Steelbird I

Steelbird I is a 12-metre sailing yacht built in 2008, permanently berthed at D-Marin Göcek Marina. Three private cabins sleep up to seven guests, and the yacht operates strictly on a whole-boat charter basis: every part of the vessel, the cockpit, the saloon, the foredeck and beyond, belongs exclusively to your group for the full duration of the trip.

The 12-metre hull is particularly well suited to Göcek's distinctive geography. The sheltered coves around the Göcek islands, the narrow channels threading toward Fethiye Bay, and the quieter anchorages in the direction of Gökova all fall within comfortable sailing range. Crucially, anchorages that remain closed off to larger, deeper-draft vessels become genuinely accessible here, giving a Göcek yacht charter aboard Steelbird I a practical advantage that goes beyond comfort alone. You can plan a multi-day blue cruise with the itinerary decided fresh each morning, or find a favourite cove and anchor there for as long as your group prefers.

Sailing under canvas carries a quality that motor yachts simply cannot match: an early-morning departure in near silence, a steady afternoon breeze filling the sails, an evening anchorage well away from any crowded quay. Steelbird I has been in continuous seasonal service since 2008, building a consistent track record in these specific waters. That accumulated sea time matters most when conditions change and reliable seamanship becomes the deciding factor.

For a private group of up to seven guests seeking an authentic sailing yacht charter in Göcek, Steelbird I represents a well-tested and capable option. Get in touch to check availability and receive a personalised quote.
