FOOD

Crew of each boat do the shopping jointly and share the costs equally. We can provide a suggested shopping list. People might cook inside or enjoy local food in a local restaurant in bays. Please note, the Skipper’s food is shared by all participants equally.

PROGRAM 

We stop at different bays or islands each night. We will sail according to our due course as per the route and passage plan. The route will depend on the particular week chosen by you. We have many different routes to choose from and of course they are always subject to the weather conditions and external factors. The sailing routes can be changed upon the Skipper's discretion.

There is free time daily until 10:00 for trainees, and until  12:00 for non-trainees. The skipper will usually organise a trek to a historical ruin or a hike in nature every morning at 8:00 before breakfast. You can choose to join or not. In our region, the wind usually picks up at around 12:00 PM, so we depart for our next location at around noon.

We arrive at our next destination in the late afternoon or early evening. You can enjoy the sun, sea and nature, or walk around to explore in your free time. You must be back at the yacht as per the skippers instructions so the yacht's departure is not delayed by you. 

On most evenings we enjoy dinner together either on the boat or in a restaurant where we can enjoy long conversations. After dinner people might choose to do some other activities together like playing games, more conversation, going out, an evening walk in peace and nature. This is totally up to you and you can choose to simply return to the boat. 

CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT 

Saturday is check-in and meeting day. Our sailing yachts are located in Cairos Marina (on C Pontoon if you start in Bodrum). If you are joining the boat in Marmaris, check our location before you arrive.  You can check in anytime after 16:00 and settle on board.

Our first briefing is held at approximately 17:00 and then we stock up on provisions. We have our first dinner together in the marina and afterwards people can explore the colourful Marmarisian or Bodrum nightlife!

Sunday is our first day of sailing. We finish our last minute shopping and start our voyage around noon.

Our sailing tour ends Friday (1 week later); after 16:00. You may leave the yacht or stay one more night to enjoy Marmaris/Bodrum. You have to check out by the latest at 10 AM on Saturday morning to allow for cleaning and preparation for the next group.
