Ocean Wise know that spending time with our families is one of the most important things. It can be difficult to get quality time together, especially as children get older and adults get busier. With The Family Charter, guests will get 7 days to enjoy the company of one another on board our comfortable catamaran. Island hopping and exploring Turkey’s Turquoise Coast together creates precious memories with loved ones that will last a lifetime. With so many options, The Family Charter offers something for everyone, from action & adventure to quiet relaxation. Each trip is unique to every family, and our skipper will be delighted to plan the perfect week for you.
The islands around southern Turkey offer some of the most perfect family friendly beaches where parents can chill out, safe in the knowledge that there is no crowd for little ones to disappear into. The crystal clear waters are the ideal temperature for youngsters to improve their swimming, while the visibility means that snorkelling is a joy for everyone. Spot fish, crabs and maybe even turtles under the gentle waves. The stand up paddleboards available on Ocean Wise make for a great way for everyone to explore the little caves dotted along the coast, while short walks in the woods will introduce everyone to the gentle local wildlife such as birds and tortoises.
