Kas Bareboat Yacht Charter and Sailing Holidays, Turkey

Kas Holidays

Sunsail’s base in the bustling town of Gocek on Turkey’s Lycian coast is ideally situated for a bareboat sailing holiday in one of the least crowded and most beautiful cruising grounds in the Eastern Mediterranean.

A Gocek yacht charter allows you to explore the mountainous pine-forested shores, ancient ruins and peaceful anchorages that adorn Turkey’s Turquoise Coast at your own pace.

Secluded coves and bays offer fantastic swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing opportunities, and there are glorious beaches just waiting for you to laze upon them. The picturesque harbours where you can moor up for the night are invariably home to a good restaurant or three.

A yacht charter from Gocek allows you to take advantage of the superb sailing conditions of Turkey’s Lycian Coast. Passages between anchorages are generally short, allowing for plenty of time to explore or simply chill out, but there are opportunities for some exhilarating sailing too. In summer, temperatures can reach 32 C (89F), making the cooling sea breezes of the afternoon most welcome. These range from 10 to 20 knots (11 - 23Mph), and die down at night.
