What This Really Is

Beyond a Charter

This is not a standard yacht charter. From the moment you step aboard at Fethiye, the week is built around your group — how early you want to move, how long you want to stay in the water, and how much of the shore you want to see.

The Turquoise Coast is pine-backed bays and ruins you can swim over, in water warm enough to stay in until October. It is the slowest, warmest week we run.

A private crewed catamaran charter on Turkey's Turquoise Coast with Naveo starts from €19,000 per week. Departing from Gocek, the 7-day itinerary includes a Lagoon 46 catamaran, professional skipper, onboard chef preparing Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, all meals, fuel, and marina fees.

The Rhythm

A Day on the Water

Each day flows with intention and flexibility. No schedules, no pressure — just the rhythm of the sea and whatever feels right.

Morning

Wake slowly

Coffee on the foredeck with pines coming right down to the water. A swim before breakfast, while the bay is still flat and empty.

Midday

Short hops, shallow coves

Passages here are measured in single figures. Lunch at anchor somewhere the catamaran can tuck right in against the trees, where a deeper boat cannot follow.

Afternoon

Ruins and water

Swim over the sunken Byzantine steps at Gemiler, or walk up to the ghost village at Kayaköy. Or stay aboard on the trampolines and let the afternoon go.

Evening

Dinner at the water's edge

A jetty restaurant at Kapı Creek, or the chef cooking at anchor. Turkey is hot until late, so dinner runs long and nobody moves afterwards.

Inspiration

A Sample Sailing Week

Board in Fethiye, meet your skipper and chef, and settle in. A first swim off the back and dinner aboard as the harbour lights come on.

Welcome aboardMeet the crewFirst swim

Fifteen miles to Cold Water Bay by way of Gemiler Island, where a Byzantine church sits on the hill and the old steps run down under the sea. You swim over them.

Snorkelling the ruinsByzantine church walk

A walk inland to the abandoned village at Kayaköy, then sixteen miles on to Kapı Creek for dinner at a jetty restaurant in the pines.

Kayaköy walkDinner ashore

Five easy miles through the Yassıca islands, where the water goes the colour of a swimming pool and the anchorages are shallow and sheltered.

Yassıca islandsPaddleboardingSwimming

Three miles to one of the calmest bays on the coast. A day for the water toys, a long lunch, and not much else.

Water toysLong lunch

A last full day working back through the quiet end of the gulf, with time ashore for anyone who wants the paragliders over Ölüdeniz.

Optional paraglidingFinal anchorage

One more swim from the boat, then the run back into Fethiye, coffee on deck and farewells before transfers to Dalaman.

Final route depends on weather conditions and your preferences. Every week is different.

The Yacht

Lagoon 46

A 46-foot catamaran with four double cabins, each with its own bathroom, air conditioning and natural light. Cabins sit up in the hulls with hatches above, which matters in a Turkish August. Larger groups move up to a six-cabin catamaran for up to twelve guests.

  • 4 ensuite double cabins (sleeps 8)
  • Air conditioning in every cabin
  • Hot showers throughout
  • Spacious saloon and cockpit
  • Full water toys: SUP, snorkelling, dinghy

Why a Catamaran?

A catamaran draws about a metre and a half against a gulet's two and a half to three. On this coast that is the difference between anchoring out in the middle of a bay and tucking right up against the pines. It also stays flat, and it breathes better on a hot night.

From Vincent

“Turkey is where I send people who want to slow all the way down. The passages are tiny, the water stays warm into October, and you can swim over a Byzantine staircase before lunch. Note that dinners ashore are cheap here but the wine is not — that is the one thing that surprises people.”

— Vincent Braakman, Founder
