This flotilla sailing holiday allows time to explore the charming anchorages in the attractive pine-wooded Fethiye Gulf.
Any of the yachts based at Fethiye can join the Fethiye flotilla and explore this beautiful stretch of the Turkish coast in company. The flotilla skipper and hostess accompany the flotilla on the lead yacht and are on hand for help and advice as required. They have the latest weather forecasts and know the best anchorages for lunch stops.
With alternating one week itineraries you can choose between the Fethiye/Cold Water Bay route or the Karacaoren route, both taking in stunning bays with crystal clear waters as well as ancient sites. Those with more time may choose to combine the two routes and enjoy a two week holiday for a truly memorable experience.
The Fethiye Bay is sheltered with north-westerly winds Force 2-3 but on longer passages along the coast winds may be occasionally 5-6. These fade as the sun goes down to give a calm night on anchor in one of the numerous sheltered bays and anchorages.

The cost of your yacht charter depends on several factors:
Boat Type
The type and size of the yacht you book will dictate the price. A 1 week bareboat charter in Turkey on a 2 - 3 cabin monohull starts at around £900 in low season whereas a 1 week charter on a luxury catamaran with a skipper in high season could be upwards of £10,000. These are the two extremes of the scale for a 1 week yacht charter in Turkey and we offer plenty of choices in between.
Charter duration
1 week is a popular choice amongst our sailors and makes the perfect getaway, however, a longer charter will give you more time to explore even more of the Turkish coastline and islands. We have a range of 1 and 2 week flotillas as well as custom bareboat bookings which can be tailored to your timescale.
Time of Year
Due to the hotter temperatures and longer season in Turkey, lower-priced yacht charters are available in the off-season of April and November with prices starting to rise in May and peaking in June, September and early to mid October.
Crew
Don't have any sailing experience? No problem! We offer several skippered and crewed options so you can enjoy the yachting lifestyle without the stress. From a simple skippered yacht to fully crewed options, we can arrange a charter to suit your needs.
Flotilla vs Bareboat
Flotilla yacht charters are more expensive than a bareboat charter, but for the extra cost, you are getting the assistance of a lead boat with an experienced crew who are ready to help if you need assistance on your voyage. The flotilla lead crew also arrange social activities and lead you on a carefully curated itinerary. Flotillas are great if you enjoy the social aspects of sailing and are perfect for families, especially during school holidays. Children enjoy making new friends, while adults can unwind and connect with like-minded sailors.
If you are experienced and prefer to discover the islands at your own pace then a bareboat charter is the perfect choice for a relaxing holiday in the Med.
The mooring fees in Turkey are very minimal, you will find it is one of the cheaper Mediterranean destinations in terms of mooring costs. On average, a town quay mooring in Turkey (based on a 40ft monohull) would be €20/night. There are fewer "full-service marinas" compared with somewhere like Croatia, but these would usually be between €50-70/night. There is also the ability to free anchor in a lot of places too, which keeps the cost of your mooring fees down considerably.
Turkey has fantastic sailing conditions, with great offshore NW winds throughout the season. Conditions tend to be calmer in the mornings, picking up in the afternoons.
These are the best times to travel to Turkey, with lighter crowds, moderate temperatures and calm seas. It is the perfect time to explore everything Turkey has to offer.
The summers are hot and dry with temperatures averaging between 25º - 30ºC. The Meltemi winds peak between mid-May and mid-September, providing a more exciting sailing experience for experienced sailors.
The best sailing conditions are May, June, September and October
A 1 - 2 week yacht charter will give you the most relaxed sailing experience when exploring Turkey. From swimming in the turquoise waters to mooring at secluded family-run restaurants, we have a range of itineraries to make sure you see the best sailing spots in Turkey.
