Keep it simple. What we have experienced is whatever we packed we use only one pair of shorts and a couple t-shirts! We recommend you to bring  power banks to charge your phones because the energy is limited in the boat. Definitely bring sunscreen that does NOT contain trace oil and not in a spray bottle.  You may want to bring  a sweater just in case for chilly nights. 

APPA is based out of Fethiye Ece Saray Marina and we usually start  sailing  from here, and head towards the Gocek bays. However, if you want to start your journey from a different location, it may be possible for us to set different routes according to our availability.

If you’re prone to motion sickness there are things you can buy and take ahead of time. We do carry a supply of things on the boat to help. Some find a quick sleep will help get things back in order, others feel better sitting on the topside looking at the horizon. We will also spend time on land as we visit various tasty restaurants and hiking locations.

Extremely! In fact once you try it you just might get hooked! We try very hard to make it very comfortable for you.
