Departure: D-Marin Göcek / Fethiye

Route Overview & Cruising Conditions

Göcek and the surrounding Gulf of Fethiye represent one of the most sheltered, yacht-friendly cruising grounds in the world. Nestled under majestic Taurus mountain peaks covered with aromatic pine forests, the area features dozens of calm coves with crystal-clear waters.

Sailors adore the relaxed routine: calm morning breeze, lunchtime anchorages at Cleopatra’s Sunken Baths, and evenings tied up to private wooden jetties run by warm family-owned seafood restaurants.
