The Turquoise Coast Charter Itinerary

The Turquoise Coast Itinerary

The Turquoise Coast Yacht Charter
A week along Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, from stylish Bodrum to the island-strewn bay of Fethiye, a shoreline of pine-clad mountains, hidden gulets coves and ancient ruins. This is Aegean-meets-Mediterranean cruising at its finest, warm clear water, sheltered anchorages and Lycian history at every turn. Expect crusader castles and rock tombs, near-landlocked bays and river deltas, a richly rewarding voyage.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Bodrum

Begin in Bodrum, stylish heart of the Turkish Aegean, presided over by its great Castle of St Peter and the ruins of the ancient Mausoleum. Explore the town and marina, then set sail into the gulf.
