About this yacht
3 cabins
SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits: This Bavaria 45 works beautifully for families or small groups of four to eight people wanting a comfortable, confidence-inspiring sailing experience without needing expert-level skills. The three-cabin layout offers privacy while keeping everyone connected on a relaxed week away.

Standout strengths: Bavarias are industry workhorses known for solid build quality and predictable handling, so you get a reliable, easy-to-manage boat rather than a temperamental showpiece. At 14.3 metres with eight berths, it balances decent space below with genuine sailing performance rather than pure floating hotel.

Value consideration: At a 2011 build with a modest €2,000 deposit, this represents sensible value if you're chartering through Lycian Sail, though the operator's five-star rating is based on just two reviews, so take that with a light touch. You're paying for proven design and dependability rather than cutting-edge luxury.

One thing to note: We don't have the charter base location listed here, so before booking, confirm where you'll fly into and how far the base is from major European hubs, transfer logistics matter when you're crossing continents for a week.

The marina & destination

Based at Ece Marina, in Fethiye, Turkey. Shoogle is operated by Lycian Sail.

Karagözler, Fevzi Cakmak Cd.

Why this is a great starting point

Ece Marina sits in Fethiye's well-protected bay on Turkey's southwest coast, making it ideal for week 1 exploration of the Lycian coast's pine-backed anchorages and island-hopping grounds. Light northwesterly winds typically allow you to reach the Red Island group, Oludeniz lagoon, and the Ekincik river delta within easy day-sail distances; the sheltered bays here offer good holding and few other boats early in the season. The marina itself provides reliable facilities and a straightforward departure point before venturing further east toward Gocek or west toward Dalyan.

Frequently asked questions
Can Shoogle be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Shoogle bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Shoogle?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
