Family Sailing from Marmaris to Knidos

Seven days of relaxed family sailing along Turkey's stunning Datça Peninsula — from the lively marina of Marmaris to the ancient ruins of Knidos. Crystal-clear bays perfect for swimming and snorkelling, pine-covered hillsides to explore, and a touch of history the whole family will love.

Next departure: June 6, 2026. Book early to secure your cabin — 7-day cruises fill up months in advance.

Seven-day family sailing vacation from the Marmaris marina along the Datça Peninsula to the ancient ruins of Knidos. From €1,100 per person with the early-bird discount, €1,300 at the standard rate, or €2,200 for a private family cabin for two adults. All-inclusive: yacht accommodation, three meals a day, fuel, marina fees, snorkelling gear for adults and kids, and a professional skipper who handles all the sailing. Ideal for families with children aged 6 and up who want a relaxed mix of swimming in shallow turquoise bays, walking through ancient ruins, and eating fresh seafood in small fishing villages — without the travel-logistics stress of a typical holiday. The hook: daily swim stops in calm coves, dolphin sightings, and a kid-friendly skipper who teaches children the basics of sailing.

Family Sailing from Marmaris to Knidos
Datça Peninsula

Why Marmaris–Knidos?

The Datça Peninsula is one of Turkey's best-kept secrets: wild, uncrowded, and draped in olive groves and pine forests. The route offers a rare combination of ancient history, unspoiled nature, and the reliable 4G coverage that keeps your workday running smoothly. Passages are short — rarely more than 30 miles — so the work-sail balance stays firmly in your hands.
The Route
Marmaris · Bozburun · Selimiye · Datça · Knidos

The Route

A 7-day round trip along the Datça Peninsula — one of Turkey's most pristine sailing corridors. Short daily passages leave plenty of time to work, swim, and explore ancient ruins.
Marmaris — Departure
Marmaris — Departure. The starting point — a vibrant marina town with a 16th-century castle, a winding bazaar, and excellent boat provisioning. We depart in the afternoon and anchor in the first quiet bay within a few hours.
Bozburun
Bozburun. A sleepy fishing village on the Hisarönü Gulf, famous for its traditional gulet (wooden schooner) builders. A perfect work morning in the cockpit followed by a swim in calm, crystal-clear water.
Selimiye
Selimiye. A hidden bay framed by pine-covered hills and a small village of whitewashed houses. Excellent snorkelling, a handful of waterfront restaurants, and reliably fast marina Wi-Fi for the afternoon calls.
Palamutbükü
Palamutbükü. One of the most beautiful wild beaches on the Datça Peninsula — a long pebble shore backed by fig and olive trees. The turquoise water is some of the clearest in the Aegean; a natural recharge between two work days.
Knidos — The Highlight
Knidos — The Highlight. The jewel of the route — an ancient Greek city at the very tip of the Datça Peninsula, founded in the 4th century BC and famous for the Temple of Aphrodite and its lighthouse. Anchor in one of two natural harbours and explore the ruins at sunset.
Datça
Datça. The main town of the peninsula — a relaxed place with good restaurants, a traditional market, and a hammam. Worth a morning at the local café with your laptop before an evening stroll and dinner ashore.
Return to Marmaris
Return to Marmaris. The final passage home — a comfortable 40-mile run, often with a tailwind. One last swim stop in a bay, then back to the marina in time for evening flights.
Where do we spend our time
Our Turkish fleet

Where do we spend our time

Our fleet will consist of one or more comfortable catamarans. On board each one, you’ll find everything needed for living: four or five cabins with comfortable beds and storage, two to three bathrooms with showers and hot water, and a spacious saloon with a kitchen. And of course, Wi-Fi internet.
A spacious catamaran
A spacious catamaran. It is more than a boat — it’s a floating living and working environment designed for comfort, balance, and freedom. Wide decks, bright panoramic interiors, and separate living areas create a sense of openness that you rarely feel at sea. Multiple social zones allow people to work, relax, and connect without getting in each other’s way.
The panoramic saloon
The panoramic saloon. The panoramic saloon is a quiet workspace protected from sun and wind. A large table, a nearby kitchen, and a stable surface for your laptop make it feel like a bright office in the middle of the sea. Perfect for deep-focus work, planning sessions, and long conversations with your team.
Cockpit
Cockpit. The cockpit naturally turns into a coworking area: a large table, shade from the bimini, power outlets, and a steady daily rhythm. This is where work sessions, brainstorms, and sunset dinners happen after tasks are done. The sea is right there, but work doesn’t stop — it just feels lighter. It’s a place where Slack calls can end with a jump into the water, and ideas come faster than they do in an office.
Kitchen area (galley)
Kitchen area (galley). It is designed to feel closer to a compact apartment kitchen than a typical boat setup. With generous counter space, a stove, refrigerator, sink, and plenty of storage, cooking on board becomes easy and social rather than purely functional. Because the galley is usually integrated with the saloon and cockpit, it naturally becomes part of daily life on board. You can prepare breakfast while talking with the crew, make coffee between meetings, or cook dinner together after a day of work and swimming.
Cabins
Cabins. After a day filled with both work and swimming, your cabin becomes a personal retreat. A full-size bed, fresh air, soft lighting, and quiet surroundings help you recover and wake up ready for the next day.
Head (Bathroom)
Head (Bathroom). The head on a modern catamaran is a fully equipped bathroom with a marine toilet, sink, mirror, and shower. Thanks to the width of the twin hulls, the space feels noticeably more comfortable than on most monohull yachts — closer to a compact apartment bathroom than a typical boat setup.
