Why charter from Fethiye?
Fethiye offers both scenery and variety of stays with its wide bay and the Ölüdeniz area. The 12 Islands and Göcek coves are a short crossing away. Easy access from town and transport links make it a practical starting point.
A yacht holiday in Fethiye
Fethiye, with its wide gulf and lively town, is a busier departure point - the choice of guests who want to pair sea days with evenings in restaurants and the old-town bazaar. Standout stops such as Ölüdeniz, Butterfly Valley and Gemiler Island are favourites of routes from Fethiye. As the gulf is more open, crossings are slightly longer than Göcek - which means different scenery.
What boats can you charter from Fethiye?
Fethiye offers every type: gulet, sailing yacht, motor yacht and catamaran. Larger families pick a gulet or catamaran, active sailors a sailing yacht, and those after speed and day escapes a motor yacht. We'll choose the right type for your group and budget together.
How are Fethiye charter prices set?
This page lists live prices; the current entry level is 750 EUR. Five factors drive the price: boat type and length, build/refit year, season (July-August peak), duration and crew size. Rough ranges: bareboat sailing yacht 2,000-3,500 EUR per week; motor yacht 1,000-1,700 EUR per day; crewed gulet 5,000-50,000 EUR per week. June and September typically run 20-30% below peak; the month selector shows each boat's seasonal price.
Day charter or weekly cruise?
Private day charter: morning departure, swimming stops around the gulf or the Ölüdeniz-Butterfly Valley line, sunset return - the boat is exclusively yours. Weekly blue cruise: Saturday to Saturday, combining Fethiye Bay with Göcek's 12 Islands. Shorter 3-4 night programmes run early and late in the season.
Crewed or bareboat?
Most guests choose crewed: routing, anchoring, weather watch and port formalities are handled by professionals; gulets and larger motor yachts always come with crew. Bareboat is available on sailing yachts and catamarans for holders of a valid ICC, RYA Day Skipper or equivalent with adequate experience. Fethiye's wide gulf is a joy under sail; a skipper can be added for the first days.

Ece Saray Marina: full-service, walking distance from the town centre. Fethiye City Marina and Karagözler: home to the local fleet and day-charter departures. Town quay: the classic starting point for private day trips. Your exact departure point is confirmed at booking. For weekly charters, check-in is usually Saturday after 3 pm.

The classic day loop covers Şövalye Island, Aquarium Bay, Samanlık, Turunç Pınarı and a Kızılada sunset. The Ölüdeniz-Butterfly Valley-Gemiler Island line and the 12 Islands are short crossings away. Weekly routes take in Göcek's coves too.
+ - Can you reach Ölüdeniz by boat?
The Ölüdeniz lagoon itself is protected and closed to boats; yachts anchor off Belcekız beach so you can swim and enjoy the view. Butterfly Valley and Gemiler Island are on the same route - the most photogenic line out of Fethiye.
+ - Should I depart from Göcek or Fethiye?
Both are close to the 12 Islands. Göcek means shorter hops to the coves and a calmer scene; Fethiye means proximity to the Ölüdeniz-Butterfly Valley line, a livelier town and more accommodation. We'll recommend the best fit for your boat and travel plans.
+ - Can I charter for just one day in Fethiye?
Yes - private day charters depart from the town quay or marina in the morning; the boat is exclusively yours. Choose the classic gulf loop or the Ölüdeniz-Butterfly Valley line. We don't sell shared tours.
+ - How many guests can join?
Capacity is limited by each boat's commercial licence. Boats in our selection sleep 4-20 guests; day-trip capacity is usually higher.
+ - Do I need a licence for bareboat charter?
Yes - a valid ICC, RYA Day Skipper or an equivalent national certificate plus reasonable experience; owners usually ask for a short sailing CV. Prefer not to skipper? Choose a crewed boat or add a skipper for the first days.
+ - When should I book?
For July-August weeks, 4-8 weeks ahead; for day charters, 1-2 weeks. The November-March early-booking window offers the widest choice and best rates.
+ - What's included and excluded?
On crewed boats the yacht, crew and standard equipment are included; fuel, port/transit log, provisioning and transfers are mostly extra. On day charters, skipper and fuel are usually included. Every quote lists each item - no surprises.
+ - How do deposits and insurance work?
All commercial yachts carry mandatory insurance. Bareboat charters require a refundable security deposit; crewed and day charters usually don't. Terms are stated clearly in your contract.
+ - Is it safe with children?
Yes. Life jackets for every age are on board; for families we recommend stable catamarans and the sheltered inner-gulf routes.
+ - Can I bring my pet?
It depends on the boat. Tell us in advance and we'll shortlist pet-friendly options.
+ - How do I get to Fethiye?
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is 45-50 minutes away. We can arrange your airport-to-marina transfer; landing in the morning and sailing the same day is doable.
