This is Aquinox Yachting’s large group gulet charter Fethiye option: a 44-metre twin-masted vessel launched in 2012 as the last and largest of her series, and among the most spacious charter yachts touring the Fethiye and Göcek coastline. Fourteen en-suite cabins sleep up to 32 guests, supported by a crew of ten, making her a natural choice for large family reunions, corporate retreats, weddings and milestone celebrations that call for a single vessel rather than a flotilla. Traditional Turkish shipwright construction meets contemporary comfort throughout: broad teak decks, deep lounge seating fore and aft, and a formal dining salon finished in varnished wood.
Built in 2012 and based in Fethiye, this gulet measures 43.9m (144ft) with a 9.45m beam. She carries 14 en-suite cabins across three decks in a 6 double / 4 twin / 4 triple configuration, sleeping 32 guests in total, and is worked by a crew of ten including a dedicated chef and chef’s assistant. Twin engines rated at 720hp each (Daewoo) give her the range to cover the Twelve Islands and beyond in comfort, with 16,000 litres of fuel and 20,000 litres of water capacity supporting extended itineraries away from marina facilities.

The cabin plan is built for groups rather than couples: six double cabins, four twin cabins and four triple (bunk-bed) cabins, every one with a private en-suite bathroom and WC. Air conditioning runs throughout, and the layout spreads guests across the lower and main decks to keep sightlines and traffic manageable even at full capacity. It is this cabin density, rare among Fethiye’s charter fleet, that makes the yacht practical for gatherings that would otherwise need two or three smaller boats. It is exactly this scale that makes her Aquinox’s go-to large group gulet charter Fethiye recommendation for parties of 20 or more.


Forward, a wraparound sunbed platform wraps the mast for full-day lounging in Fethiye’s clear water light. Aft, a shaded beanbag lounge and cocktail table offer a lower-key alternative, positioned just steps from the wheelhouse and helm. Every seating area on deck is covered by bimini shade during the midday hours, a detail that matters on a longer group charter where guests are on deck more often than below.


A dedicated chef and chef’s assistant run the galley, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner at the aft dining table, which extends to seat the full charter party under cover. Expect Aegean and Mediterranean cooking built around the day’s provisioning — grilled catch, mezze spreads and seasonal produce sourced ashore at each stop, planned into the itinerary rather than pre-packaged. For groups marking an occasion, the table converts easily to a formal set piece, linen and all, for a milestone dinner at anchor.

Stand-up paddleboards and a full set of snorkelling equipment are carried as standard, well suited to the sheltered, clear-water coves along the Fethiye and Göcek shoreline. The broad swim platform aft makes entering and exiting the water straightforward even with a large group cycling through at once — a practical consideration this size of charter rarely gets right. As with the rest of this large group gulet charter Fethiye itinerary, equipment is sized for a full boat of guests, not a handful.

Departing Fethiye’s Marina Yat Limanı, the standard route threads the pine-covered coves of the Göcek peninsula and the Twelve Islands, with Turkish territorial waters extending as far as the nearby Greek Dodecanese and Cyclades for charters that want to cross over. It is the same cruising ground covered by Aquinox’s other Fethiye-based large-group gulet, for parties comparing tonnage and cabin count before booking.

A crew of ten runs the yacht: captain, engineer, three deckhands, three hostesses, a chef and a chef’s assistant. English and Turkish are spoken across the senior crew positions. For a 32-guest charter this ratio keeps service attentive without feeling institutional — closer to a small boutique hotel’s staffing than a typical day-charter operation.

Weekly rates for this group gulet charter in Fethiye start from €36,000 in low season, rising to €50,400 across the late-June to late-August peak. A fixed EUR 40 booking fee applies per charter in addition to the weekly rate. For groups also weighing a slightly larger option, Aquinox’s 42m deluxe gulet out of the same region offers a comparable cabin count with a different layout.
