Boat holiday: how to plan one in Göcek and Fethiye
Unlike a hotel, a boat holiday means waking in a different bay each day, close to the sea. Göcek and Fethiye, with many bays over short distances, are the easiest places to start. Below we explain who it suits, how to plan it and what to watch for.
Right now there are 24 boats in this selection, from 900 EUR / day; for up to 6-20 guests.

Who is a boat holiday for?
Families, groups of friends, couples and large celebrations. Those wanting space and comfort choose a gulet/catamaran, sport lovers a sailing yacht, and those after speed and day escapes a motor yacht. For families with children, a catamaran's stability is comfortable.
How to plan it
First dates, group size and budget; then boat type and departure point (Göcek or Fethiye). The route is built around your group's balance of swimming, rest and exploring. On a crewed trip the crew handles cooking and navigation; experienced guests can go bareboat.
What to watch for
Season (May-June and September are the most balanced), included/excluded items (fuel, harbour, food are usually extra), cabin layout and the booking deadline. In high season, booking early improves both boat choice and price.
How to get to Göcek and Fethiye
The nearest airport is Dalaman; it is about 25-35 minutes to Göcek and 45-50 to Fethiye by road. Transfers can be arranged; we plan flight and boarding times together.
Popular routes and coves
The 12 Islands, Yassıca Islands, Bedri Rahmi Bay, Tersane Island, Boynuzbükü and Sarsala are favourite stops. Fethiye Bay and the Ölüdeniz area are reached in short hops. We suggest a route by group, duration and weather.
When is the best season?
The season runs May to October. June and September are calmer and better value; July-August are the hottest and busiest. Booking early secures a better boat and price.
