Melissa

Melissa is a sailing yacht launched in 2019 and based at Ece Marina in Fethiye. She measures 14.06 metres, carries four cabins and sleeps eight guests in total, and every charter runs as a whole-boat booking: the salon, cockpit and deck belong to one private group from the moment of departure.

The 2019 build date carries real weight. The cabin arrangement is well-considered, the salon handles meals and quiet evenings equally well, and the finishes show none of the accumulated wear common on older charter vessels. Two couples splitting the cost of a Fethiye yacht charter, a family whose older children each need a private berth, or a group of friends planning a week under sail along the Turkish Mediterranean coast will all find the four-cabin layout fits neatly around their group's needs.

Sailing on Melissa delivers an experience a motor vessel simply cannot replicate. When the sails fill and the engine goes quiet, the whole character of the passage changes: speed becomes something felt rather than displayed on an instrument, and silence becomes part of the journey. Anchoring at dusk in a sheltered cove, sleeping to the sound of water against the hull, or holding a steady course under full canvas across open water are what a proper blue cruise on a sailing yacht looks and feels like. From Ece Marina you can plan day sails through the coves of Fethiye Gulf, head toward the wooded islands around Göcek, or arrange a longer itinerary into the protected waters of Hisarönü Gulf. The route, the pace and the duration are entirely yours to shape.

For anyone weighing a gulet charter against a sailing yacht charter in Fethiye, Melissa makes a straightforward case: a recent build, four private cabins, full group exclusivity and a hull that actually sails. Contact us for current availability and a tailored quote for your preferred dates.
