Demirs

Demirs is a 12.55-metre sailing yacht launched in 2024 and based at Lykia Yacht Club. In a charter market where most available boats carry at least two full seasons of wear, a yacht this recent commands genuine attention. The standing rigging remains in original factory condition, every electronic and mechanical system performs as designed, and the cumulative fatigue that builds season by season simply has not had time to set in. Sailors who have previously chartered older boats tend to feel the difference immediately: in the way the rig trims and responds, in the quality of interior surfaces, and in the consistent reliability of every system below decks.

Three private cabins sleep six guests in genuine comfort. The layout works as naturally for a family of six as it does for a close circle of friends. The cockpit and the saloon together form the social heart of the boat, where meals happen, evening drinks are poured and unhurried conversation flows easily. Demirs sails under canvas whenever conditions allow, with the engine stepping in cleanly for calm passages and marina approaches.

Demirs charters exclusively as a whole boat for one private group. Every cabin, every metre of deck and all shared spaces belong to your party alone from the first morning to the final day, with no other guests joining at any point. Your group sets the route, the pace and the daily rhythm on its own terms. Sailing from Lykia Yacht Club, you can plan short day sails to sheltered coves and quiet anchorages close to the base, or extend your trip into a multi-day blue cruise along Turkey's southern coastline at whatever pace suits your group. A sailing blue cruise on this stretch of coast typically brings a fresh anchorage each morning, long afternoon swims in clear water and evenings entirely free from a fixed schedule.

Because Demirs entered service in 2024, every fitting, fabric and surface finish remains exactly as it left the yard, an advantage that grows more meaningful each season you compare it against the alternatives. For current availability and a quote tailored to your dates and group size, get in touch.
