Sailing Albatros Escape on the Turkish Aegean
Albatros Escape is a 2024 Lagoon 46 with 2 x 57.0 HP engines and a beam of 7.96 m. Two hulls keep her level and stable at anchor, so lunch stays on the table and nights are calm – perfect for the long lines ashore in Turkey’s pine-fringed coves. Modern navigation, including an autopilot, makes her easy to handle. In summer the afternoon meltem breeze gives wonderful sailing, while mornings are made for swimming and paddleboarding in glassy water.
Skipper, Cook & Provisioning
Prefer to relax? A skipper (€160 per day + food) and a cook or hostess (€120 per day + food) are available on request. We can arrange provisioning with fresh Turkish produce before you arrive, so the fridge is full and you can sail straight away. The security deposit is €4,000.
