Prepare to set sail from the vibrant port town of Bodrum, experiencing the renowned Bodrum summer and turquoise water sailing at its best! Our Boat Spark-1 is docked at Milta Marina, right at the heart of Bodrum. Sailing at Bodrum means; uninterrupted breeze blowing between 3-5 Beaufort, , safe and turquoise anchorage points, green hills, coolness brought by the breeze, stunning Gökova region with access to around 10 Greek islands and the Gulf of Hisarönü. Bodrum is the first choice of all sailors who want a good sailing experience in Turkey and with all these features, in our opinion, Bodrum is one of the remarkable sailing regions in the world. *According to www.navily.com there are 61 green (against dominant NE to W winds) mostly 4 or 5 star mooring spots within 30 nm radius which means about a half summer day of sailing away. The spots in Greek Islands within the same distance are not included in this number. If you also include 30 4–5-star green spots in Hisarönü bay (of Turkey), which is 55 nm's away, then the wider Bodrum area happen to have almost 100 beautiful turquoise Turkish bays, and in addition to that about 10 Greek Islands to explore. Another important feature is that In this area the anchorages are less crowded compared to other favorable sailing spots. *In this area you can find the most stable summer sailing winds in the Mediterranean. Bodrum is part of Aegean and Aegean means ‘Meltemi’. It is the wind that blows between May through October due to clashing weather systems over Balkans and Anatolia. It sometimes drops or oppositely gets really strong (especially in the western parts of Aegean Sea). Nevertheless, Bodrum and Gokova forms a good and wide channel for Meltemi to keep its strength between 3-5 Beaufort almost all day and every day. It generally drops with the sun set which enable calm nights. *Meltemi is also a wind that you may beg for it in hot summer days. Being a Northern wind, it cools down the temperatures and brings ventilation and dry weather. AC in a boat in an Aegean summer night is not of a necessity. These conditions have created a special charm for the Aegean waters throughout the entire maritime history. *Beside the joy of sailing in the wind, the area features relaxed experience. For over 35 years of sailing in this area we have not witnessed any stoppage in water traffic during summer time. The wind rarely exceeds 5 Beaufort *The Gökova sailing means also sailing in a spacious area (44 nm's to 13 nm's). Hisarönü bay is similar in terms of width and depth. While providing safe and calm anchorage in numerous bays, it also gives the feeling of open sea with its constant strong wind. The wind is mostly constant because there are few islands to block and destabilize the westerly blowing meltemi. *Almost 90 percent of the mooring spots are surrounded with pine forests, and almost all of them provides clear turquoise waters. You'll love swimming in every spot. There are also 3 ancient sites (Knidos Antique City, Sedir Island Historical sight and Bodrum fortress) that you can anchor right in front and visit. Additionally, are numerous of walking terrains and seaside restaurants which you can enjoy. In this heavenly sailing area, you do not need to pay higher rental fees to the yachts with newer makes any more. Because Spark 1 our well maintained and spacious Bavaria 40 Cruiser boat in great condition, contains all the amenities for your comfort, possesses Bavaria solidness and user friendliness with reasonable pricing! In addition to these it has easy to manage sails and all electronic equipment (including bow thruster) for an easy navigation, got a strong solar energy supply and brand-new batteries for continuous electricity. It offers hotel-like comfort and privacy with 2 electrical toilet/showers, a coffee machine, stove top gas cooker, an oven, and 2 refrigerators, one of them with an ice making box. Bed linens, blankets and towels are free of charge. Spark 1 is continuously maintained for problem free cruising. The teak deck, wide sun-bathing surfaces together with an aft swimming platform contributes to an incredible swimming experience. With all these features and competitive prices Spark-1 is the boat you can book for without any hesitation. *Our charter is child and pet friendly.

Booking

How do I book a yacht?
Pick your dates and the crew option on the yacht's page, check the price breakdown, leave your details and pay. We send a confirmation request to the charter company, and once it answers, the booking is confirmed. The confirmation and the documents arrive by email.
Is availability shown in real time?
Availability is refreshed every hour from the charter companies' systems, and the catalogue once a day. The final availability and price are re-checked with the operator at the moment of booking, so what you see on the payment page has already been verified with them.
When is a booking considered confirmed?
Once the charter company has confirmed it in its own system. Until then the booking is being processed. If the operator declines, we cancel the booking and refund the money in full.
Can a yacht be put on option?
Yes, if the operator allows it: the yacht is held without payment for a limited time that the charter company itself sets. If the option runs out unpaid, the yacht is released and the booking goes back to the quote stage.

Payment

Which payment methods are available?
Online we accept card payment through Stripe. Some charges are collected by the charter base in person at check-in: the tourist tax, the refundable security deposit, fuel. Those are paid directly at the base.
Do I have to pay 100% up front?
If the charter starts more than two months from now, a 50% prepayment is usually enough, with the rest due before the start. If it starts within two months, the full amount is due at once. The exact terms for a particular yacht are shown in the price breakdown before you pay.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. The payment happens in Stripe's form, and we neither receive nor store your card number.
Is paying through Stripe safe?
Card details are entered in Stripe's secure form and never reach our servers. All we keep is the payment identifier, which we use to check its status.

Prices

What is included in the rental price?
The rental price is the yacht itself for the chosen period, with its standard equipment. The operator's obligatory charges and the optional extras are listed separately in the price breakdown, so the final total is visible before you pay.
What is a Charter Pack?
It is the charter base's standard package. It usually covers a gas cylinder, full fresh-water tanks, electricity at the base and a berth in the home marina for the whole charter. Operators put it together and name it differently, so check its contents and price in the extras list of the particular yacht.
What extra costs can come up?
Most often the final cleaning, the tourist tax, fuel, berths in marinas other than the home one, a skipper or a hostess, water toys. We show the obligatory charges in the price breakdown; the rest depends on your route.
Is fuel included?
No. Fuel is paid separately, usually by actual consumption when the yacht is returned to the base.

Licences

Do I need a skipper's licence?
For a bareboat yacht you need a licence recognised in the country of the charter, and in most destinations a radio certificate as well. If you take the yacht with a skipper or with a crew, no licence is needed.
Can I charter a yacht with a skipper?
Yes, if the operator offers that option. The crew choice is on the yacht's page, and the skipper's cost is added to the price breakdown.

Travel

What should I bring with me?
Identity documents for everyone on board, and the skipper's licence if you are sailing bareboat. A soft bag rather than a suitcase, because there is nowhere to stow hard cases. Shoes with light, non-slip soles, sun protection, personal medication. Bed linen and towels are usually provided by the base.
What are the check-in / check-out times?
Check-in and check-out times are set by the charter base and are stated on each yacht's page. Most often check-in is in the afternoon and check-out in the morning.
Can the route be changed?
Yes, you choose the route yourself within the permitted sailing area. Individual restrictions do exist, for example crossing into another country or sailing out to remote islands, and those are agreed with the base in advance.
What should I do in bad weather?
Go by the forecast and by the base's advice. In dangerous conditions the base can restrict going out to sea. It is a question of safety, and deciding to sit the weather out in the marina is a normal part of sailing.

Cancellation

What are the cancellation terms?
Cancellation terms are set by the charter company and differ between operators and rates. The terms for the yacht you chose are shown in the price breakdown before you pay.
Can a booking be rescheduled?
Rescheduling depends on the charter company and on whether other dates are free. Write to us and we will put the request to the operator.
