About this boat

Two couples or a family can split off into their own cabins, then reconvene each afternoon as the north-westerly fills in for a proper sail. Short hops between pine-backed anchorages leave time to swim, drop the hook off rather than queue for a quay, and eat ashore most nights.

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 ~55 HP engine burns roughly 4.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 92 L ≈ €138 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.
