailors. Perfect!
The first sailing maneuvers. The first sailing strokes. Sailing in Turkey is fun. If you have no sailing experience, the skipper will show you the ropes. There are stops for swimming on the route from Göcek to the Gemiler Islands. You jump from the yacht into the crystal-clear water. What a dream! A few of your fellow sailors are interested in culture and go ashore on the island with its Byzantine church ruins.
How cool is that? Your skipper asks you whether you want to head for the small municipal harbor in Kalkan Bay or stay overnight in one of the romantic bays of the offshore islands. That's something to think about carefully! But one thing is certain: no matter where you anchor, you're sure to be treated to a spectacular sunset view and a few sundowners on deck.
You have anchored in Kalkan Bay. The day is young, and you take advantage of the calm harbor atmosphere to take a dip in the water before breakfast. Later, you sail a short distance from Kalkan Bay to Kas Harbor. Enjoy swimming all day long. Lie on the deck, deeply relaxed, and let your mind wander. Where better to do this than under blue skies and deep blue waters on the sea?
Today's sailing trip takes you to a place from forgotten times. You will head for Kekova. The small island is now uninhabited. Your shore excursion takes you to the famous excavations of ancient Myra near Kekova. A thousand years ago, an earthquake destroyed the city and it sank mostly into the water. The ruins of the theater, the rock tombs, and a Christian chapel can still be seen today.
When sailing in Turkey, you will discover the gems of the Turkish Riviera. From Kekova, you will sail to the bay of Kayaköy, a small village in a rocky mountain valley. During the day, you will be on the water enjoying the wind and waves. Clean turquoise water beckons you. In the afternoon, you arrive at the secluded bay and drop anchor. You pull out your cell phone: "A fairytale idyll – perfect for a selfie!"
Fun sailing from Kayaköy Bay to Fethiye Gulf. Big like! And because you and your fellow sailors have learned so much about sailing over the last few days, today is the day to show off everything you've learned on your sailing trip in Turkey! The sailing weather is perfect: the yacht lies calmly in the water in the fantastically large bay in the Gulf of Fethiye. A good, steady wind is blowing, perfect for sailing.
A fantastic week of sailing has come to an end, during which you saw so much, relaxed, and enjoyed delicious food. You packed your things yesterday because you have to leave the yacht by 9 a.m. Everything is super well organized at sailwithus, from arrival to departure. You felt safe with your skipper and met some fantastic people. You'll definitely see each other again on your next sailing trip.
