Fethiye Yacht Charter
Fethiye is where the Blue Cruise's most famous postcards are shot: the lagoon of Ölüdeniz, the cliffs of Butterfly Valley and the Byzantine ruins of Gemiler Island all sit within this one gulf. With its wide natural harbour, Ece Marina and lively bazaar, Fethiye launches everything from budget day trips to week-long luxury charters.
The gulf itself fills several days — Şövalye Island, Turunç Pınarı and Katrancı line up within short hops. Göcek's Twelve Islands are half a day west, so Fethiye departures combine the best of both gulfs in a single itinerary. Paragliders drifting from Babadağ down to the lagoon are part of the daily view from deck.

Can you reach Ölüdeniz by boat from Fethiye?
Yes — the waters off Ölüdeniz and Butterfly Valley are classic stops about two hours' cruising from Fethiye. The inner lagoon itself is protected and closed to yachts; boats anchor off the valley and around Gemiler Island.
Are day trips available in Fethiye as well as weekly charters?
Yes. Day boats and Twelve Islands day tours are a big part of the Fethiye fleet, alongside weekly crewed gulet and sailing charters. Use the type filter on the listings to separate the two.
Which bays stand out on a Fethiye route?
Inside the gulf: Şövalye Island, Katrancı and Turunç Pınarı; beyond it, Gemiler Island, the Ölüdeniz roadstead and Butterfly Valley. Routes stretching west add Göcek's Yassıca and Tersane islands — a week combines both comfortably.
Which airport serves Fethiye?
Dalaman Airport is about 45-50 minutes by road, with dense seasonal service from Istanbul and Europe. Handover is usually at Ece Marina or on the Fethiye seafront.
