This depends on how much you like the heat. Typically, the season starts mid April and ends mid October. Mid June to mid August can be quite hot with temperatures reaching 35+, humidity bearable. The month of May is very pleasant as are September and October. For those who love the heat, June, July and August are great! Fortunately, the sea has a wonderful moderating effect on those hot summer days. What better place to be than on a comfortable yacht floating on a turquoise sea!

What to pack for the sailing charter holiday?
We ask that you use soft luggage rather than hard suitcases, since it is easier to store in a boat. For clothing, casual wear including shorts, T-shirts, light long sleeve shirts & pants, and possibly a light sweater or jacket for cool evenings in early Spring or late Fall is useful. Light, non-slip footwear, for getting around on the boat and in the water, sandals or shoes, for walks on shore. You may want to bring more dressy clothing for going out in the evening. A sun hat will be useful as well as good sunscreen.
Can I bring electric powered equipment?
Yes, we have:
- 12 Volt DC power
- 120 Volt AC 60 hertz up to 1500 watts
- 220 Volt AC 50 hertz up to 600 watts or 2000 watts when plugged into shore power
Can I get in touch with home easily?
Yes, we have a Turkish cell phone available for use. If you would like to use the cell phone
during the charter holiday, you have the option to purchase a 'ready card' for your use. You may use the cell phone with our computer to send and receive e-mails any day.
If I have to cut short my holiday, do I get a refund?
No, in the case of medical emergency or death in the immediate family, the remainder of the
holiday can be rebooked at a later date up to a year, or the next charter season.
Can I extend the charter holiday?
Yes, providing we don't have a charter booked for that time period.
Can I change my mind about visiting certain places?
We offer a great deal of flexibility and customization in planning your route (even during the tour).
Can I sail as much as I like?
Yes, absolutely. We would like you to participate as much as you like in sailing the yacht.
What about seasickness?
For your comfort, we can modify our route at any time to minimize the possibility of seasickness.
Please tell us clearly of your concerns before the start of your charter holiday. You may also want to consult with your family doctor before departure.
