SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits Bluefest is built for larger groups, families, friends, or corporate teams seeking an intimate gulet experience along Turkey's stunning coastline. With 8 cabins sleeping up to 18, you're getting genuine social sailing rather than a luxury getaway for two.

Standout features The gulet format itself is the real draw here: traditional wooden sailing combined with modern comforts like air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Snorkeling gear is included, so you can explore Mediterranean reefs directly from the boat without extra rental costs.

Value for money At 27 metres with no deposit required, this offers honest, accessible group sailing. Turkish gulets punch well above their weight for value compared to equivalent European or Caribbean options, and you're getting established operator Farout Yachting handling the logistics.

One honest note The 2005 build date means Bluefest is nearly 20 years old, nothing wrong with that for a traditional gulet, but do check the latest condition reports before booking. Also, confirm exactly where the Turkey base is located (Bodrum, Göcek, etc.), as your flight connection time from international hubs varies significantly.

The marina & destination

Based at Fethiye port, in Fethiye, Turkey. Bluefest is operated by Farout Yachting - Turkey.

Karagözler Mah, Fevzi Cakmak Cd.

Why this is a great starting point

Fethiye port sits at the gateway to Turkey's southwest coast, with week one typically taking you east towards the dramatic anchorages of the Ekincik Bays and Dalyan, or west to the Sarsala area and beyond. The sheltered waters and numerous island stops make it ideal for building confidence in the first few days before pushing further into the Mediterranean. Prevailing summer northwesterlies mean you'll have consistent downwind legs to popular cruising grounds, with good provisioning stops at Ekincik and Göcek within easy reach.

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