Kale I

Kale I is a 2023-built catamaran measuring 11.39 metres, based at Lykia Yacht Club on Turkey's Lycian Mediterranean coast. With six cabins and a capacity of ten guests, she is chartered exclusively as a whole yacht: every cabin, the saloon and every square metre of deck belongs entirely to one private group for the duration of the booking. This arrangement works particularly well for multi-generational families, milestone celebrations and close-knit friend groups who want a genuinely self-contained experience on the water.

The twin-hull structure delivers a markedly steadier motion than a monohull of comparable length, which matters considerably on longer coastal passages and for guests who tend to be sensitive to the rolling of a conventional yacht. The wide beam creates distinct, simultaneously usable outdoor areas: sunbathing platforms, an al fresco dining space and quieter corners for those who want a moment away from the group. All ten guests can be on deck at once without the space feeling crowded. As a 2023 build, the interior finishes and fittings reflect current construction standards with nothing inherited from a previous fit-out.

Lykia Yacht Club sits at the centre of one of the Turkish Mediterranean's most historically rich cruising grounds. Kale I's shallow draft opens up anchorages that deeper-keeled vessels cannot access: compact limestone coves where cliffs meet clear water, small harbours framed by Lycian ruins, and bays that stay quiet even in peak summer. From this base, you can plan leisurely day excursions among the nearby inlets, or set the course for a multi-day blue cruise toward Fethiye at whatever pace suits your group, dropping anchor wherever the afternoon naturally leads.

For anyone weighing a catamaran charter on the Turkish Mediterranean, Kale I brings together a 2023 build standard, shallow-draft versatility, generous deck space and ten-person private capacity in one coherent package. Contact us for availability and a tailored quote for your group's dates.
