Departure marinas
Finike marina, charter departures
A quiet working marina with the snow line behind it.
Finike marina, charter departures
Finike is a large calm marina in a citrus town, and it is the least crowded departure on this coast. Pontoons are wide, there is ample free parking and the whole place moves at the pace of a working port rather than a resort. If you want a boarding with no queue, this is it.
Leaving Finike you have the odd sight of orange groves in the foreground and snow on the Taurus behind, which holds into May. Turn east and Cape Gelidonya with its five islets is an hour off; turn west and the Kekova channel opens in two.
Finike suits guests staying between Kumluca and Demre, and anyone whose plan is to round Gelidonya or reach Kekova without the transit from Antalya.
About Finike
Finike is a working town of citrus groves and a large calm marina, and behind it the Taurus range goes high enough to keep snow into May. That contrast, orange trees in the foreground and white peaks behind, is the reason to leave from here. Kekova is two hours west, Cape Gelidonya an hour east.

Common questions
How long does it take to reach Finike?
About 4.5 h of sailing from the departure marina, which is why boarding is early and the return is timed for the last of the light.
Is lunch included on a Departure marinas?
A full Mediterranean lunch is prepared aboard by the chef, with soft drinks, water, tea and Turkish coffee included. Wine and spirits are charged separately or you are welcome to bring your own.
Can we swim at every stop?
At almost all of them. The exception is directly over protected ruins, where swimming is restricted by law, so the swim stop moves to the bay alongside.
What happens if the weather changes?
The captain reroutes to the sheltered side of the coast, which on this coastline almost always works. If a day genuinely cannot sail, you are refunded in full.
How many guests can come?
From two up to twelve, depending on the yacht. Larger parties are handled by taking two boats out together on the same route.
