be careful david
they charge a tax on the engines here
really expensive
however did you want a sailing boat?/with an engine
my friends have a nice boat they are selling its a nauticat i think about 42 ft
its in the marina in fethiye.
good luck

To drive your boat though, you would need a seamans license, I think, although, in fairness, I don't know if this only applies to Turkish Nationals, I know my husband has to get a new one, to drive his speedboat.

its a bit like the fishing
you cant get a license to fish here,
 your not allowed....
no fish here anyway as the area is over fished all the time.

You would need a Captains licence for that size boat.
do plenty of research before you commit to buying one

There are plenty of fish you just need a friend with the
