BODRUM SAILING AREA: Why do we think Bodrum is among the best areas in the World to set your sails. Here is why: 1-In this area you can find the most stable summer sailing winds in the Mediterranean. Bodrum is part of Aegea and Aegea means Meltemi. Meltemi is what makes Aegea. It is the wind that blows between May and October due to clashing weather systems over Balkans and Anatolia. It sometimes drops or oppositely gets really strong (especially in the western parts of Aegean sea) but almost never in the area of Bodrum. Bodrum and Gokova forms a good and wide channel for Meltemi to keep its strength between 3-5 Beaufort almost all day and every day. It generally drops with the sun set which enable calm nights. 2- It is safe too. For over 35 years of sailing in this area I have not witnessed any stoppage in water traffic during summer time. The wind rarely exceeds 5 Beaufort and reaches to gale levels. Even if it does, the area is surrounded by many good shelters within couple of nm's so you can get beautiful shelters within half an hour or so. Meltemi is also a wind that you may beg for in a Mediterranean summer as, being a Northern wind it brings bearable temperatures, ventilation and dry weather. AC in a boat in an Aegean summer night is absolutely not of a necessity. That has always been a special charm of the Aegean waters in the history. 3- According to there are 61 green (against dominant NE to W winds) mostly 4 or 5 star mooring spots within 30 nm distance which means about a half summer day of downwind sailing (Meltemi blows westerly in Gökova bay) away. The spots in Greek Islands within the same distance are not included in this number. If you include 30 4-5 star green spots in Hisarönü bay (of Turkey), which is 55 nm's away, than the wider Bodrum area happen to have almost 100 beautiful turquoise bays, and in addition to that about 10 Greek Islands to explore. In this area also the anchorages are less crowded compared to other favorable places . 4- The Gökova sailing means also sailing in a spacious area (44 nm's to 13 nm's). Hisarönü bay is similar in terms of width and depth. While providing safety with surrounding land, it also gives the feeling of open sea with its constant strong wind. The wind is mostly constant because there are no islands to block and destabilize the westerly blowing meltemi. 5- Almost 90 percent of the mooring spots are surrounded with pine forests, and almost all of them are filled with clear turquoise waters. You'll love swimming in every spot. There are also 3 ancient sites (Knidos Antique City, Sedir Island Historical sight and Bodrum fortress) that you can Moore right in front and visit. Additionally are numerous of walking terrains and seaside restaurants which you can enjoy. So our boat is located in a unique, heavenly area for a week of sailing vacation. No matter whether you rent our boat or not, we recommend you to sail in this area at least once in your life time. 5- Even though, being a sailor, you may not prefer the crazy night life and a lot of people, it is always nice to pass through Bodrum, which is the most favorite and beautiful vacation destination of Turkey.
