The 'Cup'ışalım mı? by Jeanneau Sea Festival, sponsored by Top Leisure, once again gathered sea enthusiasts in Marmaris in its 20th year. The event brought together Jeanneau boat owners, sea lovers, and industry representatives, merging the excitement at sea with film screenings, concerts, workshops, parties, and social gatherings on land.
Boats departing from Albatros Marina competed on a 6 nautical mile route extending to Kumlubük. A total of 39 boats participated in the collective sail, which was divided into four groups based on the size of the fleet: Orange, Turquoise, Yellow, and Blue. The organization provided participants the opportunity to set sail together, share their experiences, and establish new connections, complementing the competition at sea with social gatherings on the shore.
It has become a maritime tradition over twenty years.
The 'Cup'ışalım mı? event, which aims to bring Jeanneau boat owners together around a shared passion for the sea, has become one of the regular meeting points of a growing community over its 20-year journey. The organization brought together experienced sailors who have been part of the event for many years with boat owners participating for the first time, creating a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences in the field of sailing.
This year's gathering celebrated not only the excitement but also the 20-year history of the event. Participants from previous years relived their shared memories while new sea enthusiasts joined the 'Cup'ışalım mı? community.
"This gathering establishes a long-lasting bond over the sea."
