Alboran Gin Fizz is a 2016 Oceanis 45 sailboat based at La Lonja Marina Charter in Palma, offering the perfect platform for exploring the Balearic Islands and the crystalline waters of the western Mediterranean. This well-maintained four-cabin vessel accommodates up to ten guests, making it ideal for families, groups of friends, or those seeking a shared adventure without sacrificing comfort or privacy. From Palma's vibrant waterfront, you'll have immediate access to hidden coves, secluded anchorages, and charming coastal villages that define this region's allure.

The yacht combines practicality with genuine comfort for a week at sea. The teak deck provides a warm, inviting space for morning coffee or evening aperitifs, while the Bimini top and sprayhood ensure protection from sun and spray during longer passages. Below deck, the galley is equipped with a refrigerator for provisioning local produce and wines, and the two heads allow guests to move through morning routines without tension. Navigation is straightforward thanks to the GPS chartplotter in the cockpit and the autopilot, which means less time wrestling with the wheel and more time enjoying the sailing itself. Solar panels supplement your power reserves, extending your independence at anchor.

Sailing from Palma typically means heading south toward the Cabrera Archipelago or west toward the dramatic cliffs of Sa Dragonera, with numerous anchorages offering shelter and solitude. The 54 HP engine provides reliable assistance in light winds or tight harbour approaches, while the lazy jacks and well-designed rig make sail handling manageable for mixed-ability crews. The annexe opens possibilities for exploring shallow bays and visiting waterfront restaurants accessible only by tender. Whether your group prefers leisurely days anchored in turquoise shallows with a radio-CD soundtrack, or more ambitious passages between islands, this vessel delivers the freedom and capability to make it happen.

A week aboard Alboran Gin Fizz often culminates in a sunset anchorage off a pine-fringed cove, the smell of grilled local fish drifting from nearby restaurants, and the simple pleasure of knowing tomorrow holds another day of Mediterranean sailing.
