What to Bring
The way of life on the Turkish coast is quite informal, so bring clothes suitable for life on board and evenings out in the marinas. It is a good idea to bring a hat and a light long-sleeved shirt to protect against the sun.
Please note we provide towels including beach towels on all our vessels.
On most of our boats there is 220V electricity available when the generator is running, or in the marinas when shore power is connected.
