AYCA is a 2026 Oceanis 52 based in Kos, Greece—a 16-metre sailing yacht perfectly positioned for exploring the Dodecanese islands. With six cabins and twelve berths, she accommodates larger groups, families, or friends seeking a week of shared discovery across crystalline Aegean waters. Kos Port serves as an ideal departure point, offering immediate access to nearby islands like Pátmos, Léros, and Kálymnos, each with distinct character and anchorages that shift from bustling harbours to tranquil coves within hours of sailing.

Life aboard AYCA balances comfort with genuine seamanship. The yacht is equipped with a 110 hp engine, bow thruster, and autopilot—tools that make navigation intuitive for both experienced sailors and those new to bareboat chartering. Four ensuite heads ensure practical living for a full complement of guests, while air conditioning and a generator provide respite during warm Mediterranean afternoons. The well-appointed galley keeps provisions fresh with its refrigeration, and the generous cockpit—shaded by a bimini and fitted with cushioned seating—becomes the natural hub for morning coffee, midday planning, and evening aperitifs as the sun descends toward Turkey's distant coast.

A typical week unfolds with unhurried rhythm. You might sail to Pátmos to explore its whitewashed monastery, anchor off Léros for a quiet swim, or thread through Kálymnos's narrow channels where sponge fishermen still work traditional grounds. The dinghy and outboard motor open access to beaches unreachable by larger vessels, while the GPS and chart plotter guide confident navigation between islands. Onboard speakers in the cockpit set the mood as you prepare dinner from local markets—fresh feta, sun-ripened tomatoes, and catches from morning visits to waterfront tavernas.

AYCA suits groups of up to twelve who value both independence and comfort, whether sailing with family across multiple generations or with close friends seeking adventure without compromise. Seven nights minimum allows time to truly settle into island rhythms, discovering hidden anchorages and returning each evening to a secure, well-appointed home afloat.
