My story

In 2011, Murat shifted his focus from mountains to sailing and established the Open Sea Academy in Fethiye, driven by his interest in education and organization. He has sailed extensively in the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Adriatic seas. He devoted himself to becoming a sailing instructor and is certified by both International Yacht Training Worldwide and the Turkish Sailing Federation.

Murat, also known as "Murat Hoca," has introduced many people to sailing and assisted them in pursuing their aspirations. He has lots of full logbooks, a wide range of skills and qualifications.
