SK Yachting
COMBINING PASSION AND EXPERTISE IN YACHT CHARTERS
SK Yachting was founded in 2013 by two charter industry experts who gathered experience working for prominent fleet operators and decided to take a leap of faith by starting their own company. 20 years later, it is clear that it was a good idea, and their vision of making sailing holidays accessible to everyone regardless of previous sailing experience or the budget size is still what keeps their business going strong. SK Yachting is not looking for an impulsive fleet growth but rather perfecting the boutique experience they are providing and making sure each season they push their limits in achieving maximum customer satisfaction.
SAILING HOLIDAYS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE
SK Yachting is a charter company with over 10 years of tradition located in the beautifull Marmaris Yacht Marina at one of the most attractive maritime parklands in Turkey. Due to its close proximity to the centre of Marmaris, it is an ideal starting point for sailors looking to explore the magical coast of Turkey. The marina itself is equipped with all the amenities a guest could desire to have the most comfortable experience. SK Yachting focuses on making sure to pamper each client and accommodate all of their needs. On top of providing transfers for clients that need them, they welcome them in their at base offices and providing valuable information on how to take full advantage of the facilities at base.
While their boat is being meticulously inspected, cleaned and prepared for the next sailing adventure the guests get to relax by the pool, enjoy some authentic Turkish cuisine as well as an international menu at the restaurant. Adittionaly they can work on their fitness in a gym open any time of the day, pick up on their work in a private library often used as coworking space or, better yet, enjoy a cocktail at the beach bar. The marina is equipped with a grocery store, playground, hairdresser, medical personnel and anything one could possibly need during their sailing holiday.

IN-HOUSE CHARTER EXPERTS AND TECHNITIONS FOR GUARANTEED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
SK Yachting operates an impressive fleet of 36 yachts all based in Marmaris Yacht Marina. The fleet ranges from a compact Dufour 390 to luxorious 40+ feet catamarans, allowing SK Yachting to provide an ideal yacht for every sailor and every budget. The company takes great pride in helping make sailing holidays accessible to anyone. The fleet is maintained to the highest standards as SK Yachting has an in-house team of experienced technicians available 24/7. Their main priority is making sure the yachts are in top-notch shape at all times, while providing assistance to clients anytime and anywhere. Convenience is the baseline of their services as they are even offering travelling fuel stations able to travel to the client without disrupting their planned route.
All yachts in SK Yachting's fleet are outfitted with complete safety systems and emergency equipment, first aid bag, VHF radio, GPS chart“plotter, autopilot, ship's boat with paddles, bimini and music systems as standard equipment configuration. SK Yachting has a large team of almost 40 employees whose sole purpose is to maintain the level of customer satisfaction they are known for. The base staff is multilingual and very experienced, so check-in and check-out before and after every sailing trip is always a breeze. At the same time, their experience and know-how make them an ideal personal advisor for each client, often times helping them plan their sailing itineraries, explore further equipment options and answer any questions they might have. Amongst many unique selling points that make SK Yachting one of the top fleet operators in Turkey is the fact they are happy to accommodate any request, so they are no strangers to organising flotillas for groups of clients that remain talked about for years to come and keep their clients coming back for more.
EXCLUSIVE ACCES TO SK YACHTING EXPERIENCE VIA THE LARGEST GLOBAL MARKET
As a prominent charter operator with a significantly sized fleet, SK Yachting was on a look out for a way to empower their hard-working staff and provide them with time to focus on clients while streamlining and automating as much of their operations as possible. At the same time, the popularity of Turkey as a sailing destination was growing, and they needed a way to reach a global market; that is where Booking Manager comes into play. The cooperation came organically to SK Yachting quickly recognising the massive benefits of offering their real-time availability to a network of over 5000 agents that use the System daily. After a few seasons of testing their options at the beginning of 2024, they decided to become Booking Manager Golden Partner, making them a Booking Manager exclusive fleet while capitalising on lower operational costs and greater visibility.
This strategic partnership and strong personal bonds built between Booking Manager and SK Yachting powered by mutual desire to make sailing accessible to all customer profiles is the fuel that continually keeps on bringing value to both parties, and shows lots of promise for future colaborative projects.
