We all know that Turkish mediterranean, southwestern coastal waters are the cleanest and unspoiled places in Eastern Mediterranean yacht charter vacations as well as most protected areas from the northerly and westerly winds of the Aegean sea. with our backround as seaman, we consider less the greek islands  in the aegean where there are nowhere to hide and/or anchor to shelter from ever strong Aegean winds, the mainland Anatolia is a natural barrier to strong northerly winds which blows up to 35 kts all over Aegean and causes severe weather conditions compared to Bodrum, marmaris gocek and fethiye where even small ants can drink water.
The lush green pine forests all over turkish coastline, Turkish hospitality as well as cheap and good quality food makes Turkey a heaven for sun prayers. There are no harmful creatures nor toxic waste in our waters where you can swim round the clock. There are soft breezes of 10 knots for perfect sailing and excellent bays and coves for chartered motoryachts and gulets which can be anchored in one yacht only bays for utmost privacy, meanwhile in a short distance you may enjoy the local fish restaurants and discoteques in bodrum, marmaris, gocek, fethiye for a night out to enjoy utmost entertainment.

Year after year these seaman has evolved and built bigger and better yachts proudly showing their hand crafted yachts and these beautiful places where they used to fish and make a living, and nowadays to share their experiences and the natural assets with these yachts are being built bigger and better with different imaginations and for customer demands since the everyday clients are nowadays more exigent and they ask their fantasies to become reality, such as a jacuzzi on board of a yacht charter gulet…!
These experienced seaman or nowadays captains of luxury motor sailing gulets try their best to prepare the yacht charter during winter to launch proudly and prepare to charter these yachts and seek appreciation of their guests. sometimes it is hard to understand and accept that guests are not interested in the nature, blue and green beauty of these beautiful pine covered hills down to water line with a soft evening breeze with a fish barbecue acompanied with friendly laughters and music… Some of the new generation yacht charter guests are interested in powerful motoryachts or even megayachts without any limits of luxury and comfort for those who imagine yacht charter as an ultimate escape ground.

Datca is a large peninsula with a unique access from Marmaris and due to being geographically endowed combination of blue turquoise coves and and the lush green forests makes this beautiful peninsula a jewel in the southwestern Turkish coastline. in general the short distance between datca and the neighbouring greek islands such as symi and rhodes is an advantageous route for both Turkish and greek counterpartners in southern aegean waters. Daily sea traffic between Datca and symi and rhodes islands is far more developed than Turkish and greek relations since the whole fresh green grocery and other supplies are being supplied from Turkey rather than mainland Greece or nearby islands.
Symi has a belvedere ( georgous view in italian ) unlike other greek islands, white walls and fuchia purple coloured Begonias everywhere and the Greek taverns where everybody loves to break porcelain plates acompanied with sirtaki and seafood. Turkish Tourists rather prefere Symi and Rhodes islands for being such a short distance away and the hospitality of symi people against generous Turkish yacht owners and their guests on board luxurious motoryachts and large Gulets.
