Enquire NowHer Story
Happy Days is a handsome 30-metre motor vessel — measuring 30.00 metres overall (26.50 metres on the hull) — conceived and constructed at the renowned Fethiye Shipyard in 2011 and comprehensively refitted in 2021 to meet the exacting standards of today's discerning charter guest. Sailing under the Turkish flag, she represents the finest traditions of Aegean craftsmanship: a beam of 6.90 metres lends her an exceptional sense of space both on deck and below, while a draught of 3.75 metres allows confident navigation through the shallow coves and hidden anchorages of the Turkish Riviera.
Power comes from twin Iveco engines producing a combined 700 horsepower, driving Happy Days to a comfortable cruising speed of 9 knots and a maximum of 11 knots, with a range of 480 nautical miles — more than enough to explore the full arc of Turkey's Turquoise Coast in a single charter week. Fuel capacity of 3,855 litres and a freshwater capacity of 5,000 litres, supplemented by an onboard watermaker producing 300 litres per hour, ensure complete independence from marinas for days at a time. Two Onan 22.5 kW generators provide uninterrupted power, and 24-hour air conditioning throughout all guest spaces guarantees comfort even on the warmest Aegean afternoons.
The 2021 refit brought a thorough renewal of her interiors and deck spaces, resulting in a yacht that feels contemporary yet warmly timeless. Carefully chosen materials, considered lighting, and thoughtful furniture arrangement create a saloon that functions equally well as a convivial gathering space for ten guests and as a quiet retreat for reading or watching satellite television. A well-appointed bar anchors one end of the saloon, while generous seating and a cool breeze of conditioned air make the interior as appealing as her sun-drenched decks.
On deck, Happy Days reveals the generous proportions that have made the traditional Turkish motor yacht so beloved on the Mediterranean circuit. The aft deck hosts an elegant dining area shaded by a broad bimini, ideal for long al fresco lunches at anchor. Moving forward, a dedicated seating area offers a more intimate setting for cocktails and conversation, while the foredeck is arranged for sunbathing with cushioned pads that catch the first warmth of a Turkish morning. A swim ladder at the stern provides easy access to the sea, completing the picture of a yacht designed entirely around the pleasure of her guests.
The Onboard Experience
Sun, Sea, and Every Pleasure Between
Where languid days at anchor give way to exhilarating moments on the water.
Happy Days is equipped with an outstanding collection of water toys and leisure equipment, ensuring that no two afternoons at anchor feel alike. The flagship of her water sports fleet is a superb 6.80-metre BRIG rigid inflatable tender powered by a 200 hp outboard engine and rated to carry all ten guests — an exceptionally capable vessel for island-hopping excursions, water-skiing runs, or simply exploring a remote cove. For those who prefer a quieter communion with the sea, two single canoes and two paddle boards are always at hand, perfect for gliding across the glassy waters of a secluded bay at dawn.
Thrill-seekers will find a complete suite of tow sports equipment aboard: adult water skis, child water skis, a wakeboard, a mono ski, and two ringos for high-energy fun behind the tender. Snorkelling equipment is provided for those who wish to explore the rich marine life of the Aegean and Turquoise coasts, while dedicated fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the well-stocked fishing kit — comprising two rods, two longlines, and six basic lines — ideal for a lazy afternoon trailing a line from the stern. A full selection of board games rounds out the indoor entertainment options for quieter evenings.
Throughout all guest spaces, connectivity and entertainment are seamlessly integrated: Wi-Fi keeps guests in touch when they choose to be, Bluetooth speakers fill the decks and saloon with music, and a satellite television in the saloon provides news and film for quieter evenings at anchor. The 24-hour air conditioning system, twin generators, and onboard watermaker ensure that every creature comfort is maintained at sea, making Happy Days as effortlessly self-sufficient as she is enjoyable to live aboard.
Guest Accommodation
Five Cabins, One Seamless Escape
Intimate, climate-cooled sanctuaries conceived for the deepest rest and renewal.
Happy Days accommodates up to ten guests across five thoughtfully appointed cabins, each with its own private en-suite bathroom and individual climate control. The aft master cabin is the most coveted address aboard: a generous private suite positioned at the stern for exceptional quiet and stability, furnished with a queen-size bed, a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a personal safety box. The forward master cabin mirrors this arrangement at the bow, offering a queen-size bed, en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, and safety box — its forward position making it a particularly peaceful retreat when the yacht lies at anchor.
Two identical twin cabins, situated on the port and starboard sides respectively, provide beautifully balanced accommodation for friends or families travelling together. Each features twin beds, a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a safety box, and their symmetrical layout gives each cabin an equal sense of space and light. Completing the guest accommodation is an aft starboard double cabin — a comfortable and private stateroom with its own bathroom and air conditioning, ideally suited for a couple or a solo traveller seeking their own sanctuary. All five cabins were refreshed during the 2021 refit, and the result is a cohesive, warm aesthetic that speaks quietly of quality throughout.
The crew of five occupy two separate crew quarters forward, entirely distinct from the guest areas, ensuring both privacy and the seamless, unobtrusive service that defines a truly memorable charter. The principal saloon, air-conditioned and furnished for ten, serves as the social heart of the yacht — complete with a bar, generous seating, satellite television, and Bluetooth audio — bridging the world below decks with the glittering sea beyond.
Cruising Regions
The Waters She Calls Home
From Türkiye to Greece — every voyage, a new chapter.
Happy Days charts a course through Türkiye and Greece, offering an extraordinary range of coastlines, cultures, and hidden anchorages. Each region brings its own character — from secluded coves to storied harbours — woven together by the timeless rhythm of the sea.
Where East Meets West on Water
Happy Days was born on the Turkish Riviera and knows its waters intimately. Based out of the creative hub of Fethiye — where her own Fethiye Shipyard keel was first laid — she is perfectly sized for the celebrated cruising grounds that stretch from Göcek's pine-fringed island cluster southward through the Lycian Coast to Kaş and Kekova. Her 9-knot cruising pace and 480-nautical-mile range allow a week's itinerary to encompass ancient Lycian rock tombs rising from clifftops, turquoise bays reachable only by sea, and lively evening harbours where the catch of the day is grilled at waterfront restaurants.
The Hisarönü and Bozburun peninsulas, Marmaris, Bodrum, and Datça all lie within comfortable reach, each offering its own distinct character — from the cosmopolitan energy of Bodrum's nightlife to the wild, undeveloped anchorages of the Datça Peninsula where Happy Days can swing at anchor for a full day without another vessel in sight. Her 6.80-metre BRIG tender makes light work of shore excursions, ferrying guests to market towns, cliff-jumping spots, and the ruins of submerged cities with equal ease. Whether chartering in May when the first wildflowers are in bloom or in September when the Aegean settles into a golden, languid calm, Turkey aboard Happy Days is a revelation.
