Fethiye Yacht Charter Fishing Trip

A Fethiye yacht charter fishing trip leaves Fethiye Ece Marina at 06:30, before the day boats, and has lines in the water off Red Island's lighthouse within the hour. By late morning the boat moves to a quieter spot near Tersane Island, and whatever you catch is cooked by the crew for lunch at anchor.

Why fish from a yacht in Fethiye

A fishing charter in Fethiye is a private boat with a crew who know the local water, not a crowded excursion. The Gulf of Fethiye is enclosed by islands, so the early morning is flat and the boat holds position easily while lines are out. The islands at the mouth of the gulf, Red Island among them, give the captain a choice of spots, and the on-board cook turns the morning's catch into lunch. Non-fishing guests swim and read on deck while the rods are busy.

What makes Fethiye special for a fishing day

  • Red Island (Kızılada) with its lighthouse sits at the edge of the gulf, a short run from Fethiye Ece Marina.
  • The calm water inside the enclosed gulf keeps the boat steady while lines are out in the early morning.
  • Tersane Island and Yassıca Islands offer quiet anchorages for the lunch stop, with a swim for the rest of the group.

Fishing conditions in Fethiye

Fishing from a private yacht in Fethiye is a calm-water affair inside the enclosed gulf, with the outer islands as the usual grounds. The season runs April to November; the captain chooses the spot on the day according to wind and light, and the enclosed gulf means an early start is rarely called off. Fethiye is a quiet coast, so a fishing morning here is unhurried, and the Çalış beach promenade back in town is a sunset walk after an early day. Göcek is an alternative base for guests staying there.

What happens with the catch?

The cook cleans and grills the catch for lunch at anchor, usually near Tersane Island or Yassıca Islands. If the fish are not biting, lunch is prepared from the galley as on any day cruise.
