About this boat

Short hops between pine-backed anchorages along the Carian coast suit crews happy to swing on the hook rather than queue for a quay, riding the afternoon north-westerly before it drops at dusk. With a gennaker aboard, the light morning miles get properly sailed too, and each couple gets their own corner to retreat to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit.

How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~40 HP engine burns roughly 3.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 67 L ≈ €101 at €1.50/L — scale it to your own plans.

Do I need a sailing licence in Turkey?

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: No licence is required by Turkish law, but charter companies require proof of competence such as an ICC or RYA Day Skipper certificate.

When is the best time to sail in Turkey?

April–October along the Turquoise Coast (Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye); hot, dry summers with gentle afternoon breezes ideal for cruising.
