Esmeralda is a charming 24-meter gulet cruising along the beautiful Kas & Kekova coastline of the Turkish Riviera. Fully refitted in 2018, she offers 7 comfortable cabins for up to 16 guests, ideal for families and small groups.

All cabins feature private bathrooms, storage space, and portholes for natural light and fresh air. The warm wood interiors create a cozy and inviting atmosphere onboard.

The aft deck includes a shaded dining area and cushioned seating, while the foredeck offers sunbeds for relaxing under the Mediterranean sun. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling in crystal-clear bays as your experienced crew takes care of every detail, including delicious Turkish cuisine prepared by your onboard chef.

Daily Updated Calendar - 6 Hr A/C

Perfect for groups Esmeralda is an excellent choice if you're chartering with a larger crew, 7 cabins and 16 berths mean family groups or friends can spread out comfortably. The zero deposit requirement is genuinely rare and makes booking hassle-free.

Classic gulet appeal You get the authentic Turkish gulet experience: traditional wooden construction, snorkeling gear included, and air conditioning throughout for hot Mediterranean summers. Wi-Fi keeps you connected if you need it, though honestly you'll want to unplug on this one.

Strong value proposition At 24 metres with this cabin count and zero upfront deposit, Esmeralda offers solid economics for group charters, especially when you factor in the snorkeling kit and air con as standard. Turkey's gulet season also tends to deliver better rates than comparable vessels elsewhere in the Med.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the exact base location (likely Turkish Riviera, but worth confirming directly with Farout Yachting), so contact them early to nail down airport transfers, flying into Dalaman or Bodrum and coordinating ground logistics takes a bit of coordination from the UK or US.

The marina & destination

Based at Fethiye port, in Fethiye, Turkey. Esmeralda 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.

Can Esmeralda be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Esmeralda 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 Esmeralda?

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.
