HAPPY DAYS

HAPPY DAYS is a 30-metre custom yacht built by Fethiye Shipyard in Turkey in 2011 and refitted in 2021, operating under Turkish flag. She is the smallest vessel in the RightYacht-assessed fleet at this length threshold, and her Turkish-built provenance positions her within a well-established tradition of Aegean gulet and displacement yacht construction.

She accommodates 10 guests across 5 cabins with a crew of 5, giving a crew-to-guest ratio of one to two — appropriate for a vessel of this scale and typical of charter operations in Greece and Turkey. Her documented regions are Greece, Turkey, Mykonos, and the broader eastern Mediterranean. HAPPY DAYS is suited to smaller parties comfortable with a more self-sufficient charter dynamic. Those requiring the full-service crew presence of a larger superyacht may find the staffing lean.

With a cruising speed of 9 knots and a range of 480 nautical miles, she is designed for coastal cruising rather than extended passages. The hull and structural details are not fully documented in available records, though the 2021 refit provides a reasonable degree of confidence in her current mechanical condition. She is a practical vessel for island-hopping itineraries across the Cyclades, Dodecanese, or Turkish coast rather than trans-Mediterranean crossings.

The amenity inventory includes air conditioning, satellite television, sun deck, sunpads, and underwater lights — straightforward and appropriate to her size. Water toys are limited to paddleboards, canoes, water-skiing and wake equipment, and snorkelling gear, with fishing equipment also available. For a charter yacht of this footprint, HAPPY DAYS provides a workable platform for guests who prioritise destination access and flexibility over aboard programming.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols. As an independent authority, RightYacht provides owners and charterers with transparent, third-party evaluation — helping inform decisions beyond marketing materials alone.
