Fethiye is a gentle, generous place to start a catamaran charter. The town sits at the head of a wide, island-dotted gulf, sheltered and warm, with calm water that suits a catamaran perfectly. The flat deck means no one slides around as you sail, the saloon stays cool and open, and the bow trampolines become the favourite seat in the house as you head out toward the first anchorage.
The Twelve Islands fill Fethiye Gulf with sheltered channels and easy swimming stops, and a catamaran's shallow draft lets you anchor right in close. From there it is a short, gentle run down to Ölüdeniz and the famous blue lagoon, or further east toward the sunken city of Kekova and the harbour town of Kaş. Göcek and its cluster of bays sit just next door, so a Fethiye week can roam in both directions without long passages.
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is about 45 minutes away by road, with plenty of seasonal flights, so the journey from arrivals to deck is short. Your catamaran comes fully crewed, with a skipper who knows every bay in the gulf and a cook on board, leaving you free to swim, eat and watch the coast slide by.
