RECHARGE YOUR BODY AND SOUL

Recharge your body and soul with clean, salty sea air and cleanse all the stress of city and work life. Make your own route, choose your own stops, and go to the places that YOU want to go! All this is possible when you charter a yacht. Experience is not necessary to embark on such an exciting adventure. For those who are new to sailing, our professional captains will take care of everything; you just choose the route! Due to the natural isolation a yacht provides, you can safely enjoy your vacation with friends and family!

Additionally, you can also gain sailing experience and complete training during your charter, with the skipper acting as your instructor. For those who have a sailing license and experience but are not yet confident enough to sail alone, you can join a flotilla where at least two or more boats sail collectively, under the supervision and management of the lead yacht captain, who serves as an instructor and advisor. This way, you can gain experience as the skipper of the yacht you have chartered and easily resolve any problems and difficulties that may arise, with the help of the lead yacht. For extra peace of mind, stay in contact with the lead yacht via VHF radio and telephone; that way, you can gain valuable experience with an additional layer of security!

Sailing shouldn't be stressful or harsh. Our modern yachts are spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary creature comforts to make your sailing vacation as relaxing as possible. Each of our yachts is 16 meters (50ft) long and has five ensuite cabins. We won't allow anything to prevent you from endlessly enjoying the bays of the Aegean paradise.
Our Yachts are

Fully equipped for comfortable cruising,

unlike typical Bareboat charter boats, which have the minimum possible inventory:

All our yachts are large and comfortable, providing a spacious and stable platform for sailing. Each yacht has four double cabins with ensuite WC/shower. The well-laid out galley includes modern amenities such as a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, coffee machine, stove, oven, and more, allowing you to easily prepare food on board. If you prefer stress-free cooking, simply moor the yacht at one of the restaurant piers and indulge in mouth-watering Aegean cuisine ashore. Additionally, our yachts are equipped with air conditioning, TVs, and stereo systems, in addition to comfortable interior layouts and modern furnishings. Our yachts demonstrate that you can enjoy the comforts of home while sailing!

Our Mission: To Teach Sailing on the Sea and
Create Unforgettable Memories
in the Aegean Sea.

Pablo Neruda's Poetry

He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience,
dies slowly.

He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.

He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.

Let's try and avoid death in small doses,
reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.

We have used Smart sailing on multiple occasions and they have never disappointed us. Tansel and the staff are super accommodating from start to finish. Their fleet of boats are well equipped and maintained, which makes a pleasant experience for all participants. The sailing courses are fun and if you just want to sit back and enjoy the Turkish Mediterranean coast, I would highly recommend booking a tour with Smart Sail. By far the best sailing charter company I have experienced and we can’t wait for the next trip.

Smart Sailing Academy ile iki yelkenli turu yaptım. İlki Mayıs 2022, ikincisi Eylül 2022'deydi. Yaşağıdığım iki deneyim de birbirinden güzeldi. İlkinde Kairos marinanın kuzeyine doğru açıldık. Çökertme ve Kleopatra adası gibi muhteşem ve tekneyle gitmek dışında gidemeyeceğim yerler gördüm. İkinci seyahatimde yine Kairos'un doğusuna doğru açıldık. Bu sefer Kocabahçe ve Bozukkale gibi harika yerler gördük. Dünyanın en güzel el değmemiş sahillerinde yüzmek, antik zamanlardan kalma yapıları görmek, arkadaşlarınızla başka yerlerde yaşayamayacağınız deneyimler tecrübe etmek ve en iyi müşteri hizmetini almak istiyorsanız Smart Sailing Academy'i denemenizi öneririm. Onlarla bir sonraki seyahatim Temmuz ve Eylül aylarında olacak. Dört gözle bekliyorum. Tansel Bey'e ekstra sevgiler ve hürmetler... bu kadar profesyonel olduğu ve en iyi kaptanlarla çalıştığı için. #smartsailingacademy4life

Я проходила обучение в школе Smart Sailing Academy в 2019 г у замечательного опытного профессионала своего дела, инструктора Ивана. Это был очень интересный, интенсивный формат обучения, хорошая организация процесса обучения, отличная лодка, предоставленная школой. Процесс обучения проходит в виде перехода вдоль побережья средиземного моря Турции. Практика следует неотрывно от теоретических знаний. С каждым днем мы приобретали новые знания и уверенность в своих силах, посетили множество красивых мест и уникальных живописных бухт. Также хочу поблагодарить школу за предоставленную возможность совершить переход через Атлантику в 2022 г. Это незабываемые эмоции, уникальный и неповторимый опыт, замечательный интернациональный экипаж и настоящее приключение, которое останется в моем сердце и душе навсегда. Отдельное Спасибо Tansel (владельцу школы Smart Sailing Academy)!

I went on a boat adventure with Smart Sailing last May and had an amazing time. Seas the Moment, the boat we were on, was well equipped for our needs and was a trusty steed to carry us around the Turkish coast. Our captain, Captain Jake, was an excellent leader who taught us important knots for sailing while engaging us in hands-on participation of basic boat care. The land crew was available immediately for any troubles we ran into and it was clear we were in safe, competent hands throughout. Though we were all beginners, each of us came away with a new passion for sailing. Thank you, Smart Sailing!

Sailing the Turkish Riviera is beautiful, but sailing with Smart Sailing is a level above and beyond. Tansel and his team know every cove, port and remote feeding shack dotting the beautiful coastline. They know every buoy, rock and other hazards, and share many local anecdotes. Their sailboats are extremely well appointed and maintained, while the license courses, sailing, anchoring, shore handling and dock maneuvering are skilfully taught. The Smart sailing team ensures a very safe environment while maintaining a fun ambiance, has great logistics support and is very helpful to their clients. Personally, I was lucky to find Tansel and sail with him and his team. Whether around the Datca peninsula, or in Biscay, around Cabo de Roca, through the Gibraltar, Messina straight and further. I met wonderful people every time and made friends. Definitely the crew to sail with again and again.

Smartsailing ekibi ile 2017 yılında tanıştım, IYT ehliyeti için eğitim almak isteyen bir tanıdığımın önerisiyle bu deneyime adım attım. İlk sailing tecrübemdi, denizde bir hafta geçirmek, oradaki koşullar gibi tereddütlerimiz vardı. Kaptan Gülen ile birlikte çıktık. Arkadaşlarımızla beraber planladığımızdan çok daha keyifli ve eğlenceli bir eğitim oldu, yeni inşalarla tanıştık ve gerçekten harika bir tatildi. Sonrasında Gülen kaptan ile iletişimimizi hiç koparmadık. Herkesin tatil zamanı değerli ve güzel bir ekip ile geçirmek istediği bir gerçek. Bu yüzden 3 kez daha bir araya gelip açıldık ve her seferinde ayrı maceralar ve güzel anılar biriktirdik. Geçen yıl, yine Gülen ve Tansel kaptanlarımızla birlikte Datça'dan yola çıktık. Bu müthiş zihin dinlendiren aktiviteyi sizin sayenizde keşfettiğim için çok memnunum. Umarım bu yıl da birlikte güzel bir hafta geçirebiliriz. Pruvanız neta rüzgarınız kolayına olsun.

Smart Sailing ile 2016 yılında tanıştık, daha ilk bilgi alma konuşmamızdan itibaren bize doğru yerde olduğumuzu hissettirmişlerdi. Hem Yunan adalarında, hem Ege sahillerinde 3 hafta eğitim aldık ve yaptığımız en güzel tatillerden biri olarak da anılarımıza kazındı. International crew, Bareboat Skipper ve Rib Master ehliyetlerimizi Smart Sailing ailesi ile kazandık. Aynı zamanda hem ciddi bir eğitim alıp hem her şeye bu kadar güleceğimizi ve bu tanışmanın, sonrasında bitmeyen bir dostluğa dönüşeceğini hayal edemezdim. Herkes için özenli, butik, kaliteli ve etik bir eğitim anlayışları ve sevecen bir yaklaşımları var. Tekneler her zaman çok temiz, konforlu ve tüm ekipman bakımlı. Öğrenmeyi kolaylaştırırken aynı zamanda teknede olmanın, denizci olmanın tüm ciddiyetinin, farkındalığının sizin içinize işlemesini sağlıyorlar. Her seferinde unutamayacağımız yeni tecrübelerle kendilerinden ayrılıyoruz ve sonraki buluşmalarımızı iple çekiyoruz.

I've had occasion, or I should say privilege, to sail with the Smart Sailing Team three times. In 2019, I had an amazing one week to Greek Islands with the invitation of a friend of mine. I enjoyed the journey a lot and after that I decided to get the IYT BB Skipper license. Beside the daily sailing trips, I had occasion to meet with people from different corners of the world (from USA to Australia, from UK to Vietnam, Sweden). Every day was a different journey. We had a great time altogether on each stop and enjoyed the delicious food in great restaurants. Following year, we had a charter trip to Hisarönü bays. This time I was with my wife and some close friends. This was a completely different experience but one thing was unchanged: We enjoyed nature, the food and the friendship and as always we made new friends. And last year, similar to my first year, I had occasion to sail with a completely different crew. This time we were in Gökova. It was a flotilla trip during which we had great time whole team. Overall I would recommend Smart Sailing for various reasons. Not only Tansel is a great captain with amazing experience but also he's a lovely person to meet and travel with. There is so much to learn from him. His team consists of young, agile skippers with whom you can have an exceptional occasion to learn about the sea and sailing. Gülen is the meticulous coordinator who ensures that everything is smoothly organized. So, if you want to learn how to sail or enjoy a sea trip on comfortable, clean, well-designed boats or if you want to have a relaxed holiday, swim and enjoy the dinner or if you want to meet new friends or simply if you want to go for holiday but you do not know what to do or where to go.. the address is Smart Sailing for anyone from all around the world.. Satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

Smart Sailing ailesi ile ilk tanışmamız 2017 yılında tekne ile tatil ve yelkenli eğitimi alma fikri ile gerçekleşti. 1 haftalık sürecin daha ilk gününde Tansel ve Gülen kaptanların sıcakkanlı karşılamaları ile, kaptanlı teknede ailece rahat bir tatil geçirebilecek miyiz endişesini bir kenara bıraktık. Tansel kaptanın sabahları aksatmadan anlattığı teorik dersler, sonrasında seyir halinde verdiği pratik eğitimler ve yapılan sınavlar ile 2018 yazı bittiğinde Bareboat Skipper ve VHF ehliyetlerine sahip bir amatör denizci olmuştum. Bunun verdiği heyecan ve Tansel kaptan gibi tecrübeli bir kılavuza sahip olmanın verdiği özgüven ile 2019 yılında 2 haftalık Türkiye- Yunanistan seyahatinde flotilla halinde 50 feet bir tekneye kaptanlık yapmış olmak, belki de yıllarca elde edemeyeceğim bir tecrübe kazanmamı sağladı. Belki de en önemlisi Tansel ve Gülen kaptan gibi iki mükemmel dosta sahip olduk ailece.
