Turkish Instructional Charter

Sept 5 – Sept 12, 2026

Have you ever dreamed of cruising the Mediterranean?  Wonder what it takes to do it yourself? Intimidated by med-mooring? Come join us as we cruise the Turkish Riviera, also known as the Turquoise Coast. Over the course of the week, you, your guest, and other sailing students will run the boat under the guidance and instruction of Capt. Josh Rundle as we explore the islands and coves from Marmaris to Fethiye.

Each day we will sail to a new location and spend 3-4 hours under sail or maneuvering under power. We will get plenty of practice docking, Med-mooring, anchoring, maneuvering in tight marinas, navigating narrow channels, and much more. What’s the fun of flying to the literal crossroads of civilization if you don’t spend some time exploring the area, both on land and below the water. Throughout the week we will be sure to highlight options to take in the best sights, sounds, restaurants, and historical landmarks. 

All levels of sailors are welcome to join! Instructional Charters are perfect for those just starting out and taking a first step towards bareboat, bareboat qualified students uncomfortable with their “first charter”, experienced sailors wanting to have fun while brushing up on skills, and really anyone wanting to learn and actively participate while on a sailing vacation. Your guests and friends are also welcome!

• This is ‘experiential’ training that blends private instruction with a real-world charter and sailing vacation. Simply, this is vacation + instruction + having fun.
• This is not an intensive certification or licensing course! We’re going to work instruction into much of what we do, but our goal is to have fun doing it!
• Your guest (partner, friend, etc…) can participate or just enjoy the ride. We prefer that your guest is an active participant; that’s part of the fun!
• Certification, SLC Licensing, and endorsements may be available. It really depends on your prior experience, coursework, and training – contact Josh to discuss further.
