Lapin

Based at Ece Marina in the Fethiye Gulf, Lapin is a 13.05-metre sailing yacht built in 2007, carrying up to six guests in three private cabins. The yacht operates exclusively as a whole-boat charter, meaning the deck, cockpit, and all shared spaces belong entirely to your group from the first day to the last.

The difference between sailing aboard Lapin and motoring across the same waters on a gulet becomes tangible the moment the sails fill and the engine falls quiet. Hull noise drops away, replaced by the sound of water along the keel, and the boat begins to respond to the sea in a way that motor-driven hulls cannot replicate. Lapin's comparatively shallow draft adds a practical layer to this: she can reach sheltered anchorages in the Fethiye Gulf that deeper keelboats simply cannot access, including quiet coves that stay calm well into the peak summer weeks. For a Fethiye yacht charter that balances reach with serenity, that is a meaningful advantage.

Programmes aboard Lapin can be built around a half-day sail or extended into a multi-day blue cruise itinerary departing from Ece Marina. You can head toward the Göcek islands in the morning, anchor in a calm bay for a long swim, and leave the rest of the day open, or plan a coastal passage that develops according to the wind and the group's mood. The 2007 hull brings the structural reliability that longer passages genuinely call for, and the flexibility of a sailing yacht means no two days need to follow the same shape.

At anchor, the cockpit and open deck prove generously proportioned for a yacht of Lapin's length, naturally becoming the social centre of the group for meals, conversation, and watching the evening light move across the water. For anyone comparing a gulet charter with a sailing yacht charter out of Fethiye, Lapin offers a clear, well-founded case for choosing canvas over diesel.
