Derya

Derya is a 14.8-metre sailing yacht built in 2022, based at Ece Marina in Fethiye and available exclusively as a whole-boat charter. Four private cabins and a well-proportioned saloon accommodate nine guests, with every square metre of the yacht reserved for a single group from the first day to the last.

In a charter market where many sailing yachts were launched in the early 2000s, a 2022 hull carries a practical advantage that goes beyond aesthetics. Interior finishes remain in original condition, mechanical and electrical systems meet current standards, and the structure has not accumulated the gradual wear that builds up over two decades of active sailing seasons. For anyone planning a week-long blue cruise out of Fethiye, that reliability matters every single day.

Ece Marina provides a well-established departure point for a wide range of itineraries. Depending on the group's preferences and the time available, guests can plan passages toward the sheltered anchorages of the Gökova Gulf, explore the quieter inlets of the Hisarönü Bight, or keep closer to Fethiye for shorter day sails among the surrounding coves. The itinerary belongs entirely to the group; there is no fixed schedule.

The defining character of a sailing charter is the transition from engine noise to open-water silence when the sails fill and take over. Derya's deck gives nine guests genuine space to move, rest and spread out, without the crowded feel that smaller vessels can create. As a fully private charter, the group sets its own course, chooses its own anchorages and controls the pace of each day without outside constraint.

For those comparing a gulet charter with a sailing yacht charter in Fethiye, Derya's 2022 construction and her performance under sail represent a clear and tangible alternative. Reach out for current availability and a personalised charter quote.
