SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for groups This Bavaria 46 is perfect if you're bringing family or friends, four cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the teak cockpit with cushions makes socializing easy. It's a proper cruising boat built for relaxed sailing rather than racing thrills.

Well-equipped vessel The 2016 Bavaria comes with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels and inverter for off-grid flexibility, autopilot for long passages, and snorkeling gear ready to go. The chart plotter and heating mean you're set for navigation and cooler months.

Strong value proposition At a €2,500 deposit with Fethiye Sailing, you're looking at solid value for a mid-sized cruiser in one of Europe's best sailing regions, the Turkish Riviera and Greek islands are minutes away. Four cabins at this price point typically represent good bang-for-buck for international charterers flying in.

One practical note Fethiye is a straightforward 4, 5 hour drive from Dalaman Airport, and English-speaking support is standard at most Turkish bases, so logistics are manageable. Just confirm cabin layouts match your group's needs, older Bavarias sometimes have narrower aft cabins worth checking before you book.

The marina & destination

Based at Fethiye Sailing Club, in Fethiye, Turkey. Marlin is operated by Fethiye Sailing.

Şövalye Adası, Karagözler Mah, 1 Sokak No.34

Why this is a great starting point

Fethiye Sailing Club sits at the northern end of the Turkish Riviera, giving you immediate access to the Twelve Islands and the sheltered bays around Ölüdeniz within an easy sail. Week 1 typically takes you south along the coast to Kalkan or Kas, with steady northwesterly winds making for reliable downwind progress and frequent anchorages in pine-backed coves. The marina itself has good facilities and is well-positioned as a base for exploring the Lycian coast's steep, forested shoreline and numerous protected anchorages.

Frequently asked questions
Can Marlin be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Marlin 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 Marlin?
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.
