About us ......

Bill Cote and Jean Panepinto  have been cruising the Mediterranean since 2000 aboard  Soleil Sans Fin, a 47 ft Jeanneau Sun Kiss. We have organized Rendezvous for yachts in Spain, Greece and Croatia and organized the 4 month Levante Basin Rally in 2005. This rally started in Turkey and  went to Southern Cyprus, Northern Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan (by land) and Egypt. The television series "Distant Shores" recorded this rally and for information on viewing visit their website www.searoom.com/shard/dshores.html 

In 2008 from our base in Marmaris, Turkey we held another flotilla cruises of the Turkish Turquoise coast for members and friends of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club after having successfully completed two cruises for them in 2007. In total 130 members and friends joined us in Turkey. In addition in 2008 we held another 4 month Levante Basin Rally to the Middle East for 12 boats.

In April  2009 we left Turkey heading west to Greece for the summer and then on to Sicily for the winter.
