Lauda

Lauda is a 12.4-metre sailing yacht built in 2023 and based at Lykia Yacht Club on the Lycian coast. Chartered exclusively as a whole vessel, every space on board, from the deck and cockpit through to the saloon and cabins, is reserved for one private group throughout the entire booking period.

The 2023 build date is among the most tangible differentiators Lauda brings to the Lykia yacht charter market. Standing and running rigging, deck hardware and cabin interiors have completed only a handful of seasons, so they still perform and present much as they did when the yacht was new. On a sailing yacht, the condition of the rig and onboard systems directly shapes how each passage feels underway. The gradual wear that accumulates on older hulls simply has not had time to develop on Lauda, and along a coastline where conditions can shift without much warning, that mechanical reliability translates into noticeably more confident sail handling and a smoother passage for everyone on board.

Three private cabins accommodate six guests in total, making Lauda a practical choice for two or three couples travelling together, a close group of friends, or a family that values time on deck alongside the privacy of a dedicated cabin at day's end. From Lykia Yacht Club, a day sail into one of the sheltered coves along the Lycian shore makes for a straightforward and rewarding outing, anchoring in calm, clear water for a long afternoon swim. Groups with more flexibility can plan a multi-day blue cruise along this stretch of coast, where ancient Lycian ruins stand close to the waterline and the daily route can shift freely according to wind, weather and the crew's collective mood.

The moment the sails fill and the engine falls silent, the quality of motion a sailing yacht delivers becomes the defining character of the voyage, something a motor vessel simply cannot replicate. Between passages, the cockpit and saloon offer an easy setting for meals and relaxed conversation, while the deck becomes the natural gathering point during the daylight hours.
