Yacht charter from Orhaniye

Start your sailing holiday from the new base at Orhaniye in the centre of the "Turquoise Coast".

A sailing holiday from the new base at Orhaniye is the only way to discover the unspoilt coastline of Turkey between Datca and Marmaris.

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.
