Yacht charter in Fethiye, on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast

Our base at ECE Marina in Fethiye is ideally placed for exploring the many idyllic bays and coves of the Gulf of Fethiye, and beyond to Dalyan in the west or Oludeniz in the east. Visit ancient tombs, snorkel in clear turquoise water and try a traditional Turkish hammam or mud bath, all while enjoying the fantastic sailing conditions the area is known for.

The modern city of Fethiye sits in the protected Gulf of Fethiye, a magnificent playground for anyone looking for a relaxing yacht charter in Turkey, with short passages and protected anchorages. With its natural and historic sights, sun, sea and fantastic food, it is also well worth a stay before or after your charter.

Expect offshore north-westerly winds of 15 to 20 knots. The area is exposed to the Meltemi, which picks up in the afternoon to around Force 4, alongside local and katabatic winds, and there are plenty of sheltered anchorages and coves for the evening. We rate the area experience level 1.

    Widely regarded as one of the best beaches in Turkey, set between two high cliffs that show off the turquoise water perfectly.
