Discover Turkey’s Secret Aegean Coast
Now Sailing from Fethiye, Summer 2026
The Moorings is expanding its Mediterranean portfolio with the launch of a new base in Fethiye, Turkey. Nestled along the lesser-known Lycian Coast, this new destination invites guests to uncover a part of the Aegean that still feels like a secret. One off pine-covered headlands, ancient cliffside ruins and clear turquoise water – a stretch of shoreline shaped for myth and ripe for discovery.
Charters begin in summer 2026, with bookings available from January 2026. From launch, guests will be able to explore the coast aboard our award-winning fleet, bringing Moorings comfort and ease to a part of the Med that’s rarely seen from the deck of a yacht.
Aegean, but Different
Fethiye sits at the meeting point of ancient cultures. Known for its natural protection and steady breezes, this coastline offers line-of-sight sailing between tucked-away bays, island passages and villages that feel unchanged by time.
It’s a region where the sailing is effortless, but the experience runs deep. Days unfold at your pace, with swims in clear coves, hikes to panoramic viewpoints and anchorages framed by olive trees and stone-cut tombs. Each stop feels like a discovery because here, even the best-known bays hold stories worth uncovering.
A Cruising Ground Carved by Nature
Popular spots like Sarsala Bay, Kapi Creek, and Göcek’s surrounding islands are loved for a reason – they’re beautiful, easy to reach and home to small waterfront tavernas tucked into the landscape. Further along, you’ll find cliff-backed lagoons, butterfly-filled valleys, and quiet bays where the only sound is water lapping on rocks.
This isn’t a coastline to race through. It’s one to uncover, little by little.
Sail Our Turkey Fleet
Our Fethiye base opens with a curated fleet of three Moorings catamarans, each selected for stability, comfort, and effortless days on the water:
- TM 4600 – 5 Cabin Catamaran
A versatile sailing catamaran with open-air spaces and a layout perfect for families and groups. - TM 5200 – 6 Cabin Catamaran
Our flagship six-cabin sailing catamaran. Spacious, social, and ready for longer charters with larger crews. - Moorings 464PC – 4 Cabin Power Catamaran
For those who prefer speed and simplicity, the 464PC brings space, performance, and flexibility to your itinerary.
Each yacht is equipped to The Moorings standards, with every detail designed to make life on board feel as smooth and natural as the waters outside your window.
A Shoreline Steeped in Story
On land, Fethiye offers more than provisioning stops. Its harbour town energy, ancient ruins and warm Turkish hospitality add depth to your time ashore.
Coastal hikes reveal tombs carved into cliffs. Villages blend modern marinas with timeless charm. Markets, cafés and quiet corners all offer a sense of place you won’t find in more traveled parts of the Med.
Who This Destination Is For
Fethiye is perfect for charterers who want a different kind of Mediterranean. One that delivers on comfort, but doesn’t follow the crowd.
It’s suited for new sailors, families, and seasoned guests alike – anyone seeking smooth sailing and new stories to bring home. Here, discovery doesn’t demand distance. Just an appetite for something more meaningful.
Join us as we open a new chapter in the Med. With Moorings service, curated yachts and a coastline rich in character. Your next charter invites you to discover Turkey’s secret Aegean coast.
