Imagine the scene.. a dramatic Mediterranean sunset, crystal
clear water inviting you for a dip before dinner, a 17m boat all to yourself, tranquillity, the smell of fresh
grilled fish from the barbecue, an ice cold local drink of raki in your hand..and the thought that you can do this
for the next 7 days.
Of course this may not appeal.. you may wish to share this experience with your loved ones, your family, your friends..no
problem. You may not like fish..no problem. You may prefer a little music to the sound of silence..no problem.
You may prefer gin and tonic, or a cold beer...no problem. And you can do this for as few or as many days as you
wish.
This is YOUR holiday, you're in the driving seat. Literally, if you wish.

My English-speaking husband Dogan, owner and fully-qualified captain of DELTA, has 17 years experience of sailing
in the area and is a keen and accomplished spear-diver. The fish for the barbecue can't get any fresher! I am English,
fluent in Turkish, and have been living in Bodrum for 15 years.
When it comes to planning your holiday, we will liaise with you personally, individually tailoring your holiday
to suit your wishes, and we will make sure you have a holiday to remember.
We are based in Bodrum, a picturesque and enchanting harbour town on the south-west coast of Turkey. Bodrum lies
at the mouth of the Gulf of Gokova, considered by many to offer the best sailing area in Turkey.
DELTA is our pride and joy: a 17m traditional wooden sailing gulet, built in Bodrum. She is comfortable and well-equipped
but not luxurious - there are 4 double cabins all with ensuite wc and shower, hot water, full sails, good music
system, separate crew cabin…but you won't hear the constant humming of a generator, so there is no 220V supply
- no use packing a hairdryer! Dogan and his 2 crew members will look after you during your cruise,
preparing food to your liking and plying you with cool drinks. How about a beach barbecue? Why not. Or dinner in
a restaurant on shore? No problem.
DELTA is suitable for groups of 2 - 8 people. A romantic honeymoon, special wedding anniversary, friends' reunion,
birthday gift, or just the perfect family holiday…whatever the reason, we'll make it a special holiday you won't
forget.
OUR SERVICE
First and foremost we are 'owner operators' and proud of offering a completely personal service combined with excellent
value.
Sure, we don't wear fancy uniforms but we offer a friendly, informal service backed by real expertise and experience.
With us you can enjoy a taste of the real Turkey: the warm hospitality of the local people, the stunning bays and
hidden coves, the reminders of ancient civilizations almost everywhere, the simple joy of eating a freshly-prepared
dinner under a star-studded sky.
Real Flexibility - You are not bound to just a 1 or 2 week holiday as with the main tour operators. You may wish
to combine a 5 day cruise with 10 days in a hotel, for example, or vice versa. You may have a preference over places
to visit and types of moorings, eg quiet, secluded bays, or small harbours. Wherever possible this will be your
choice.
Real Privacy / Exclusivity - When you book our boat, there will be no other guests on board.
Delta is suitable for just a couple, or a party of up to 8 people, depending on your preference and budget. Whether
you are looking for a party atmosphere, or a peaceful, relaxing holiday, the choice is yours.
Real Value - There is no middle-man, no tour-operator. Our overhead costs are low. For these reasons our prices
are competitive. You pay us direct, a 33% deposit guarantees your booking, the remainder is payable on embarkation.
Real Personal service - While planning your holiday, you will deal directly with myself and my husband. We will
answer all your queries about Delta and your itinerary. You will know exactly what your boat will be like, and
who your captain is. You can discuss menu preferences with us, special drink requests, transfers to and from the
airport, carpet buying trips, hotel reservations…whatever comes to mind.
Come with us and realize your dreams. You won't be disappointed.
