Yachting in Turkey: Discover the most beautiful spots along the Turquoise Coast

When my boss sent me an email with the subject line “ASAP” for the sixth time that day, I knew it was time to get out of there. Anywhere with no cell service, where the only deadline is sunset. I chose Croatia. But not the typical kind, where you fight for a spot to lay your towel at the campsite. I wanted something more. And so my personal Skradin itinerary was born—a plan for a week-long escape from reality, where the wind in my hair and the salt water on my skin take center stage.

When the captain of our crew announced over a beer last winter, “This year we’re going yachting in Corsica, guys,” I pictured the usual sunbathing, the occasional grilled fish, and calm seas. How wrong I was! Corsica, that rugged “Island of Beauty,” doesn’t give you anything for free. But what it offers you in exchange for a little sailor’s sweat will stay with you forever.

For sailors, the sea is a place of endless adventure and freedom. At the same time, however, this dynamic environment presents unexpected challenges that require quick reactions, a cool head, and specific skills. That is precisely why sailing and freediving are becoming an increasingly popular and natural combination. This sport, known for its simplicity and effectiveness, offers sailors much more than just a recreational activity—it is a key tool for safety, problem-solving, and a deeper connection with the ocean.
