Summer Season 2021

Those Were the Days

A Message of Hope from Marmaris

Before the Pandemic: A Golden Time for Yachting in Turkey

Before the pandemic, Southwestern Turkey was one of the world’s most popular destinations for yachting and sea lovers. With its turquoise waters, peaceful bays, and timeless coastline, the region welcomed guests from all over the globe seeking unforgettable moments at sea.

Yachting in Turkey was not only about sailing; it was about freedom, connection with nature, and creating lasting memories with family and friends.

The Impact of the 2020 Season

Unfortunately, the 2020 season arrived with unprecedented restrictions that affected everyone around the world. Travel plans were cancelled, borders closed, and the simple joys of exploration were suddenly put on hold.

Like many others, we all realized how much we had taken those days for granted — days that now feel even more precious when we look back.

Looking Forward to Better Days

We strongly believe that those normal days will return. We remain hopeful that the world will once again enjoy the freedom to travel, discover new places, and reconnect with the sea.

There are countless reasons why Turkey remains one of the best destinations for a private yachting holiday — reasons we look forward to sharing with you again very soon. The unique combination of natural beauty, rich culture, and ideal cruising conditions continues to make this coastline truly special.

A Message from Marmaris

Until then, we wish all our friends around the world good health, peace of mind, and strength. We believe in staying hopeful and looking ahead to a brighter future.

We are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you back to our beautiful country.

With love and respect,
from Marmaris

Moreover, the services provided by Sunshine Cruising were not only Professional, they were friendly. A %100 satisfaction quote is not exagerated. Sincere thanks to Esra and her team.

This week, we find so many nice places on our way to Bozburun and back. So many nice bays hold us safe over night, swimming, fishing and the beer we could enjoy every day. The ship is in a good and safe condition. Many thanks for the nice days!

  • Bu dördüncü gelişimiz Marmaris'e. Herbiri, birbirinden güzel bir tatil oldu. Denizi, havası hiç bizi üzmedi. Kiraladığımız tekneler temiz ve bakımlılardı. Bunun için Sunshine Cruising’e bütün arkadaşlar ismine teşekkür ederim.
