LYCIAN QUEEN

The Lycian Queen suits groups who want a motor sailor built in 2015 rather than an older traditional hull. At 37 metres with an 8.3 metre beam, she carries eighteen guests across eight cabins, which keeps a larger party together without the feel of a crowded boat. She is a practical choice for friends or families who want space to spread out between swims and shore stops.

Accommodation is arranged in eight cabins: one master, one VIP, four doubles and two triples. This mix lets couples, friends and smaller groups choose a configuration that suits them, with the master and VIP cabins offering the most privacy. A crew of six looks after the cabins and day-to-day service, so the running of the boat stays in the background.

On deck, the yacht offers a deck shower and sun mattresses, and snorkelling equipment is carried for time in the water. These are practical rather than showy additions. Days tend to follow the rhythm of swimming stops at anchor, with the deck shower for rinsing off between them and the sun mattresses for the hours in between.

The Lycian Queen is based in Göcek and can embark from Fethiye, Marmaris, Bodrum, Kos or Rhodes. Cruising areas cover the Bodrum Peninsula, Göcek and Fethiye, Marmaris and Datça, Kaş and Kekova, and the Dodecanese. Itineraries can be tailored to the group, and suggested routes are always available as a starting point.
