ALI OZTURK

Professional racer

Hello and nice to meet you here!

I`m Ali and welcome to my website. For many years my career has been focused on yachting; being a professional sailmaker and racer. 20 years ago, I created one of the biggest sailmaking companies in Turkey and have devoted my life to sailing. Today I do yachting and give lessons, teaching a variety of students of different levels and skills. I participate in races in Turkey and throughout Europe, and you can join me in my passion. I speak Turkish and English, but if you require an interpreter I can arrange this.

My customers and students experience

We took part in Marmaris race week 2019 together with my son. Ali was our captain and we won all the cups with him in that race! He is a great skipper and nice person too.

Great sailor, best racer, excellent teacher...
Brave, athletic and knowledgeable...
Those words are not for advertisement, those are real. After 3 years, we`d sailed hundreds miles, had got many cups and a lot of funny days.
But the most important feeling when you are with Ali is security and safety.
Because you know if any problem causes, Ali will fix it. When you are in a great race while targeting the championship cup or in a storm with 40 knots, or want to drink too much and let to go to the boat without ambulance, feeling yourself in safe is unbelievable.
When we met I was just a beginner about sailing. But today I have 41 feet sailboat, I can control my boat, my team and my passengers as a captain. In my journey Ali had a lot of labor for me. If you want to learn sailing, race ambitiously in safe or anything about it, Ali is the right person for you. I am very proud of being his student and friend.
