The southwest coast of Turkey, famous for the Turquoise Coast and the Blue Cruise, offers some of the best sailing in the Aegean and Mediterranean, if not the world.
The epic beauty of the dramatic coastline around Gökçe Gemile and the Gulf of Fethiye is no exception. The hidden bays and monumental scenery, the deep blue waters and steady wind conditions, make for a truly unforgettable day’s sailing.
Sailing experience
At Gökçe Gemile we have our own 42.2 ft Jeanneau Sun Odyssey yacht, so can quite literally sail into the sunset, in style! With our experienced crew, guests can be sailors for a day, have a go at sailing, learn some of the skills involved, eat their meals on board and have a whole heap of fun.
Sailing is a wonderful way to experience not only the breath-taking beauty of the coastline with its backdrop of rugged mountains, but also the magic of the deep blue waters. Guests may even have the chance to see dolphins at play, a rare Mediterranean Monk Seal or ponderous Loggerhead Sea Turtle.
Listening to the boat cut through the water; watching the sun go down and feeling the wind, sun and salt on your hair and skin; what better way can there be to experience the joy of being alive than a day’s sailing?
Private gulet tours
On the other hand, guests can have an exclusive and very lazy day at sea on a traditional gulet (a traditional wooden boat), hired solely for their own use and with a full crew and service provided.
The gulet cruises to several different bays, giving guests the opportunity to swim, try their hand at fishing, or just relaxing on the comfortable deck area.
Speed Boat hire
To experience the joys of being at sea in a different way, our guest can hire a speed boat. There is a range of boats for hire: from a small basic speed boat that does not need training or any previous boating experience.
There are three different standard speed boats for hire at this level, with capacity for 2, 4 and 6 people. These have 30, 60 and 75 hp engines, respectively.
Our team will give basic training, teach guests how to use the necessary equipment and make sure there is sufficient fuel for the agreed trip. Lifejackets, a GPS, charts, maps and other equipment required on the boat will also be provided.
To hire an advanced, luxurious speedboat a captain’s licence is required or the boat must be skippered by a qualified member of the Gökçe Gemile team.
