WHAT IS THE BODRUM CUP?
The Bodrum Cup is an annual international wooden yacht regatta
organized by ERA Bodrum Yacht Club. This is a fun event now entering
its 17th year, held every third week in October. The primary intention is to
promote interest and skill in sailing among the captains and crews
of Bodrum's charter fleet. It is a celebration of the ending of
each year's cruising season, a means to bring together in a friendly
encounter charter yachts that normally cruise on their own. And it
is a means to
extend the cruising season, since
passengers are welcome, to participate aboard competing yachts.
Privately owned yachts, Turkish or foreign - flag, are welcome to participate within the applicable categories
and many do so.
The magnificent vista of a horizon filled with the sails of Bodrum's
majestic wooden yacht fleet is a sight never forgotten.
With the added excitement of competition, all participants enjoy the
festive air as yachts anchor together at the end of each day to have
fun and trade tall stories that are the trade- mark of sailors.
