Turkish Chamber of Shipping Fethiye Evaluation Meeting

As Buenoways Yachting, we participated in the 2025 season evaluation meeting hosted by Fethiye Branch of Turkish Chamber of Shipping. The meeting was on Thursday, 18 December, at the Uygulama Hotel. Focusing on the present state and future outlook of the region’s yachting tourism ecosystem, the meeting provided a productive platform for consultation among sector stakeholders.

A Broad-Based Sector Meeting

Hosted by Turkish Chamber of Shipping – Fethiye Branch, the meeting brought together members operating in marinas, agencies, water sports activities, yacht management, yacht construction, and haul-out facilities.

Thanks to the participation of stakeholders from different sub-segments, comprehensive and multi-dimensional assessments of the sector’s overall landscape were conducted.

2025 Season Review and Expectations for 2026

During the meeting, participants evaluated the overall performance of the 2025 season. In addition structural challenges encountered throughout the year and the current regional and national state of the sector were discussed. Also, expectations, forecasts and proposed solutions for the 2026 season were shared through open dialogue.

Insights and first-hand experiences shared by participants proved particularly valuable for yachting tourism, marina services, and Blue Cruise operations.

From our perspective, prevention of illegal charter activities and the new mooring/buoy system in Göcek stood out as the most critical topics.

Emphasis on Collective Insight and Sustainability

One of the key highlights of the meeting was the sustainable development of maritime tourism activities in Fethiye. Acting with a spirit of collective insight and cooperation would make a significant contribution to the region’s brand value and long-term growth.

Acknowledgements

We would like to thank the management of Turkish Chamber of Shipping Fethiye Branch for organizing this productive meeting, as well as all members who attended. We wish that the outcomes of the meeting will be beneficial for our sector.

As Buenoways Yachting, we will continue to support and contribute to all initiatives that promote the development of the maritime and yachting tourism industry.
