Marmaris Yacht Cooperative, a non-profit organization, was founded by the local yacht owners drawing upon
their many years of experience and expertise in Blue Journey, in Marmaris, in 2004.
Our powerful fleet, which has a capacity of over 25 yachts - up to 300 beds, with its experienced professional crew, who
understand the importance of quality in yacht cruising, and provide seamless service, gives you the opportunity
to chose the best available yacht which suitable for you and/or your group and budget to take the legendary Blue
Journey on the Mediterranean, on the south-west coastline of Turkey.
With over 8,333 kilometres of coastline and four seas, Turkey is a treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches from which yachtsmen can choose a different and always private anchorage each night.
The sailing paradise of Turkey is home to the Blue Voyage. This idyllic cruise means sailing with the winds, into coves and over the seas and becoming one with nature. It is also an experience of the history of man from the perspective of the sea rather than from the land, a journey which carries you to the private beach of Cleopatra, the eternal fires of Mt. Olympos and the myriad archaeological remains of ancient civilizations.
For lovers of the active life, sailing in clear waters provides great opportunities for swimming, fishing, skiing, surfing and diving.
Once a sleepy fishing village, Marmaris has ballooned into one of the largest resorts on the Aegean coast, if not Turkey. Little of its history remains, as the town is now a modern development with tourism at its heart and soul.
The population swells to a massive 200,000
in the summer, with most hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and shops catering to low-cost package holidays, although there are facilities for all budgets.
Despite the development which reaches around 10km along the west of the bay, Marmaris is also well-known for its expanse of green, present the whole year round thanks to the pine-covered hills which surround the town. There are many beaches around the bay, and there are ancient cities and seaside villages close by for day trips.
