Book straight with the team that runs the boats.
Joy Yachting owns and manages its own fleet, so the person who confirms your dates is the person who hands you the keys. Charter agents are welcome to book with us directly too.
You speak to the team who manage the yacht
Ercan and Özgür run the operation themselves. Ask about a cabin, a route or a turnaround time and the answer comes straight from the person responsible for it.
Pricing you can actually read
The charter fee is shown in full, by season, before you commit to anything. Where mandatory charges apply we confirm them on enquiry rather than folding a vague figure into the headline price.
A local team, at the marina
Joy Yachting is based at Ece Marina in Fethiye, 45 minutes from Dalaman Airport. Provisioning, transfers and a hand on the dock come from people who are already there.
Support before you sail, and while you are out
Practical advice before departure, and a number that reaches the same team once you have left the pontoon.
Hold a week before you pay anything
Ask for an option and we hold the yacht for 3 days while you decide. Nothing is paid online.
Four steps from here to the water.
Choose your yacht

Bays worth changing plans for.
A week out of Fethiye reaches Roman masonry under two metres of water, a canyon full of moths, and coves you can have to yourselves before breakfast.
Sarsala Bay
Just 7 NM south-west of Göcek, Sarsala reveals itself like an inland lake, with excellent holding in mud and sand beneath pine-covered slopes.
Explore
Bedri Rahmi Bay
Named after the poet-painter, this cove holds Lycian rock tombs and the artist's fish motif etched into the rock at the water's edge.
Explore
Cleopatra's Bath
A historic thermal bath with partially submerged Roman masonry, shallow enough to see clearly from the surface with a mask.

Fethiye / Muğla
The regional hub and home of Ece Marina — provisioning, restaurants and the starting point for every Joy Yachting charter.
Explore
Butterfly Valley
A 350 m canyon sheltering Jersey tiger moths through the summer, with a waterfall walk inland from the beach.

The turquoise pool behind a white sand spit, with paragliders descending from Babadağ overhead.

Five uninhabited isles in Göcek Bay with shallow coves — the best paddleboard and snorkelling stop of the week.

The newly refurbished and well-maintained yacht was extremely comfortable. Our captain was knowledgeable and friendly, making our journey both safe and enjoyable. Thank you for this great time!

Questions we are asked
Which day does a charter start and end?
Every charter starts and ends on a Saturday and lasts a week or more. Check-in is from 17:00 and check-out by 09:00; where to find the yacht at the marina is confirmed in writing with your booking.
What is included in the price?
The weekly rate is for the whole yacht, not per person. On top of it come the transit log and final cleaning (€250–300, mandatory, once per charter) and a skipper if you take one. If the guests change during a longer charter, the transit log and cleaning are due again at each check-in. Not included: fuel, food and drink, port, marina and customs fees, and water and electricity taken in harbours. The yacht goes back with a full fuel tank.
How much does a skipper cost?
A skipper costs €175 a day, and the skipper’s meals are paid by the guests. You can also sail without one if someone aboard holds a licence to skipper a yacht that is accepted in Turkey, where our yachts are registered: the enquiry form asks, and we confirm the licence when we reply.
How much is the security deposit?
The security deposit is €2,000 on our catamarans and €1,500 on our sailing yachts. It is refundable: it is taken at check-in, in cash or as a card authorisation, and returned at check-out when the yacht comes back complete and on time. Any damage is deducted from it.
Catamaran or sailing yacht: which should we choose?
Our catamarans, the Leopard 40 Panda Joy and Lagoon 39 Joy One, have 3–4 cabins, more deck space and sit level at anchor, which suits families and larger groups. Our sailing yachts, the Bavaria Cruiser 37 Roger Rabbit and Bavaria Cruiser 34 Taz, have 2–3 cabins and are the choice for those who want the sailing itself.
How many people can each yacht take?
Panda Joy (Leopard 40): 3 cabins, up to 8 guests; Joy One (Lagoon 39): 4 cabins, up to 8 guests; Roger Rabbit (Bavaria Cruiser 37): 3 cabins, up to 6 guests; Taz (Bavaria Cruiser 34): 2 cabins, up to 4 guests. The price is always for the whole yacht, not per person.
Can we hold a week before paying?
Yes. Ask for an option: there is no payment. We check the week and hold the yacht for you for 3 days while you decide, and you confirm the request from your own phone with a prepared WhatsApp message.
Is there a discount for longer charters?
Yes. A charter of 3 weeks (21 nights) or more gets 10% off the charter fee. It is applied automatically when we price your dates, so there is no code to ask for.
What if we have to cancel?
Holding a week with an option costs nothing. Once a charter is confirmed, cancelling costs a fixed €300 when it is 90 days or more before the charter, 30% of the charter fee from 89 to 69 days, 50% from 68 to 36 days, and the full fee in the last 35 days.
Can we sail to the Greek islands?
No. Our yachts sail in Turkish waters only: they are licensed for coastal cruising in Turkey, and their insurance does not cover them outside Turkish waters.
