Start your sailing holiday from Marmaris or Orhaniye in the centre of the "Turquoise Coast".
Discover the unspoilt coastline of Turkey between Datca and Marmaris. If you have sailed from Fethiye before, a yacht charter from Marmaris or Orhaniye gives you a chance to explore a different part of the Turkish coast including the Hisaronu Gulf and Yesilova Gulf. The scenery is breathtaking and the hospitality and warmth of the Turkish people will impress you.
This sailing area offers so many secluded coves and bays, perfect either as lunchtime stops or overnight anchorages. Swim off your yacht in clear turquoise seas. In the evening moor up in small fishing villages and protected bays where simple wooden jetties are provided by waterside restaurants. This is a popular sailing holiday destination for couples and families wanting to explore this unspoilt part of Turkey, rich in scenery and history. More protected than the Gulf of Gokova near Bodrum, but longer sailing passages than in the Fethiye Bay.
Marmaris yachts are based at Joya del Mar Marina, located in one of the most beautiful bays in the area with a private beach, hotel and resturant or Albatros Marina, just outside of the main resort.
