Marmaris is a big, busy sailing town with a large marina, and it makes a confident start to a catamaran charter. The harbour is sheltered behind its pine-covered hills, and the marina has everything you need before you cast off. Step aboard a catamaran and the pace softens at once: a level deck instead of a lean, a roomy cockpit for the whole group, and trampolines forward where the kids will spend half the holiday.
The cruising from Marmaris is wonderfully varied. The Gulf of Hisarönü unfolds first, all quiet bays and small harbours, and beyond it the long Datça peninsula points the way to the Gulf of Gökova further north. A catamaran's shallow draft lets you anchor close in at coves the keelboats pass by. Across the strait sits the Greek Dodecanese, with Rhodes and pretty little Symi within reach, so a Marmaris charter can mix Turkish gulfs with a Greek island or two.
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is around an hour and a half from Marmaris by road, with strong summer flight links, and a private transfer makes the run simple. Every catamaran is fully crewed, with a skipper who knows the local winds and the cross-border paperwork, and a cook to keep you fed. Send us your dates and party size for the right boat.
