Scorpio 72
Crewed Yacht Charters Cruising Greece And Turkey
The ketch-rigged Scorpio 72 is a
proper crewed charter yacht accommodating eight or ten guests in four or five comfortable
private cabins each with its own water closet and shower. Created for the charter
market by Robert H. Perry, this handsome yacht features a careful selection of innovative
and sensible design improvements. Warm teak and mahogany and soft lighting combine with subdued
modern furnishing to create a superbly attractive interior. The standard cabin layout consists
of two double cabins on the quarters, a double cabin opposite the galley, and two twin-bunk
cabins forward of amidships as depicted below, all air conditioned. On some Scorpios there is
a single master cabin aft. Separate crew quarters in the bow are accessible by deck hatch. The
teak-paneled salon and galley are fore and aft amidships, the former having two dining tables
each comfortably seating five or more guests. The separate navigation station is adjacent to
the galley and features 12v and 220v panels as well as navigation electronics. These elegant
sailing yachts are the descendants of nineteenth century Yankee clippers never surpassed in
sailing speed and are built for luxurious comfort and easy handling. The wide decks and twin
cockpits promote a delicate separation of sailing and socializing.

cruising the eastern Mediterranean? For crewed yacht charters cruising Turkey and Greece? Do you plan

Aegean islands? How about sailing Turkey and Greece aboard a charter yacht with family accommodations. A charter yacht with a caring
and catering crew. How about chartering a Scorpio 72 to cruise the coast of Turkey's ancient Lycia.
Or to sail Cleopatra's Route along the coast of neighboring Caria and among Greece's Scattered
Islands. While you holiday. Wouldn't you like to have a holiday with family or friends cruising these
storied waters! Wouldn't you like to holiday aboard a crewed charter yacht proceeding leisurely from
historical crossroads to mythological arena! From pine encircled bay to clear-water cove. From the
foot of Mount Olympus to Poseidon's Garage! Scorpio is a word derived from Greek. Scorpius, meaning
scorpion or the constellation appearing as a scorpion, the Scorpius dispatched by Apollo to slay the
Hunter Orion in order to defend the honor of Apollo's sister Artemis, the Huntress, but so situated
in the eastern sky as to never quite catch Orion in the western sky. Just by the tail of Scorpius, it
might be noted, there is a star cluster now called Ptolemy's Cluster first identified by Claudius
Ptolemaeus Pelusiniensis in about 130 AD. Philosopher and geographer as well as astronomer, this
Ptolemy was an Egyptian of Macedonian lineage like most other Ptolemy's, and was in his time presumed
to be descended from forebears of Cleopatra. Cleopatra cruised here in part because her forebears had
ruled here. Among many other places along the Turkish Coast and on Greek islands, Cleopatra paused
twice at ancient Lydae near Gocek. Why not begin your cruise in Gocek! Are you searching for Gocek in
Turkey? For nearby Fethiye? Well, they are both about forty-five nautical miles ENE of Rhodes Town.
In either place or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed sailing yacht for the holiday of a
lifetime. We can put you aboard a crewed charter yacht and show you flat sailing waters of the Gulfs
of Gocek and Fethiye leading to ancient Lydae, show you Claudius Ptolemy's mapping path from Lydae,
which he called Chydae, down the coast of Lycia past temples of Apollo and Artemis to Aperlae, show
you Cleopatra's Route up the coast of Asia Minor and among Scattered Islands to a beach at Cedrae she
laid with Egyptian sand. Superb crewed yachts available for charter in Greece and Turkey. Contact
