The overall length of the boat is 82 ft / 25,0 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): air condition, stand up paddle (sup) and it’s obligatory extras: . The main sail is It has no sails. You can check-in from 16:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Balu
6 cabins for 14 berths means about 3 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2.3 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 25 m, this gulet needs earlier berth planning and more turning room in busy marinas.
Best charter fit
Balu suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 6 cabins and 6 heads. Choose it for short hops or swim stops where boarding access, seating and deck storage matter more than sail handling.
The Gulf of Fethiye and its bays from Fethiye
Fethiye is a proper market town at the foot of the gulf, its cliff carved with Lycian rock tombs and a big town marina to provision from. The nearest bays, Şövalye Island and Boynuz Bükü just inside the gulf, are the natural place to start when the handover leaves daylight; a late finish is easily spent on the town quay right there. Dalaman Airport (DLM) is the nearest gateway, a 45–70-minute road transfer. The route swings south and west to the ruined chapels of Gemiler and the Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz, then round the sheltered inner bays, all short hops on protected water, so a windy afternoon can be sat out and, with the route staying inside the gulf, the last leg back to Fethiye stays short. Carry on east along the exposed Lycian shore to Kalkan and Kaş and the passages open up and lengthen, better saved for a longer charter.
