The Moorings is expanding its Mediterranean portfolio with a new base in Fethiye, Turkey. Opening for summer 2026 and on sale from January, this hidden corner of the Aegean offers one of the region's most naturally protected coasts. A stretch shaped by myth, anchored in story and waiting to be uncovered.

Sailors can now explore this lesser-known coastline aboard our award-winning fleet, with a choice of three catamarans: the TM 4600-5 and TM 5200-6 sailing and the TM 464PC powered. Each delivering the comfort, space and thoughtful design The Moorings is known for around the world.

Here, discoveries come easily. Short, line-of-sight passages, connect pine-backed coves, tucked-away anchorages and island-framed horizons. It is one of the most forgiving and rewarding places to charter in the Med. From the glassy Gulf of Fethiye to the cliff-lined shores near Gemiler Island and the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz, guests will uncover a side of the Aegean that feels both untouched and uniquely Turkish.

Fethiye itself is built for both land and sea. The town blends modern marina facilities with ancient Lycian ruins and a lively local culture, offering a balance of history, hospitality and harborside ease. Ideal for provisioning, exploring, and returning to the quiet of your yacht.

"Our guests come to us for comfort, service, and the feeling of complete ease on the water," says The Moorings. "Fethiye delivers that naturally. It's a destination shaped by stories, and our yachts are designed to let you write your own."

Bookings for Turkey will open in January 2026, with availability beginning in the Mediterranean summer 2026. For more information or to register your interest in discovering Turkey's secret Aegean Coast please visit The Moorings.

About The Moorings Established in 1969, The Moorings began with six yachts and has now expanded to cover over 20 incredible destinations from the Caribbean and Thailand to Croatia and Greece, offering the choice of over 400 sail, power or crewed yachts as part of its award-winning charter fleet.
