Why we selected this yacht
We selected this yacht for groups looking for a modern catamaran in Fethiye that is suitable for bareboat use. Its 2022 build, the roomy layout provided by the Isla 40 design, and its 9-guest capacity offer practical comfort for short-area cruising.
Ideal for
Suitable for families, groups of friends, and 8-9 person crews with bareboat sailing experience who are planning a relaxed route. It is a good option for those who value both shared space and private areas.
Not ideal for
It is not suitable for guests without bareboat sailing experience. It may also not be the first choice for groups looking for full service, a crewed arrangement, or a lively party atmosphere.
The experience
When you depart from Fethiye, you can move comfortably between coves. The spacious saloon and cockpit are well suited for spending time together during the day, while the cabins offer a quieter setup in the evening. Along the route, swimming breaks, short coastal stops, and sailing in suitable weather conditions are the main focus.
