Perfect for families The Oceanis 43 is an excellent choice for groups of four to eight wanting a comfortable, well-equipped cruising yacht. Four cabins and solid creature comforts like air conditioning and a full galley setup make it genuinely liveable for week-long charters, not just a floating hotel room.

Standout practical features You get a proper sprayhood and bimini for protection, autopilot to ease longer passages, and a chart plotter for navigation, all essentials that take the stress out of sailing. The 2009 build means systems are proven and reliable, not cutting-edge but dependable.

Solid value proposition At 12.8 metres with four cabins, this represents decent space-per-euro, and BBS Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just two reviews) suggests professional, hassle-free operations. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable for a yacht this size.

One honest note Without knowing the charter base location, I can't advise on flight connections or airport logistics, that matters significantly for international clients flying long-haul. Contact BBS directly to confirm where you'll be sailing and how straightforward the airport transfer is from major European or transatlantic hubs.

The marina & destination

Based at Ece Marina, in Fethiye, Turkey. Soyamaje is operated by BBS Yachting.

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.

Can Soyamaje be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Soyamaje 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 Soyamaje?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
