Why sail here

The Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz is one of the best-known views near Fethiye, with turquoise water and paragliders overhead. Yacht access to the lagoon itself is subject to local rules.

Where is the Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon?

Ölüdeniz is south of Fethiye and is famous for turquoise water, a curving pale sand spit and paragliders flying down from Babadağ. The surrounding coastline is a memorable sight on a sailing holiday along Turkey's Turquoise Coast.

Can a charter yacht enter the lagoon?

The Blue Lagoon is a protected area. Yacht access, anchoring and landing can be restricted, so don't assume a yacht can sail into the lagoon itself. Check current regulations and practical access with local authorities and our crew before setting off.

What is worth seeing nearby?

Enjoy the coastal panorama from the sea, watch the paragliders overhead and explore nearby areas only where conditions and local rules permit. Butterfly Valley is another well-known destination on this stretch of coastline.

Catamarans for your holiday
