Berth, season and winter storage
A berth afloat all year round is possible here, which is exactly what makes the season a question. Policies written for a season commonly pause over the winter months, in harbour and ashore alike. Anyone who leaves the boat in the water through the winter should check which months their own cover actually runs. At the pontoon what counts is what the conditions call a duty of care: lines of adequate strength, chafe protection, a working bilge pump and a boat that is not left unchecked for months. Shore power is available, and with it the most common cause of fire at a pontoon: a charger and a battery left working unattended over the winter. Fire is covered in any tariff; a fire traced to a demonstrably improper installation is not. With that number of berths this is a large harbour, and it shifts the risk: most damage here does not happen at sea but while berthing in a tight basin, or comes from the neighbouring boat that breaks loose. The nearest berth, Kıyı İstanbul Marina, is 6.1 kilometres away.
How exposed the berth lies
Each spoke shows how far the water is open in that direction, up to sixty kilometres. The highlighted spoke is the direction the sea runs in furthest from. Calculated from the coastline, not measured.
The nearest berths: Kıyı İstanbul Marina, 6.1 kilometres to the east, West İstanbul Marina, 13.3 kilometres to the east and Yeşilköy Marina, 26.9 kilometres to the east. 2 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
Türkiye does not require liability cover for privately used boats. It does apply to commercially used craft, that is charter, excursions and carrying passengers. Marinas and berth operators ask for proof through their own terms. Severe gales are rarer here than on the open coast, but the squalls of summer thunderstorms are violent and short. They hit the boat at the pontoon, not at sea: lines chafe through, covers tear, a neighbouring boat comes across. By the coastline the berth has no cover to west-south-west: in that direction there is no land within sixty kilometres. It is also open to the south-west and south-south-west. In a gale from west-south-west the sea runs in over the full distance, and the berth is then the most dangerous place for the boat.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Güzelce Marina, Büyükçekmece?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Turkey. The cruising range is the boundary within which a policy applies. Check the wording before you go beyond it: many policies name a narrower area than owners assume, and an extension has to be agreed before the passage, not after the claim.
Can I leave the boat afloat here over winter?
It is possible, but a policy written for a season commonly pauses over the winter months, whether the boat is sailing, lying in harbour or standing ashore. Anyone leaving the boat afloat needs cover that runs the whole year.
Does the harbour ask for proof of insurance?
Not for privately used boats; yes for commercially used ones. The paper that belongs on board is the International Certificate of Insurance for pleasure craft: it states the cover in a form that is understood across the bordering states.
