 A special Gay Sailing Cruise along the Turkish coast starting in Göcek and finishing in Bodrum. This cruise is quite diverse, big towns like Bodrum with its real Turkish Gay life, the Greek Island Simi, small quiet bays surrounded by lush vegetation, and ancient sights. Something for everyone! This Gay Nude sailing cruise is inclusive of breakfast, lunch, harbour fees, taxes, end-cleaning and gasoline.
Day 1 -
Göcek is a small town that today hosts six significant marinas serving the yacht tourism in the region. The town is prominent for harbouring islands and coves in its large but secluded bay. Owing to its location, it enjoys a high potential for yacht tourism and in 1988 was declared a Registered Area of Special Protection. Because of this, multi-story buildings are not allowed, so the tourist accommodation facilities are two-storied hotels, motels, apartment hotels, and pensiones situated in the town center and its periphery. Göcek has all the necessary infrastructure, capacity, and amenities expected in a tourism center, yet it is renowned as a much more peaceful and quiet settlement than some other tourism areas.
Day 2 -
Ekincik bay and its famous My Marina restaurant is in a harbour surrounded by pine forests. This bay is a natural harbour and safe against southerly and westerly winds. If the weather is calm-- as it mostly is in summer-- it is a very beautiful place. The other side of the ba has some farms, and there is a small jetty in the northwestern part with water deep enough to stop there. Usually, we drop our anchor in the southeastern part, just in front of My Marina, which offers a fantastic view of the bay and an excellent fish dinner.
Day 3 -
The beautiful bay of Ciftlik is stunning. With its clear water, it is the ideal place to dive in, once you have moored up on one of the restaurant jetties. There are several restaurants to choose from, including Rafetbaba, where the staff is always ready with a warm welcome. Rafetbaba's restaurant is one of our recommendations, a large shady restaurant overlooking the bay. They have mooring lines for up to 18 yachts with staff waiting on the pontoon to take your lines & lend a hand. They offer good facilities with hot showers.
Day 4 -
We sail to Keci Buku. Described as a "gem" in the Turkish Waters Pilot, this well-sheltered hideout truly is special. A wide, sweeping bay surrounded by pine forests boasts a fascinating old fortress perched on the top of an island, guarding the entrance. It's a view that is well worth the scramble up!
Day 5 -
We will cruise to Simi. Food and water will be supplied to the boat from Simi Harbor. Simi has become a popular stopover for yachts and offers many colorful seafood restaurants, pubs and discotheques.
Day 6 -
Mersincik is an anchorage that we've visited a few times now, and it never ceases to impress. The dramatic sheer cliff face rises to the bright rising moon, while the red setting sun casts eerie shadows.
Day 7 -
Bodrum, on the north shore of the Gulf of Gökova, is the undisputed "hot-spot" of the Aegean Coast. It is a swinging, singing, dancing town with a Bohemian atmosphere. Bodrum has a history that goes back to the 12th century B.C. An impressive medieval castle built by the Knights of Rhodes guards the entrance to Bodrum's dazzling blue bay, where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet. The Bodrum Castle now houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. The yearly throng of visitors here has encouraged small entrepreneurs who have made shopping in Bodrum a true delight. Souvenirs abound, and on certain streets local artists gather to sell their works-- works that come in all forms. At night we will have dinner together and explore the city and its Gay life.
Day 8 -
Following breakfast, it's disembarkation time for those who are not continuing beyond this segment of our cruise.
Depending on sea and weather conditions, we reserve the right to make necessary changes to the tour itinerary to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests.
