Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level.

Marmaris Port is surrounded by densily wooded mountains, splitted by ravines with some indentations bordered by pine forest. Marmaris Port lies in a diameter of 2,5 Mile and the depths are 30 m. The port is protected by Nimara (Yıldız) and Keçi Island from southerlies. Nimara Island is a peninsula, it is connected to the mainland with an isthmus called as Yalancı Boğaz.

The bay is connected to open sea by two passages. The passage Büyük Boğaz is 750 m wide and there are 38 m depths in the fairway. There are lights on both shores at the head of the passage.

Both shores are free from any obstacles. There are patches at İnceburun Light. Keep 30 m distance off.  The passage between Keçi Adası and Mehmet Sarı Burnu is called as Küçük Boğaz, it is 465 m wide. An islet Kargı Adası stands in the middle in the passage. There are sufficient depths (about 38 m) on both sides and they are free of dangers. This stretch of coast is fully covered by hotels and summer sites. A nice boulevard behind the beach between Marmaris - İçmeler continues for 7 km. The settings are impressive among flowers and pine trees.

Swimming areas are cordoned off with buoys. Boats can be anchored off swimming buoys , paying attention with piers locations ashore.

The main anchorage to be tucked up is on the western side of the port. The bottom is sand-weed and it provides good holding.  Boats swing at anchor in 8 - 14 m. Prevailing wind pushes swell in. Care is needed as this side gets very crowded by tripper boats and they constanly churn in and out. This anchorage becomes untenable when southerlies blow strong, it becomes too bumy. The anchorage on the northern side of Nimera Island affords sheltering from southerlies.

There are number of visiting boats and families winterizing afloat in Marmaris. Marmaris area carries typical Mediterranean climate characteristics- mild and rainy, relatively warm in winter and dry in summer.                                                                            

Marmaris sits on the marvelous natural harbour where Lord Nelson organised his fleet for the attack on the French at Abukir in 1798.

Marmaris is a popular designation for scuba diving.  There are several dive centers in Marmaris that arrange guided diving trips, excursions and even provide diving lessons for the inexperienced individuals, eager to try out this underwater sport.

This marina is a long and windy marina, run by the city of Marmaris, and hosts almost all of the charter boats in Marmaris. Private vessels can stay here if there is room. Some of the marina faces restaurants and bars that play music, but not so loud as the music played on "Bar" street, on block inward. No protection from any swells or wind
