Full Description & Details
Plus Watersports is a small marina in Gumbet, on the southern shore of the Bodrum peninsula in Turkey. It sits at 37.0289 N, 27.3959 E, roughly 2 nautical miles southwest of Bodrum town centre and close to the busy resort area of Gumbet. The marina is a modest facility compared with the large Milta Bodrum Marina and D-Marin Turgutreis nearby, and it functions mainly as a base for local watersports activity rather than a full-service yacht harbour.
Protection at Plus Watersports is limited. The berths sit in an open stretch of the Gumbet bay, which is exposed to southerly winds and the prevailing summer meltemi from the north. Depths are shallow close in, typical of the sandy shelf along this part of the coast, and visiting yachts should expect to anchor or moor with care. Overnight stays are permitted, and the holding in the sandy bottom is reasonable in settled weather, but there is no sheltered basin or breakwater to rely on in a blow.
Facilities at Plus Watersports are minimal. The operation is oriented toward jet skis, parasailing and other beach-based watersports, so there is no fuel dock, no chandlery, no travel lift and no dedicated repair yard on site. Fresh water and basic shore power may be available for moored boats, but the sources do not confirm them. For provisions, chandlery items, laundry and restaurants, the nearest practical stop is Bodrum town, a short taxi or dolmus ride away, or the larger marinas in the bay.
Approach at night is not recommended because the bay has no prominent leading marks and local traffic from excursion boats is heavy in summer. The best season is the shoulder months of May, June and September, when the meltemi is less aggressive. There are no customs or passport formalities here; Plus Watersports is not a port of entry, so yachts arriving from abroad must clear in at Bodrum or another official Turkish port before berthing.
How to get there
Approach Plus Watersports from the north or east, keeping clear of the shallow shelf that extends off the Gumbet shoreline. The marina lies in the bay south of Bodrum, and the nearest deep-water approach is via the main Bodrum harbour entrance, then southwest along the coast. There are no published channel markers or leading lines for the marina itself, so use the charted depths and approach in daylight.
Contact the marina on VHF only if a working channel is published; the sources do not list one, so call ahead by phone if you need a berth. Land access is straightforward. The marina is in Gumbet, a resort town with a road connection to Bodrum about 3 kilometres away.
Bodrum has a regional airport with domestic and some international flights, and the town centre has bus and dolmus services. There are no formalities at Plus Watersports; clear in or out at Bodrum, which is the nearest official port of entry.
