Jet-skis and other watersports

[paddye17]

Hi all,

I have a nephew coming to Yalikavak for a week and he's interested in trying jet skiing and other watersports on the Bodrum peninsula. As an old cronie with absolutely no appetite for anythintg energetic, I haven't a clue where he should go. I've heard that Gumbet might be the best bet? Help!

Can't help with your question, but PLEASE! ensure that he has the relevant insurance in place.

For jet skiing Gumbet or maybe better at Bitez? For wakeboarding / waterskiing - Ortakent _ try Onboard( Dave) at Tamarisk Hotel- also do hobitcat sailing/ windsurfing tuition / rental. The shade under the tamarisks is excellent for the other read-book department! There is the new set-up of hobicats etc at the end of the Gumusluk beach promising tuition. There must be some sail / windsurf base near Musti's still?

Sleepy Yalikavak only has the odd wind surfer and the boats as they go in and out fishing/touring, ahhh bliss

Hi Paddye,

I second Chris' recommendation of Dave at the Tamarisk, although I'm not sure he has any motorised stuff (but he'll be more than happy to point you in the right - probably Gümbet - direction).

I have had an email from Dave at the Tamarisk and he is doing water ski-ing.

Also Atti at Scala Beach in Ortakent does jet ski-ing and water-ski-ing. Hope this helps.
