Motor yacht charter in Fethiye & Göcek
A French cruiser with a sliding roof, for when a gulet feels too slow and you want sunset in the middle of the gulf.
Motor yacht charter in Fethiye & Göcek suits anyone unwilling to spend half the day in transit. The Beneteau Gran Turismo 45 touches roughly 30 knots, so a single outing from Göcek can take in both the 12 Islands and the sheer walls of Butterfly Valley across the gulf.
This 14.5-metre cruiser carries ten. A hardtop with an opening hatch keeps the sun off, a broad aft sunpad invites lazing, and a compact cockpit galley keeps cold drinks and snacks close at hand. Two cabins below are there for changing or a nap.
With a single captain as crew, the feel is intimate: a couple, two families or a small group with no need for a big team. The neat hull slips into narrow inlets and parks right off the jetty restaurants, handy if you fancy lunch ashore.

When to go
Trips are possible throughout May–October, with summer water reaching 27–28 °C. The favourite slot on this boat is a three-hour evening run across the gulf to catch the sunset, returning as the marina lights come on. Book the whole day if you want both Göcek's islands and Ölüdeniz.
Motor yacht charter in Fethiye & Göcek: FAQ
Why a motor yacht rather than a gulet?
A gulet moves gently and is built for long, lazy stops. The Gran Turismo 45 makes sense when you want several corners of the gulf in a few hours or a sunset far from the marina.
Will a party of ten fit?
Yes, ten is her maximum. For everyone to spread out on the sunpads and in the shade, six to eight is more comfortable.
What is the shortest booking?
Usually three hours, which covers an evening cruise or a couple of stops among the nearer Göcek islands.
