Holiday & Leisure
A Fethiye yacht charter with friends is ten of you on one gulet out of Fethiye Ece Marina at 10:00, the 12 Islands route ahead, a first jump off the stern at Yassıca Islands and a long lunch at anchor by Cleopatra's Bath with nobody checking the time.
A group yacht charter in Fethiye gives friends what a villa cannot: a new swim stop every hour and a cook who feeds everyone. The 12 Islands route stays inside the enclosed gulf, so the day is flat and even the friend who gets seasick is fine. A gulet's deck seats the whole group at one table, and the widest gulet fleet on the coast means the right size boat exists whether you are six or twelve. For a longer trip, the cabins turn the same boat into a floating house for a weekend.

Duration
Fethiye is calm and nature-led rather than a party destination, which suits a friends trip built around swimming, eating and a long day on deck. Evenings ashore are covered by the Paspatur old bazaar in town, with bars and live music, and by Hisarönü above Ölüdeniz for anyone who wants clubs. Dalaman Airport is about 50 minutes away, so friends flying in from different cities meet at the marina. The season runs April to November, with the warmest water from June to September.
Booking FAQ
A day cruise takes up to 12 guests on one gulet. Overnight trips depend on cabins, typically 8–12 friends on a 4–6 cabin gulet. Larger groups can charter two gulets that cruise the 12 Islands together.
You charter the whole boat and divide it among the group however you like. We send one confirmation to the organiser, and the cook's lunch and soft drinks are part of the charter so there is little to settle on the day.
Yes. The gulet has a sound system for your playlist, and drinks can be brought aboard at Fethiye Ece Marina or arranged through us. Reasonable volume at anchor keeps the peace with neighbouring boats.
