Derin

Derin is a 13.1-metre sailing yacht launched in 2007 and based at Ece Marina in Fethiye. With three private cabins and berths for six guests, she is available exclusively as a whole-boat charter, meaning your group has the entire yacht to yourselves from the moment you step aboard. Ece Marina's central position on the Fethiye waterfront gives Derin immediate access to some of the most rewarding sailing grounds along Turkey's southwest coast.

The Fethiye region is particularly well suited to a classic blue cruise format. From Ece Marina you can plan a day cruise into the sheltered coves that fringe the gulf, or set a course for a longer passage that takes in Göcek's island anchorages, the calm channels behind Dalyan, or the open bays further along the Aegean coast. Sailing under canvas adds a dimension that motor-powered itineraries simply cannot replicate: the quiet of the water, the response of the hull to the wind, and the ability to arrive at an anchorage on natural power alone.

Three cabins accommodating two guests each create a comfortable arrangement for couples travelling together or for a group of six friends sharing costs across the boat. At 13.1 metres, Derin is compact enough to anchor in bays that larger yachts cannot reach, yet her layout provides a clear separation between the cockpit, saloon and sleeping quarters so that guests have a degree of privacy even within a small group. Deck space on a sailing yacht of this size is a genuine amenity: a place to watch the coastline unfold, take lunch at sea, or simply sit as the sails do the work.

For anyone comparing Fethiye yacht charter options, a sailing yacht in this size bracket offers advantages in terms of manoeuvrability, fuel economy, and the authentic feel of wind-powered passage-making. Derin suits small families, close friend groups, and couples seeking a private, sea-level alternative to resort-based travel.
