A Passage from Fethiye to the Adriatic
A New Voyage Across the Mediterranean
A sailing voyage from Fethiye to the Adriatic coast is one of the most complete examples of long-distance sailing and boat delivery planning.
Such a voyage is more than covering the distance between two ports. The boat's preparation, crew experience, weather, resupply, alternative harbours and international procedures all have to be considered together.
At Peace & Sails we look at voyages like this from a seamanship and delivery-planning point of view, and explain the stages a long passage can involve.

2. Leaving the Turkish Coast
The departure port, official exit formalities and the planned route are confirmed. The first leg is planned around the boat and the forecast.
3. Across the Mediterranean
On a long voyage, the legs, safe waiting points and resupply options are worked out in advance.
The order or length of the legs may change with the weather. Safety comes first at every stage.
4. Into the Adriatic
How you reach the Adriatic depends on the chosen route, the boat's capability and the crossing conditions. Alternative ports, charts and up-to-date forecasts are reviewed throughout.
5. Arrival at the Destination Port
Before arrival, the port's acceptance terms, berthing, required documents and handover procedures are checked.
For a delivery, the scope of handover, the boat's condition and each party's responsibilities are agreed in advance.

Can a sailboat be delivered from Fethiye to Croatia?
Yes, with a suitable boat, enough crew, favourable weather and sea conditions and the required documents. The actual route and legs depend on the boat and the destination port.
How many days does a delivery from Fethiye to Croatia take?
It depends on the departure and arrival ports, the route, the boat's speed, the weather and stops for rest and resupply. An exact duration isn't possible before the boat and route are known.
What preparation does a long-distance delivery need?
A technical check of the boat, safety equipment, navigation systems, crew ability, weather assessment, resupply plan, alternative harbours and international documents all need reviewing before the delivery.
Can the route change during a long delivery?
Yes. Weather, technical needs, harbour availability or safety can change the route and legs. That's why alternatives are worked out in advance.
How do I get a quote for a delivery like this?
Send the boat's make and model, length, current port, destination port and preferred dates. Each request is assessed for the specific boat and route.
