Yacht Charter Fethiye
Yacht charter Fethiye unfolds along one of the Turquoise Coast’s most dramatic stretches, where Lycian rock tombs gaze down from honeyed cliffs, the ghost village of Kayaköy clings to a forested hillside, and the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz gleams in a shade of turquoise that no camera quite captures. The harbour and nearby marinas provide access to Turkey’s 128+ charter fleet: 68′–98′ motor yachts, 100′+ superyachts, 55′+ catamarans, and iconic 90′–115′+ gulets whose shaded aft decks are made for long Turkish lunches overlooking Butterfly Valley’s waterfall. Peak season stretches from June to September with 30–35°C sunshine and the warm, calm waters that give the Turquoise Coast its name; May and October deliver 25°C days, far fewer boats at anchor, and noticeably softer rates that make shoulder-season cruising outstanding value. Daily rates start from $3,500/day for a well-appointed motor yacht, rising to $15,000+/day for a superyacht, plus 20% Turkish VAT and 30–35% APA covering fuel, provisions, and port fees. Fethiye’s unique edge is layered history at every anchorage – you can snorkel above a sunken Lycian city at Kekova in the morning and hike the ancient Lycian Way above the cloud line by afternoon, all within a single charter week, each experience more vivid and layered than the last.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a Fethiye charter?
For the peak July–August window, six to nine months’ lead time ensures the widest selection – popular gulets and superyachts often book a full year ahead. The shoulder months of May, June, and September–October offer excellent sailing weather with more availability, and can typically be secured three to four months in advance.
What is the APA for a Fethiye charter?
The Advance Provisioning Allowance is typically set at 30–35% of the base charter fee and covers fuel, food, beverages, marina fees, water-toy hire, and any on-shore excursion costs arranged through the crew. Your captain maintains a transparent log of all expenditure, and any unspent balance is refunded in full at the end of the voyage.
Can I combine Fethiye with Göcek or the Kaş–Kekova coast?
Yes – and both combinations are superb. Göcek’s Twelve Islands lie just 15 nautical miles north, while the Kaş–Kekova coast with its sunken Lycian city is roughly 55 nautical miles east, each reachable as part of a seven- to ten-day itinerary. Your Boatcrowd broker can design a routing that balances sailing time with ample swimming stops, cultural shore excursions, and the finest harbour-side dining along the Turquoise Coast.
Do I need a visa to charter in Turkey?
Citizens of many countries – including the UK, US, Canada, and Australia – can obtain a Turkish e-visa online before travel, valid for 90 days within a 180-day period. EU citizens from most member states do not require a visa for stays under 90 days. Your Boatcrowd broker can advise on the current entry requirements specific to your nationality and ensure all documentation is in order well before your departure date.
