Sailing through the fantastic Lycian coast
Lots of sun, warm turquoise water, a nice breeze and many quiet small bays and inlets, with the pine forests reaching down to the sea, are the main "ingredients" of a cruise along the Lycian coast. There is a great choice of itineraries along this beautiful coast, still one of the last unspoiled shores of the Mediterranean.
Our home base is Gocek, situated in the far north-west corner of the Bay of Fethiye. Over the past years Gocek has developed into a well-known, lively town which attracts yachtsmen from all over the world.
It became one of the most popular charter bases along the Turkish coast and provides a variety of facilities like souvenir shops, markets, restaurants, hotels and pensions and all these within a short walk.
One of the big advantages is that it is only a half hour drive away from Dalaman International Airport, in short: an ideal starting point for your sailing holidays.

Sailing in the area
The area offers no particular difficulties for relaxed sailing. There are no tides, no currents and no high waves.
During the summer months the "meltem" is blowing (starting from June and dying off in October), though not as strongly as around the Aegean islands.
This provides the sailor with a steady and regular afternoon wind around 4/5 Beaufort.
The water temperature is all summer long perfect for swimming, snorkling and diving and never gets below 19 degrees C!
Our two-week flotilla program in 2005 will take the eastern route to Kekova, while the one-week program will be around the Gulf of Fethiye.
