Malea

Malea is a 12.76-metre sailing yacht built in 2016 and based at Ece Marina on the Fethiye gulf. She sleeps six guests across three private cabins and is hired exclusively as a whole boat: from the moment lines are cast off to the return to the dock, every cabin, the saloon and the entire deck belong to your group alone, with no other parties on board at any point.

The 2016 build year carries practical weight for anyone comparing sailing yacht charter options around Fethiye and Göcek. Her navigation electronics, interior fittings and deck hardware all come from a single, uninterrupted construction period, making Malea a coherent, well-integrated boat rather than one that has been revised piecemeal over successive seasons. That consistency is perceptible both when she is driving upwind in open water and when she is lying quietly at anchor in a sheltered cove.

At 12.76 metres, Malea's compact hull reaches anchorages that larger yachts cannot. The forested inlets of the Göcek gulf, its narrow island passages and enclosed bays all fall comfortably within range of Ece Marina. You can plan a single-day passage through the Göcek channels, or shape a multi-day Göcek blue cruise or a longer Fethiye sailing holiday entirely around your group's own tempo. The freedom to choose each morning where the anchor drops next is one of the most genuinely valued aspects of a private sailing charter.

What distinguishes a sailing yacht charter from a motor yacht hire is the quality of silence that settles over the boat when the engine cuts, the sails fill and the hull finds its rhythm through open water. On a modern, cohesively built vessel designed from the outset for coastal sailing, that silence is not an occasional reward but a reliable, everyday part of every passage. For six guests travelling together and considering a Fethiye yacht charter or a Göcek gulet charter among sailing alternatives, Malea's three-cabin layout and her Ece Marina base make for a well-considered starting point.
