Autumn practice in Turkey

Our team traditionally completes its sailing season in the Mediterranean Sea on the wonderful Turkish coast. You can extend a piece of good weather and escape from Petersburg in the most inclement month in sunny and welcoming Turkey. At this time, we still bathe there and sunbathe, although it is worth recognizing that the evenings are already cool and it is worth taking a warm fleece and waterproof clothes with you.

A little bit about the region, this is one of the most beautiful and popular yachting regions. High infrastructure and convenience only attracts the masses of European and Russian yachtsmen, despite the end of the season, yachting life there is very lively in the fall.

Gezek's interesting location makes it a sought-after region for lovers of sailing and yachting. Thanks to the unique natural harbor, the small low-rise town has become an international yachting center. Crowned persons, representatives of bohemians, as well as all those who seek solitude and tranquility, come here in their boats. From the bay you can get to the islands untouched by man in the bay. There are 4 upscale marinas in Gecek: Skopey, Port Gezhek, Club Marina and City Marina. The capacity of Gezek marinas is about 1000 yachts of various classes and lengths. The city has more than 20 yachting companies specializing in the rental, sale and maintenance of yachts. Holidays at this resort are very popular among tourists from England, Germany, Italy and America. The British say that Gejek is “warm England”, but not Turkey at all.

Marmaris Bay is one of the largest natural bays in the world. The islands close the bay of Marmaris from strong winds and high waves, and its area is about 366 square meters. km The coastline extends over 34 km. The convenient location of the bay and its favorable climatic conditions made Marmaris one of the largest centers of sailing.

The weekly training program is very rich:
