SMOTA is a 2022 Excess 11 catamaran based at Göcek Mucev Marina, your gateway to Turkey's Turquoise Coast. This modern dual-hulled vessel combines the stability and space that make catamarans ideal for group charters with the agility needed to explore the pine-fringed bays and hidden anchorages that define this corner of the Mediterranean. With four well-appointed cabins sleeping up to eight guests, SMOTA welcomes families, groups of friends, or two couples seeking a week of unhurried sailing without the constraints of a formal itinerary.

The Göcek area offers an embarrassment of riches within a short sail: sheltered coves with turquoise water, ancient ruins dotting hillsides, and villages where local fishermen still bring in the day's catch. A typical week aboard unfolds at your own pace—mornings spent swimming and snorkeling in crystalline anchorages, afternoons exploring quiet villages or simply reading beneath the generous bimini that shades the cockpit. The catamaran's twin 29 hp engines provide reliable propulsion when the wind drops, while the comfortable cockpit cushions and onboard speakers set the tone for evening aperitifs as the light softens over the water.

Below deck, SMOTA is thoughtfully equipped for extended cruising. The holding tank ensures independence from shore facilities, while the voltage converter keeps devices charged. Heating allows for shoulder-season comfort, and the two full heads mean mornings run smoothly when everyone's ready at once. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or chartering for the first time, the catamaran's forgiving handling and spacious layout make the week feel less like a test of seamanship and more like an extended floating retreat.

Picture yourself anchored in one of the Twelve Islands, the sun melting into the horizon, the smell of grilled sea bass drifting from the galley, and the gentle clink of glasses as your group settles into the kind of evening that lingers in memory long after the week ends.
