Elena

At 22 metres, Elena is an intimate gulet departing from Fethiye, purpose-built for relaxed private cruising with groups of 6 or fewer.

Three cabins below deck — a master and two doubles, each with its own bathroom — give six guests quiet, private space to return to after each day on the water. Three crew members handle everything from the sailing to the meals, keeping the operation smooth without making the boat feel crowded.

Guests will find air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a sound system, hot water throughout, an ice maker, sun awnings, and sun mattresses on deck on board, along with all the everyday essentials expected on a well-run gulet. When the anchor drops, the toys come out: Elena carries a dinghy, kayaks, snorkelling gear, stand-up paddleboards, and fishing lines for active days in the water.

Fethiye is the most versatile departure point on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, and for a smaller yacht like Elena the advantages are direct: shallower anchorages inside the Twelve Islands, quieter coves around the Tasyaka fishing villages, and the far western reaches of Gocek Bay are all accessible where larger gulets have to stay further out. A group of six can spend a week based here without repeating a single overnight stop.
