Iris

Iris is a five-cabin sailing yacht launched in 2025 and based at Ece Marina. Measuring 14.91 metres and carrying up to ten guests, she is chartered exclusively as a private whole-boat hire: every cabin, the cockpit and the full deck belong to one group for the entire voyage.

The 2025 build date is not a marketing footnote; it has concrete, practical meaning. Every piece of rigging, every electrical circuit, every deck fitting and interior fixture is in factory-fresh condition. The gradual deterioration that marks older charter yachts, worn halyards, corroded connections, loosening hardware, simply does not exist on a vessel this new. On passages away from marina support, that freshness translates into meaningfully lower mechanical risk. Guests who have previously dealt with equipment problems on older boats tend to notice the difference within the first few hours underway.

Ece Marina sits at a natural starting point for sailing toward the Göcek islands and the wider Fethiye bay system. A shorter cruise can concentrate on the nearest sheltered coves and anchorages close to the marina, while a week or longer allows for a full blue cruise at whatever pace the group prefers. There is no fixed schedule: departure times, anchorage choices and the daily rhythm are decided entirely by what the group wants. For anyone planning a Göcek yacht charter or a Fethiye sailing charter aboard a genuinely new vessel, Iris is an uncommon option at this marina.

Sailing under canvas offers a mode of travel that motor cruising cannot match. With the engine off, the coastline passes in near silence, and evenings at anchor carry a calm that is rarely found on busier vessels. The five-cabin layout suits couples travelling together, close friend groups and multi-generational families with equal ease.
