The Gulet gauntlet

The challenge: a family yacht charter in the Med, somewhere uncrowded and hassle-free, at the busiest time of the year

Two massive, landlocked bays where flat, sheltered water is pretty much guaranteed

Close to Gocek, the deeply indented bay known as Skopea Limani has an almost unlimited choice of good anchorages

Gocek is a very pleasant place to start and end a charter, with a big choice of easy anchorages within easy reach
