The Comar Yachts Comet 1050 is a fine choice for
charterers seeking performance in a bareboat cruising sloop. Completely manageable from the
cockpit, the sail plan is well balanced with a fast hull. Below decks there are two private
cabins, a salon area which converts to more berths, functional galley, separate navigation
station, and water closet with shower.

Further information concerning bareboat charters in Greece and Turkey may be obtained by clicking
on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. If you're not searching for a
fuzzy-headed celestial body with a long tail, you are probably searching for bareboat charters
in Turkey or Greece. Or you are perhaps searching for bareboat charters in Turkey and
Greece. If so, you have come to the right place as this page deals not with parabolic orbits but
with Italian-built sailing sloops called Comets. These are available for bareboat solo or flotilla
charter in Gocek, Turkey, and may be sailed from Gocek to the Greek Aegean. The Greek Aegean has
a long history with Italian sailors, most recently those of that country's navy who held sway
with an army of archaeologists during Italian occupation of the Dodecanese between 1913 and 1943.
The Italians came then in furtherance of a
legacy of Venetian and Genoese occupation of Aegean islands dating from the Fourth Crusade to the
seventeenth century. And, of course, the Romans were in the Aegean even earlier. There were others,
too, including a number of Ottoman sea captains at war with the city states of Italy. Two worthy
of mention were Calabrians from the foot of Italy, one called Chiaffer Reis and the other called
Uluc Ali or Occhiali (depicted at left), the first
father-in-law to the second, the second a novice in the Roman Catholic church until kidnapped
and bought out of slavery by his future father-in-law. The father-in-law was destined in 1570 to
succeed his son-in-law as Ottoman governor of Tripoli, while the son-in-law was to become the
last in a line from Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa of accomplished Ottoman fleet admirals. Early on,
though, Chiaffer Reis and Uluc Ali had a habit of piloting flotillas of fast galliots in pursuit
of Italian shipping en route from the Near and Middle East or between occupied islands. Visits to
those islands in search of rest and relaxation were also to be expected, as are visits from
bareboats cruising the Aegean today. Would you be interested in a bareboat charter from Turkey
into the Aegean? Aboard a Comet 1050? Aboard a charter yacht accommodating four? Would you like
to charter such a sailing yacht to cruise Cleopatra's route along the coast of Caria and among
Greek Dodecanese islands? While you holiday? Cleopatra had quite a few Italian sailors in company
when last she did it. Would you like to have a family holiday cruising her route from Lydae, near
Gocek, to Kos? By way of Caunos, Amos, Loryma, Stadia, Triopia, Knidos, and Cedrae? Would you like
to have a two-couple holiday aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely between these enchanting
locales? Or would you like to charter a yacht to cruise the Mediterranean coast of Turkey in the
other direction? Around Lycia? Starting in Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? Well, it
may be found at the NW corner of the Gulf of Fethiye forty-two nautical miles ENE of Rhodes Town
and not far from the international airport at Dalaman. There we can put you aboard a Comet 1050
for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a bareboat charter and show you the flat
sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, show you Pompey The Great's path down the coast
of Lycia, show you Cleopatra's route up the coast of Turkey and among Greek islands. A bareboat
suited to fast cruising in Turkey and Greece. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters
