I was worried about finding
marinas in the Med when we sailed there on our
Privilege 39
catamaran. I talked to my Kiwi friends and Ozzie friends who had done a
circumnavigation that included the Med, and they told me that they anchored out everywhere in the Med. I found that hard to believe, but since they had been there and done that, I at least knew that it was possible.
We spent about six months in the Med, and we stayed in
marinas only in
Israel,
Cyprus, and
Turkey. From the time we left
Turkey, we didn't stay in a marina until we arrived in Trinidad.
Although
regulations in each country vary, you can make a Med
cruise without having to stay in marinas. We checked the
price in one marina in Mallorca, and they wanted $120 for a
single night. We decide to stay anchored out.
Most of the Ozzies and Kiwis that we sailed with did the same. They created itineraries in which
anchoring out was possible. It can be done.
