with fine lines and a superbly handcrafted interior built of solid teak. The center of on-board activity is the large, cushioned, central cockpit which can seat eight for alfresco dining. Uncluttered decks offer ample room for sunbathing or lounging in the shade of a sun awning. A stern platform with swim-ladder provides easy access to and from the sea. Blue Marlin is equipped with snorkeling and fishing gear while a windsurfer and sea kayak can be made available on request. The yacht carries a full inventory of sails and was designed for easy handling by a crew of two. As a sailing yacht, Blue Marlin delivers in every respect.

Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information concerning charter sailing in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Are you searching for a yacht charter sailing Turkey or Greece? Are you considering a yacht charter sailing Turkey? Do you hope to go charter sailing in Turkey from pine-fringed bay to pine-fringed bay? Or are you dreaming of a yacht charter sailing Greece? Because you would prefer to go sailing in Greece from remote Greek island to remote Greek island? Or would you perhaps really like to do both. Beginning maybe with a cruise along the coast of ancient Caria, the southwest corner of Turkey. Or a sail in Cleopatra's wake along the coast of Caria and among Greek Dodecanese islands. While you holiday. That's right, while you have a family holiday aboard a crewed sailing yacht cruising just as did Cleopatra on her galley honeymoon with Marc Antony. Among other places visited, Cleopatra paused for weeks on the island of Kos where Blue Marlin has often been found between charters. She also paused at Cedrae about thirty miles east of Kos, there importing sand from Egypt for her swimming pleasure. Would you like to have a family holiday sailing Cleopatra's route? Enjoying a similar swimming pleasure. Sailing north along the coast of ancient Ionia, a part of the west coast of Turkey, to Kusadasi and Ephesus, thence to Samos in the Greek Sporades. Just as did Cleopatra and Marc Antony. They paused for at least seven weeks in Samos. Some accounts make it seven months. Would you like to discover what it was they found so interesting? Try Blue Marlin. Blue Marlin can take you to all of the stops along Cleopatra's route. Beyond Samos into the central Aegean, to Mykonos and Paros, to Milos and Kithera, to Kephalonia in the Ionian and on to Levkas and Preveza. It was at Preveza that Cleopatra's honeymoon came to an end. Preveza, you see, was then known as Actium. Cleopatra aside, would you prefer to have a group of friends holiday with you aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely from one enchanting Turkish locale to another? Would you like to charter a sailing yacht to cruise further along the Aegean coast of Turkey? Sailing the numerous tracks of Antiochus II who ruled here in the third century before the Christian era. Starting in Bodrum, perhaps. Antiochus, it might be noted, was then King of Syria and ruler of an empire including much of Anatolia. He regularly cruised the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts of Turkey. You can, too. Antiochus on his final visit never returned home. So enamored with the Seven Wonders Mausoleum in Bodrum he built himself a similar resting place near Ephesus. At Belevi. Take a look while you're visiting Ephesus. It's quite something. And visit the archaeological museum in Izmir for a look at the winged griffins removed from the Belevi tomb. Do all of this and more aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you the routes of Cleopatra and Antiochus II, a superb crewed yacht available for charter sailing in Greece and Turkey.
