Welcome to Top Yacht in Turkey

The coastal area is interesting and varied, and there is plenty to explore, from the ruins of ancient cities to efficient modern marinas. Dine at a beachside restaurant surrounded by pine trees in a peaceful bay, or sample sophisticated Ottoman dishes in a bustling resort. Snorkel and kayak in the clear waters around the rocky shores, buy your provisions in the colourful local market, and haggle over the price of a rug. With such diversity, it’s not surprising people come back to Turkey time after time.

Winds

The prevailing summer breeze is the meltemi, usually force 3 – 5 from the north-west, following the coast round and into the gulfs. It picks up in late morning, dying away in the evening, and is strongest in July and August.

Charter bases

We operate from two bases, about 70 miles apart by sea. One way sailing is an option, at no extra cost.
