5 OF THE BEST SUPER YACHT MARINAS IN TURKEY

GOCEK SKOPEA MARINA

It seems only right to start the list with Türkiye’s original super yacht marina, Skopea Marina in Gocek. As the first large yacht marina in Gocek, it lies in the best position and is within an easy walk of Gocek town centre with all its high-end restaurants, bars, boutiques and facilities.

Skopea Marina not only boasts good facilities but is also home to a popular restaurant and a more relaxed beach side cafe and bar. Can Restaurant is the main attraction with tables overlooking the marina, an extensive drinks menu, and an impressive array of seafood, grills and Mediterranean dishes on offer. Can is regarded locally as one of the best restaurants in town so it’s often fully-booked – do make reservations in advance.

Skopea Marina can accommodate up to 80 yachts and those up to 110 meters can be tied to jetty. The larger yachts tend to moor on the southern side of the wharf where the depth is up to 5 meters. The entire site benefits from 24-hour security and special arrangements can easily be made.

Run a quick online search for “Gocek D-Marin” and you will be confronted with numerous glowing reviews suggesting it’s “the place to go” and a “scenic marina offering world-class services”.

D-Marin is one of Türkiye’s most popular marinas and often hosts sailing events attracting international yachtsmen.
