Family Sailing from Marmaris to Knidos

There is a stable 4G connection for video calls 90% of the time. Brief drops are possible during sharp yacht maneuvers or in remote bays, but we choose anchorages considering connection quality. For critical meetings, we recommend scheduling them for morning hours when the yacht is at a stable anchorage.

We coordinate sailing schedules with your work schedule. Important meetings are planned during anchorage times. If a meeting is critical, we can stay at anchorage longer or reschedule the passage.

Starlink uses encryption, but if you need VPN for corporate systems, it works without issues. For particularly sensitive data, we can arrange shore access to coworking spaces or cafes with wired internet in major cities (Fethiye, Marmaris, Bodrum).

Several options: cockpit (open deck with sun shade and table), saloon (enclosed space with AC and large table), foredeck (for those who like working in the sun). Each location has 220V outlets and internet access.

Mornings at anchorage are very quiet—just sea sounds and seagulls. During passages there's engine noise and wind in the sails (when sailing), but passages are usually midday after work blocks end. If you need absolute silence for a call, you can go to your cabin with noise-canceling headphones.

Most participants work 4-6 hours concentrated (typically 9:00-13:00 and another 1-2 hours after lunch if needed). This is more effective than 8-10 hours of scattered work at home. We don't impose schedules—everyone works at their own pace, but passages are usually planned for afternoons.

Turkey is GMT+3. If you work with Europe (GMT+1/+2), it's convenient—meetings during the day. With USA (GMT-5/-8) it's trickier—you'll need early mornings or evening work. We consider this when planning activities: if you have evening calls, daytime activities will be earlier.

No, but in port cities (Fethiye, Göcek, Marmaris) there are copy centers we can visit if needed. For most remote work tasks this isn't required, but if necessary—we'll arrange it.

Double cabins with either a double bed or two single beds (separate mattresses), air conditioning, outlets, small wardrobe, porthole. Bathroom with shower shared between 2-3 cabins (depending on yacht). Clean linens and towels provided.

Yes, but the cost is higher (typically 40-50% surcharge on the berth price). If you're booking alone, we can match you with a like-minded roommate or provide a private cabin for the surcharge.

There are 220V European-standard outlets in every cabin, in the saloon, and in the cockpit, plus USB-A and USB-C ports in cabins and common areas. You can charge a laptop, phone, headphones, camera, and powerbank at the same time without tripping anything. Solar panels and the engine alternator keep the batteries topped up while at anchor, so power is never a constraint even on multi-day stays in remote bays.

Standard marine toilet (fresh water, works like regular but no paper in the toilet—use the bin). Shower with fresh water, hot water available. Large water supply, but we ask to conserve—good maritime practice.

Port towns along our routes — Marmaris, Göcek, Fethiye, and Bozburun — have laundromats and laundry services that wash and dry a full load for €5–7. We stop in port one or two times per week, which is enough for most 7-day cruises. You can also hand-wash quick-dry clothing on board: there's a dedicated drying line on the aft deck, and the Mediterranean sun does the rest in a couple of hours.

May-June: day +25-28°C, night +18-22°C. July-August: day +30-35°C, night +24-26°C. September-October: day +25-30°C, night +20-24°C. Cabins have AC. Deck is always cooler due to sea breeze. Nights can be cool—bring a light sweater.

Breakfast and dinner cooked onboard (Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine). Lunch either onboard or at coastal restaurants/tavernas (2-3 times per week). Always fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, meat. We shop at local markets.

Yes, inform us in advance: vegetarian, vegan, allergies, religious restrictions, intolerances. Turkish cuisine is very flexible—many vegetable dishes, legumes, fish. Gluten-free and lactose-free products available in major supermarkets.

The galley (kitchen) is accessible, but usually crew or rotating participants cook. If you want to prepare something yourself—please do. Gas stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer available.

No, alcohol is purchased separately (inexpensive and quality in Turkey). Usually participants pool money and buy wine/beer for evenings. Spirits available at duty-free or specialized shops (Turkey has restrictions on spirits sales).

Coffee and tea included. Turkish coffee pot (cezve), French press, sometimes coffee machine (depends on yacht). Bring your favorite coffee if you have specific preferences—basic Arabic coffee provided, but specialty varieties better to bring.

No. A professional captain with 18+ years of experience operates the yacht. No skills required from you. If you want to learn—the captain will gladly show you the basics.

The Turkish coast is one of the calmest in the Mediterranean. Fethiye and Göcek gulfs are especially protected. Strong waves are rare. If you're prone to seasickness: bring anti-nausea tablets (Dramamine), wristbands, ginger. First 1-2 days the body adapts. No waves at anchorage.

Yes, complete maritime first aid kit: painkillers, fever reducers, antiseptics, bandages, anti-nausea medication, antihistamines. If you have chronic conditions—bring your medications with extras.

Usually 0.5-5 nautical miles from coast. Most passages are along the shore with constant land visibility. Open passages without shore are virtually non-existent on Turkish routes.

Onboard: satellite communication, life jackets, life raft, flares, fire extinguishers, full first aid kit. Captain certified in first aid. Always within Turkish coast guard reach (15-30 minutes by boat). Hospitals in port cities.

We strongly recommend travel insurance that explicitly covers water sports, sailing, and boat-based activities. A suitable weekly policy costs €20–40. Turkish healthcare is high-quality but paid for foreigners — a private clinic visit can run €80–150 without insurance, and a hospital stay much more. Make sure your policy includes medical evacuation and a 24/7 assistance line; both are standard on most European travel insurance products.

Most voyages start from Göcek or Fethiye. Nearest airport is Dalaman (DLM). Flight from Moscow/Istanbul ~2-3 hours. Airport-marina transfer 30-40 minutes, we arrange for €20-30 per person or explain how to get there independently (bus €3-5).

Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians don't need visa for stays up to 60-90 days. Other nationalities—check visa requirements. Most nationalities get e-visa online for $50-60.

Voyage usually starts Saturday afternoon (14:00-16:00), ends next Saturday morning (by 10:00). Optimal: arrive Friday evening or Saturday morning, depart Saturday afternoon or Sunday. We can help with hotel for night before/after.

Technically yes, but it's both inconvenient and not cost-effective. A full week is the optimal length for both pricing and the onboard experience, since the first and last days are partly travel logistics. Mid-voyage pickups also depend on whether the yacht's planned route happens to pass an accessible port on the day you need. If you have strict date constraints — for example a wedding mid-week — write to us and we'll discuss individually whether a partial booking is feasible.

The price includes yacht accommodation in a private cabin, the captain's services and salary, fuel for the entire route, all port and marina fees, fresh linens and towels, 4G mobile internet for the group, basic snorkelling masks and fins, and end-of-cruise yacht cleaning. Drinking water and basic galley supplies are also covered. Meals on board, lunches ashore, excursions, transfers, and personal expenses are not included unless your specific cruise listing says otherwise.

Flight to Turkey, airport transfer (we can arrange), restaurant lunches (€10-20 per person), alcohol, personal expenses, shore excursions, scuba diving (if with tank), captain gratuity (optional, usually 5-10%).

Booking: 50% deposit (non-refundable but transferable to other dates if available). Balance: 14 days before voyage start. Payment: bank transfer, PayPal, cryptocurrency (USDT). No cash accepted onsite—cashless only.

Deposit non-refundable but transferable to another voyage (if available, 30+ days before start). If we cancel (weather, yacht breakdown)—full refund or transfer. We recommend trip cancellation insurance.

Yes. Teams of 6 or more get a 10–15% group discount. A full yacht charter — booking all 8 berths for one company or community — is more cost-effective than booking individual seats and gives you complete control over the itinerary, the workday rhythm, and team activities. For corporate offsites we discuss custom terms including invoicing through a Turkish entity, multi-yacht charters for larger teams, and add-ons like facilitated workshops or chef-prepared meals.

May-June: comfortable temperature (+25-28°C), fewer tourists, green nature, lower prices. Perfect for those who don't like heat. July-August: hot (+30-35°C), warm sea (+26-28°C), many tourists, higher prices. For swimming and sunbathing lovers. September-October: golden middle (+25-30°C), sea still warm (+24-26°C), fewer crowds, comfortable work.

Turkish coast is one of the most protected. Storms are rare, especially in summer. We monitor forecasts and don't go out in bad weather. If caught at anchorage—we simply stay in protected bay, work as usual. Yacht sits stable.

Technically yes, but comfortable May-October. November-April: cool (+15-20°C), rain, less infrastructure operating. We don't run winter voyages in Turkey—we move to Caribbean or Seychelles then.

For both. If you want to socialize—evenings and activities offer plenty of interaction. If you want quiet—you can work in cabin with headphones, read on foredeck, swim alone. No forced socializing, but atmosphere is friendly.

No. 40-50% of participants come solo. Friendly connections usually form quickly—common interests (remote work, travel, sailing) unite people. Many stay in touch after the voyage.

Remote workers: developers, designers, marketers, freelancers, entrepreneurs. Age 25-45 (with exceptions). Active, open to new experiences, often with interesting hobbies (climbing, paragliding, motorcycles, racing). People who value work-life balance.

Main languages: Russian and English. Most participants speak both at least at basic level. Captain speaks Russian and English. Turkish not required—everyone speaks English in tourist areas.

Yes, but note: this is a workation, not vacation. Everyone works mornings, activities afternoon/evening. If partner is ready to entertain themselves mornings (reading, swimming, exploring shore)—great. Same price.
