Turkey is a fascinating blend of the ancient and
the modern, surrounded by the water on the three
sides with a coastline some 8,000 km. in length.
The Southwest corner of this coastline is easily
one of the most beautiful in the world. Some
suggested routes are giving at the end of page.
Gocek is a small village in an idyllic setting,
in the corner of a well protected bay with pine
covered hills on the three sides. When you
charter a yacht from Gocek one can truly say "
the holiday begins as you leave Dalaman airport
for the 20 minute drive to Gocek". You travel
through some of the most picturesque scenery in
Turkey.
Our yachts are in Gocek marina with all
facilities on hand including toilets, shower,
water and ice. Well stocked food and other shops
are very close and shopkeepers willingly deliver
provisions to your yacht free of charge. On
arrival you will be met by Blues Team who will
show you, your yacht so you can settle in before
going out for your first taste of delicious
Turkish mezes (hors d'oeuvres), kebabs, kofte in
Blue Restoran & Bar.
For many, this will be the first experience of
Turkey and you cannot fail to be impressed by
the friendliness and helpfulness of the local
people and the sheer beauty of the scenery.
The season extends from April to November. By
mid-May the sea has warmed up with the days long
and sunny. June is perhaps the most perfect
month with balmy evenings and delightfully warm
seas. In July and August are not unbearably hot,
as the prevailing winds are cool and refreshing,
the nights comfortable. September is always
popular with temperatures similar to the June.
In October the sea is still delightfully warm
and in spite of the possibility of the odd
shower temperatures are usually in the high 67 F
/ 19 C.
The prevailing wind is North-Westerly but tends
to blow up the Gulfs of Gokova and Datca from
the West. Typically it picks up at 11.00 hrs and
force four or five is quite normal in the
afternoon. In the evening it drops to give a
calm night. There is good exhilarating sailing
throughout the season, although July and August
are the months of the strongest wind.
