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. If you have sailed from Fethiye or Bodrum before, a yacht charter from this new base 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.
