Alara-3 is a 2025 Bavaria C42 sailboat based at Marina Imbat in Fethiye, Turkey—a gateway to some of the Mediterranean's most captivating cruising grounds. This 12.38-metre vessel offers the perfect balance of performance and comfort for groups of up to six guests seeking a week of authentic sailing through turquoise waters and hidden anchorages along the Turkish Riviera.

The yacht's three cabins and two heads accommodate families, groups of friends, or multiple couples with genuine privacy and ease. Modern conveniences enhance your time aboard: a bow thruster simplifies tight marina manoeuvres, electric toilets with holding tank management reduce daily maintenance, and a 57-horsepower engine ensures reliable passage-making when the wind drops. Solar panels and a voltage converter keep your devices charged without draining the batteries, while the teak deck—warm underfoot and naturally elegant—sets the tone for leisurely mornings with coffee in hand.

Your week typically unfolds between Fethiye and the Greek islands, with days spent sailing to secluded bays, snorkelling over sunken ruins, and anchoring in coves accessible only by water. The bimini and sprayhood protect you from intense sun and spray, making the cockpit a genuine living space; cushioned seating and speakers transform sunset hours into something memorable. A bow thruster and autopilot mean less physical demand and more time to absorb the landscape—whether you're an experienced sailor refining your technique or a confident group looking to explore at a relaxed pace.

Evenings anchor in postcard-perfect settings: perhaps Ölüdeniz's lagoon, the pine-fringed beaches near Dalyan, or a quiet spot where the only sound is water lapping the hull. Local tavernas on nearby shores serve fresh catch and regional wine, accessible by tender in minutes. A week aboard Alara-3 becomes a rhythm of sailing, swimming, and stillness—days measured not by schedules but by wind, light, and the unhurried pleasure of discovery.
