NotesHi, We are a couple sailing our 54' Gulfstar ketch full time. This fall we will cruise along the SE coast of Turkey to Mersin, then on to Cyprus, the Suez Canal, Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt), Aqaba (Jordan), and Hurghada (Egypt). We are happy to share our cruise with anyone who has sailing experience and loves sailing. You will have to help out with all tasks on the boat and share in the costs. To make things simple we calculate the sharing cost to be €25 / day. The only thing extra you need to pay is your trip to and from the boat, dinners in restaurants, and any excursions you might make. You can join for part of the trip as best suits your schedule and vacation time.
