About chartering in Palmiye Marina

Chartering in Palmiye Marina means starting from a sheltered Orhaniye Bay base on Turkey’s southwest coast, with calm-water cruising and easy access to the Gulf of Hisarönü. It is a practical departure point for sailing yachts and catamarans.

The main nearby departure area is Palmiye Marina itself in Orhaniye, where charter yachts are commonly checked in and out at the base. From here, sailors typically begin along the Marmaris-Orhaniye coastline and then head toward the more protected coves and inlets of the surrounding gulf.

A day trip from Palmiye Marina can reach nearby anchorages, short coastal hops, and island-studded waters within the wider southwest Turkey cruising area. The setting suits relaxed local sailing rather than long open-sea passages, with routes that can stay close to shore and return to base the same day.
