Charter Report – MARMARIS YACHT FESTIVAL – TURKEY
I recently returned from my 27th annual Marmaris Yacht Festival where I visited 78 Turkish gulets, private motoryachts and sailing vessels for charter.
The coastline is stunning with beaches, coves and sheltered anchorages under a backdrop of rugged pine-studded mountains. The water is clear, historical sites are available by yacht, and Turkish cuisine a delight.
The quality of the yachts available for charter in Turkey continues to become more impressive each year. Many now feature state-of-the art electronics with satellite reception, flat-screen TVs, and Internet options.
Sailing qualities on the newer gulets are much improved. Most feature beautiful mahogany interiors and modern bathrooms with stylish fixtures, spa showers, and luxurious Turkish towels.
And, best of all, Turkish cuisine never disappoints!
