OUR HISTORY 

Marmaris International Yacht Club was founded in 1992 by yachtsmen from Marmaris. Before the establishment of the club, these yachtsmen organized various amateur races among themselves, and following the establishment of the club, they took the opportunity to turn this into an official meeting and organized the first Marmaris Race Week.

Today, MIYC has approximately 200 members and welcomes approximately 200 yachts and 2000 racers from all over the world at Marmaris Race Week every year.

MIYC has also been the main organizer of the Marmaris International Yacht Festival for many years. This international organization gives local crewed yachts and agencies the opportunity to promote themselves and Turkey as a charter destination.

In the first years of the festival, MIYC also started the Yacht and Yacht Equipment Fair with several stands. The club, which has been expanding this activity since 2001, runs the Yacht and Yacht Equipment Fair as a separate organization. The fair is organized every year during the festival and provides extra potential to the existing maritime industry in the region.
