Luxury Gulet Yacht Charters in Fethiye, Turkey

Fethiye sits on Turkey's Turquoise Coast and is one of the main departure ports for a Blue Cruise. It is a busy base for gulets, sailing yachts and motor yachts, and a popular holiday destination in its own right. Dalaman Airport is about an hour away by road, and Antalya Airport is a longer transfer. The town has a lively fish market, plenty of restaurants, good shopping and some interesting historic sites, including rock tombs carved into the cliffs above the harbour. Resorts such as Oludeniz, Hisaronu, Ovacik and Calis are close by.

Fethiye gives you a choice of routes. Many guests sail the sheltered bays and islands around Fethiye and Gocek, with quiet anchorages, clear water and swim stops at places like Gemiler Island. Others head further east on the Fethiye to Kekova route, passing Kalkan and Kas on the way. Our gulet itinerary guide compares the most popular options by length and pace.

Several of the area's best-known sights can be reached by boat or from the coast. Butterfly Valley is a short stop by sea, and your captain can arrange land excursions to the abandoned Greek village of Kayakoy, Saklikent Gorge and the ancient site of Tlos. These are inland, so allow time for a transfer.

The charter season runs roughly from May to October, with the warmest seas in July, August and September. Browse the gulets below, filter by size, cabins and price, and send an enquiry to check availability for your dates.
