Questions

I have never owned a sailing yacht. Is that a problem?

No. Handover includes two days of training, and in the first season our skipper can sail with you for a few days.

Why are there no prices on the site?

Every boat depends on keel, layout and package. We give a written quote based on your choices.

How long until delivery?

6 months for the Meltem 38, 8 for the 46, 12 for the 54 and 16 for the 60. The exact date is set in the contract.

Is she suitable for charter?

The Meltem 46 and 60 have charter layouts. We can also support charter management in Bodrum.

Where does the boat stay in winter?

Ashore in Turgutreis if you like. We handle maintenance, antifouling and the spring launch.
