For guests who would rather sail than motor, this 15-metre yacht offers the quiet version of the corridor from Saranda — three cabins for six, a skipper aboard, and canvas up to catch the afternoon maestro. She is the boat for people who like the heel and the silence: a north-westerly filling in around midday gives an easy F3–4 reach along the Albanian coast, ideal for a lazy afternoon under sail between swim stops. Her draught and rig keep her to the open, deeper bays rather than the tightest coves, but that still means Kakome, the water off Ksamil, and the sheltered pool at Porto Palermo. She is happiest on quiet day sails and short two- or three-night cruises, where the point is the passage as much as the destination.
Aboard
Three cabins sleep six, with a skipper who handles the boat and the pilotage so guests can simply sail or swim. She carries snorkelling gear and a tender for getting ashore in the smaller bays.
The cockpit is set up for long afternoons under way — shade up, sails trimmed, the coast sliding past at six or seven knots.
Where she sails
Day sails run south toward Kakome Bay and the Ksamil shallows or north-west along the Riviera, using the midday maestro for the outbound reach and the evening calm to hand back.
Porto Palermo, ~15 nm up the coast, makes a natural overnight on a short cruise, its deep, near-landlocked bay giving all-round shelter under Ali Pasha's fortress.
The crossing
A crossing to Corfu is well within her range on a settled day — ~12–15 nm, a half-day sail — bringing the north-east coves at Kalami and Agni into a two- or three-night itinerary.
Crews plan it for a morning with a workable slant rather than punching across in a flat calm under engine.
