Marmaris is a very popular holiday resort and a mesmerizing meeting point of ancient and modern, green and blue, the Aegean and the Mediterranean... It’s hard to find words to describe the rich history, natural beauty, and cultural heritage of this stunning region. Marmaris is home to numerous bohemian, original, and modern buildings, and appeals to amateur sailors with its numerous bays.
The long-lasting summer of the Turkaegean, Turkish Riviera, and the Eastern Mediterranean coasts allow one to trade the fast-paced daily grind for an extended solitude deep into the season. Yachting trips and charters to this magnificent region grant unrivaled freedom to explore some of the best coastal scenery in Türkiye. It is the quintessential Turkish ideal of luxury to set sail along the Turquoise Coast, exploring the high-end boutiques, restaurants and clubs on land, after the quality time spent with family in nature. Not to mention the romance of exploring ancient ruins, temples, and tombs –treasures that remain of the great and historic city-states along the shores. If you are a novice to maritime adventures in Türkiye, here’s what you can expect.

Fethiye and Gocek:
A sailing paradise in the Gulf of Fethiye... Gocek is the starting and ending point of Blue Cruises, and as such features heavy yacht traffic. A coastal jewel, it is a calm and safe harbor due to its closed gulf, making it suitable for long-distance travelers coming from foreign seas. Thanks to its deep blue sea, green pine forests, lovely beaches, and bays and islands - each of which is a hidden paradise in its own right - it’s no wonder the region is among the most popular destinations for sailboats and yachts.
Gocek is a quiet and sheltered port thanks to its unique geography. Gocek has everything that sunseekers and sea enthusiasts could ever wish for thanks to its numerous natural bays, islands both large and small and, of course, the world-famous Turquoise Sea. Gocek has always been the perfect haven for boats and yachts of all shapes and sizes. The bay is well known in the marina industry and has six world-class marinas. Four of Turkey's most luxurious marinas are located on the central bay of Gocek and two are in Gocek Bungu's Bay.
It’s possible to visit the unforgettable bays of Gocek by boat departing out of those marinas or the port in the original town. You can take public boat tours or rent your own boat and spend as much time as you want in any bay. Some agencies also offer Sea Kayaking and Stand-Up Paddle Board tours.
