Lauda

Lauda is a 12.4-metre sailing yacht built in 2023 and based at Lykia Yacht Club on Turkey's southwestern coast. With three private cabins and sleeping capacity for six guests, she is chartered exclusively as a whole boat: your group has her entirely to yourselves for the duration of the trip. Her contemporary build year means her fittings, rigging and interior finishes reflect current standards rather than years of accumulated wear.

Sailing from Lykia Yacht Club places Lauda at the gateway to the Lycian coast, a stretch of water known for clear seas, secluded anchorages and ancient ruins visible from the water's edge. A day charter gives you the freedom to explore the coves closest to the marina, swim, snorkel and return by evening. If you prefer a longer blue cruise, you can plan multi-day routes that take in quiet overnight anchorages along the Lycian shoreline, arriving at each new bay under sail with the engine off and the water calm.

What distinguishes a sailing yacht charter from a motor-yacht trip is the quality of quiet on board. Lauda moves with the wind, and on a well-filled reach that means cool air across the deck, the sound of water at the hull and very little else. For a group of up to six, the three cabins divide the sleeping accommodation cleanly without anyone feeling cramped, while the communal cockpit and saloon offer enough shared space for meals and evenings together.

A 2023 build in the gulet and sailing yacht charter market is genuinely noteworthy: the yacht has had minimal time in service, which translates into reliable equipment and a well-maintained interior from the very first season. Whether you are planning a compact long-weekend escape or a full week's yacht charter along the Lycian coast, Lauda represents a practical and well-specified choice.
