Boat rental in Fethiye is one of the most exciting ways to explore the southwestern coast of Turkey in complete freedom. Surrounded by green mountains and overlooking calm, turquoise waters, Fethiye is the ideal starting point for a sailing holiday thanks to its well-equipped marinas such as Ece Marina, the elegant port of the Yacht Classic Hotel and the modern Club Mai Marina.
From here, you can set sail aboard sailboats or catamarans and enjoy a cruise immersed in nature: hidden bays, ancient ruins, crystal-clear waters and a rich cultural heritage await you along the route.
Boat rental in Fethiye combines calm seas, stunning landscapes, and easily accessible ports. Located along the famous “Turquoise Coast,” Fethiye is surrounded by islands, peninsulas, and secluded coves that can be reached within just a few hours of sailing. Weather conditions are ideal from April to October, with mild winds and pleasant temperatures that make it perfect for a relaxed yet active vacation.
Another highlight is the cultural and historical richness of the region: sailing here also means docking in authentic villages, visiting archaeological sites directly accessible from the sea, and enjoying Mediterranean cuisine with Eastern influences. Thanks to the variety of feasible 7-day routes, you can easily combine hours of sailing with time to relax in quiet anchorages—all within reach of your departure base.
Setting off from Ece Marina, you’ll find numerous captivating routes ahead. Must-see early stops include the breathtaking Butterfly Valley, accessible only by sea, and the iconic Blue Lagoon in Ölüdeniz, one of the most photographed beaches in Turkey. Here you can anchor and go ashore for a swim or enjoy water sports in crystalline waters.
Continuing south, you’ll come across untouched spots like Gemiler Bay, home to Byzantine ruins on a deserted island, and Kabak Koyu, a pine-fringed cove perfect for a quiet overnight stop. Snorkelling enthusiasts will love the vibrant marine life at Aga Limani and the legendary Cleopatra’s Bath, said to have been a favourite retreat of the Egyptian queen.
The nearby islands, such as Domuz Adasi and Yassica Adalari, offer secluded anchorages, peaceful scenery and are perfect for paddleboarding. Don’t miss a stop in Gocek, a charming little port nestled in a natural fjord—ideal for dinner onshore and some local shopping.

The best time for a sailing holiday in Fethiye is between May and October. Gentle afternoon breezes make navigation pleasant and manageable. Temperatures are warm but rarely too hot, and nights at anchor are fresh and quiet. We recommend setting sail early in the day to secure peaceful anchorages, especially in July and August.
Always bring snorkelling gear, plenty of fresh water and sunscreen, as many bays are remote and have no services. If possible, book moorings in advance at popular ports like Gocek. Sailing in Fethiye offers a perfect blend of navigation, exploration, and natural beauty in one of the most enchanting corners of the Eastern Mediterranean.
