Sail Venus

Launched in 2024, Sail Venus is a 14.27-metre sailing yacht based at Ece Marina. With only one charter season behind her, the rigging, navigation electronics and cabin interiors are still in near-original condition, a rare thing to find on a working charter boat. The practical upside is real: no improvised repairs on the standing rigging, electronics performing exactly as designed, and upholstery that hasn't yet dulled with wear.

Four cabins sleep up to eight guests across nine berths. For a yacht just over 14 metres, that is a generous space-per-person ratio. A family of six settles in without compromise, and a group of eight will find the layout relaxed rather than cramped. Sail Venus is offered exclusively as a whole-boat private charter, so every cabin, the deck and the shared saloon belong to your group alone for the duration of the trip.

Ece Marina sits at the mouth of the Gulf of Fethiye, putting Göcek's pine-covered islets, sheltered coves along the coastline and the wider Turquoise Coast within easy reach. From here you can plan a relaxed day sail around the nearby bays, or set out on a multi-day blue cruise and let the itinerary follow your group's own pace. It is a solid base for anyone considering a Fethiye yacht charter, especially those who want a sailing yacht with a more performance-oriented hull rather than a traditional gulet.

Life aboard a sailing yacht runs on wind and trimmed canvas rather than throttle. That is part of the appeal: the quiet between two headlands, afternoon light shifting across a sheltered anchorage, the small satisfaction of trimming sail as the breeze builds. On Sail Venus, all of that comes with the confidence of a boat that has barely finished its first year on the water.

For those searching for a gulet charter alternative or a Fethiye sailing charter with newer equipment, Sail Venus is worth a look. Contact us for current availability and a tailored quote.
