Charter Yachts Turkey

Distinctive lines and sailing speed define this popular mid-range yacht.
Fair leads and responsible positioning of winches give exquisite control of mast and sail shape without over-complicating things for the charter skipper. With a set of specially large high-tech sails, the Bavaria 44 proves to be surprisingly quick and responsive. In addition to easy handling and extraordinary sailing performance, comfort is not sacrificed: both the 3 and 4-cabin-versions provide elbow room amid
attractive appointments.

Could you be dreaming of a bare boat holiday cruising Turkey or Greece? Could you be thinking of a yacht charter in Turkey? Or of a bare boat cruise in Greece? Or of both? Greece and Turkey at once? It can be done! Why not do it aboard a 44-foot charter yacht with accommodations for family and friends. Why not charter such a yacht to cruise the coasts of ancient Ionia and Aeolis in Turkey. Why not charter such a yacht to sail the Barbarossa brothers' paths out of neighboring Lesbos, where they were born, through the Greek Sporades and into the central Aegean's Cyclades. While you holiday at the crossroads of history! While you island hop from Chios to Samos, from Fourni to Naxos to Paros as did Aruj, eldest of four Barbarossa brothers, and as did Khizr, youngest. Or might you prefer to holiday cruising the Turquoise Coast of Turkey as did a third brother, Elias, during the latter years of the fifteenth century? First the Turquoise Coast and then the coasts of Pamphylia and Cilicia. The offspring of a Greek Orthodox mother and a formerly Orthodox father, these corsair brothers grew to despise Latin Christians and were for the rest of their lives to take revenge for the Fourth Crusade sacking of Greek Constantinople and Latin occupation of Greek Aegean islands. They did it not aboard charter yachts proceeding leisurely from clear-blue-sea locale to clear-blue-sea locale, but rather aboard Mediterranean galliots, small, light, and fast galleys, eighteen or fewer oars to a side worked by free men and not by slaves. Those decades at the turn of the sixteenth century were long before the Bermuda rig propelling your Bavaria 44; you will have no need of oars. The Barbarossa brothers took revenge* aboard galliots and they took revenge on Latin shipping and on Latin-held islands of the Aegean both before and after Aruj and Khizr ventured into the western Mediterranean. In the western Mediterranean these two were joined by fourth brother Isaac and the three of them took revenge on the Holy Roman Empire including Spain and the city states of Italy, on their shipping and armadas and coastal towns. Would you like to charter your Bermuda-rigged yacht for more relaxed purposes? In Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? For Fethiye in Turkey? Well, they are within an hour by road of the international airport at Dalaman. In Gocek or in Fethiye or elsewhere we can put you aboard a bare boat for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter yacht and show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, show you Ilias Barbarossa's path down the coast of Lycia to Cilicia, show you Pompey The Great's similar route sixteen hundred years earlier in pursuit of Lycian pirates. A superb Bavaria 44 available for holiday cruising in Greece and Turkey. Contact Charter Yachts Turkey today at charteryachts@gocekturkey.com
