Sailing in Bodrum

Experience the Aegean Under Sail

Bodrum and the surrounding Aegean coast offer ideal conditions for a wide range of sailing experiences, from relaxed coastal cruising to more adventurous passages. Aegean Connect Travel arranges sailing options to suit different skill levels and travel styles, including bareboat charter and flotilla sailing, both popular choices for international visitors.

For qualified sailors, bareboat charters allow complete freedom to explore the region at your own pace, navigating calm bays, secluded anchorages, and scenic routes between islands and coastal villages. For those who prefer added structure or community, flotilla sailing combines independent sailing with the support of a lead boat and group itinerary.

Skippered sailing is also available for travellers who want hands-on participation without full responsibility, offering the chance to learn, assist with sail handling, or simply enjoy the rhythm of the boat under experienced guidance.

Conditions vary by season: gentler winds in spring and autumn suit beginners and families, while summer brings stronger Meltemi winds for more confident sailors seeking a challenge. Time ashore can be just as rewarding, with opportunities to explore historic sites, lively harbours, and local cuisine along the way.

Ideal for: Beginners, families, and experienced sailors

Season: All year round (weather and conditions permitting)

Includes: Sailing yacht, skipper (where applicable), safety equipment
