Twelve flat islets with turquoise channels in between. Calm enough that paddleboards are deployed within minutes of dropping anchor.

Yacht Charters from Fethiye
The home of the classic Twelve Islands route. Sheltered, family-friendly, and dense with the kind of pine-fringed bays that put Turkey on every blue-cruise list.
Fethiye sits in a deep, protected gulf — a calm starting line. Within a day's sail you're in the Twelve Islands cluster (Yassıca, Tersane, Domuz), Göcek's sheltered bays, or south toward Butterfly Valley and Ölüdeniz. The cruising radius is small but the bay density is the highest in Turkey, which is why families and first-time charterers gravitate here.
Fethiye-based fleets skew toward classic gulets and mid-size motor yachts. If you want a route with short morning hops and afternoon swimming, this is the cleanest choice in Turkey.

Información práctica
Lo que debes saber
- Marina + port fees
- Yes Marina is the main berthing harbour. Smaller marinas (Ece Marina) handle the rest. Fees included in the charter price for changeover-day berthing.
- Fuel
- Budget €1,000–€2,500 per week — Fethiye routes motor less than Bodrum routes because the bay-density rewards short hops, not long passages.
- Greek-island crossings
- Less common from Fethiye than from Bodrum/Marmaris — the nearest Greek islands (Rhodes, Symi) are a 6-hour passage. Most Fethiye charters stay on the Turkish side and use the bay density to fill the week.
- Lycian Way overlap
- The 540-km Lycian Way hiking trail runs along the same coast. Some captains can drop hikers at trailheads (Ölüdeniz, Faralya, Kabak) and pick them up the next day.
- Provisioning
- Tuesday + Friday markets in Fethiye old town are the best place for fresh produce; captains often do their final grocery run there. Most charters include base provisioning in the rate.
Fondeaderos al alcance
Adonde van realmente los itinerarios de una semana desde este puerto. Tiempos de navegación aproximados, condiciones moderadas.
Tersane Adası1 hr 15 min
Abandoned Byzantine shipyard on a forested island — anchor in the deep cove inside the ruins, snorkel over the old slipways.
Domuz Adası1 hr 30 min
The classic Twelve Islands lunch stop. Sheltered, deep enough for any vessel, surrounded by pine.
Butterfly Valley2 hrs 30 min
Cliff-walled valley accessible only by sea. Hike the inland path to a waterfall; the butterflies that name the valley appear July–August.
Ölüdeniz lagoon3 hrs
Famous turquoise lagoon below Babadağ mountain. Anchor offshore, beach yourself in the lagoon, watch the paragliders descending from 1,960m above.
Gemiler (St Nicholas) Island3 hrs 30 min
Ruins of a Byzantine pilgrimage site believed to be the original tomb of St Nicholas. Hike across the island, watch sunset from the ruined chapel.
Kalkan6 hrs
Whitewashed harbour town further down the Lycian coast. Visit on a longer 10-day route; the marina is small so anchor offshore + tender ashore for dinner.
En tierra
Qué hacer el día antes del embarque y después del desembarque, más una breve lista de restaurantes que valen la pena.
Día antes del chárter
Fethiye old town is quieter than Bodrum — a working harbour with a Tuesday market that's the best fresh-produce stop on the Lycian coast. The Tomb of Amyntas (4th-century BC Lycian rock tomb) is a 15-minute walk from the marina; the Saklıkent gorge is a half-day drive inland if you're arriving Friday with time to kill.
Día después del desembarque
Most direct UK flights leave DLM mid-evening, giving you a full Saturday after disembarking. Walk the Fethiye marina-side promenade, lunch at one of the harbourfront fish restaurants, then transfer. If your flight is Sunday, an overnight in Hisarönü or Ovacık (15 min by taxi) gets you walking access to the Lycian Way trail and Babadağ paragliding launch site.
Dónde comer en tierra
- Mod Yacht LoungeModern Turkish + grill
Marina-front, mid-range — the captain's choice for the welcome dinner. Open late, accepts walk-ins.
- Pasa KebabAnatolian grill
Old-town backstreet, no English menu, the best lamb shank in the area. Tip: ask for the testi kebabı (clay-pot lamb).
- Yengeç RestaurantSeafood
Family-run on the marina road, fish bought fresh from the harbour, no-frills decor, locals' pick.
- Reis Restaurant (Çalış)Beachfront fish
Worth the 15-min taxi to Çalış for sundown grilled sea bass on the beach. Pre-charter ritual for many regulars.

Preguntas frecuentes
Para charters in fethiye.
How long is the Twelve Islands route?
A week is standard — depart Saturday from Fethiye, loop Yassıca / Tersane / Domuz / Göcek bays, return Saturday. Captains adapt the order based on wind. Two-week trips usually add the Lycian coast eastward to Kekova.
Is Fethiye good for families with young kids?
Yes — it's one of the more child-suitable Turkish ports. Short distances, sheltered bays, captains used to family rhythms (early dinners, swim ladders, beach time). Look for vessels with shallow swimming platforms.
Can we charter from Fethiye and end in Bodrum (or vice versa)?
One-way charters exist but cost more — captains charge a relocation fee for the empty return leg. Round-trip from Fethiye is much more common and 30–40% cheaper for the same week.
Best months?
May through October. June and September are the sweet spot — water already / still warm, less crowded than July/August. October can be windy but very quiet bays.
