Fethiye sits on one of the prettiest gulfs on the Turkish coast, and a motor yacht is the ideal way to explore it. The town's wide, sheltered bay opens straight onto the Twelve Islands, a cluster of pine-covered isles and clear coves just minutes from the harbour. Under power you can visit several in a day, lingering for a swim at each. Every yacht is crewed and air-conditioned, with spacious decks, a flybridge and water toys for lazy afternoons at anchor.
Speed is what makes Fethiye special as a base. A motor yacht reaches Butterfly Valley, with its waterfall and steep cliffs, in a short hop, then carries on toward the rock tombs and sunken ruins of Kekova or the lively waterfront at Kaş. Göcek, with its own ring of quiet anchorages, lies just next door. What would be a full day's sail on a gulet becomes a relaxed morning's run, leaving more time in the water and less on passage.
Dalaman Airport (DLM) is about 45 minutes from the marina, so guests can land and be aboard the same afternoon. Tell us your dates and the size of your group, and we will match you with the right yacht and a route built around it.
