The Waters She Calls Home

From Türkiye to Greece — every voyage, a new chapter.

Türkiye

Where East Meets West on Water

Queen of Datca is ideally positioned for exploring Turkey's legendary Mediterranean coastline, with her home port of Valletta and Turkish heritage making her the quintessential choice for chartering the Turkish Riviera. The waters off Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye, and the Datça Peninsula—from which she draws her namesake—represent some of the world's finest cruising grounds, with sheltered anchorages, azure coves, and villages steeped in ancient history.

From the Marmaris and Datça region, where she is regularly chartered, Queen of Datca can explore the Hisarönü Gulf's protected waters, venture into the Lycian coast's dramatic cliffsides and sunken cities, or traverse the Gulf of Gökova's island-dotted seascape. The Göcek and Fethiye areas offer forty islands and countless anchorages perfect for a leisurely week, each with authentic Turkish hospitality and fresh Mediterranean seafood. Ancient ruins at Kaunos, the turquoise lagoons of Ölüdeniz, and the pine-forested coves of Kas and Kekova provide both cultural immersion and natural splendour.

Her twin engines and 11-knot cruising speed make efficient passages between regions possible, whilst her water toys—kayaks, snorkelling gear, and tenders—enable intimate exploration of hidden caves and secluded swimming spots. Chartering Queen of Datca along Turkey's coast means combining world-class sailing with world-class hospitality, from cosmopolitan Bodrum to the serene anchorages of Kekova's sunken city.
