Avra is a 2023 Bavaria C42 sailboat based at Rhodes New Marina, your gateway to one of the Mediterranean's most enchanting sailing grounds. This 12-metre sloop offers the perfect balance of modern comfort and genuine sailing performance, ideal for groups of friends, families, or couples seeking a week of authentic exploration among the Greek islands. With three cabins sleeping up to eight guests and two full heads, there's ample space for everyone to find their rhythm aboard.

Stepping onto Avra's deck, you'll immediately appreciate the thoughtful design: a generous bimini top provides respite from the Aegean sun during long anchorages, while the well-appointed cockpit features an integrated GPS and autopilot—allowing you to settle into the sailing rhythm without constant hands-on work. The bow thruster makes tight harbour manoeuvres straightforward, even for less experienced crews. Below deck, the galley keeps provisions fresh via a reliable refrigerator, and the cabin layout encourages both privacy and togetherness. Solar panels quietly work throughout daylight hours, reducing your reliance on engine power and generator noise.

From Rhodes, your week typically unfolds across the Dodecanese islands and beyond. Mornings might find you sailing to Symi's pastel harbourside houses, afternoons anchoring in crystalline bays perfect for snorkelling—the onboard snorkelling kit and tender dinghy make exploration effortless. Evenings bring local taverna meals ashore or quiet suppers at anchor, with the cockpit speakers providing a gentle soundtrack as the sun dips toward Turkey's distant shores. The combination of steady winds, protected anchorages, and welcoming island communities creates a rhythm that feels both adventurous and deeply restorative.

Avra suits sailors of all levels: experienced crews will relish the responsive handling and modern systems, while those newer to sailing find the autopilot, GPS, and bow thruster reassuring companions. A week aboard typically balances sailing days with leisurely anchorages, cultural exploration ashore, and those unforgettable moments—perhaps a sunset drink at the helm while dolphins glide past, or discovering a hidden cove where the water is so clear you can see straight to the seabed.
