13m Lagoon 42 Charter Marmaris | 2024 | RH1304

The Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris proposition is a simple one: a 2024-built French sailing catamaran, twelve metres eighty on deck, lying stern-to in Albatros Marina with four double cabins made up and the Hisarönü Gulf an afternoon’s sail away. Twin 57-horsepower Yanmar diesels, a full-batten mainsail and a furling genoa give her the range to work the coast in either direction, and a draught of just 1.25 metres lets her tuck into the shallow sand-bottomed coves that deeper monohulls have to admire from outside.

She sleeps eight in four identical double cabins, each with its own head and a separate shower compartment, and a fifth skipper cabin forward keeps professional crew out of the guest accommodation entirely. Air conditioning throughout, a generator, a watermaker and an inverter mean a week at anchor asks for no compromise. Aquinox arranges this Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris the way guests actually want a catamaran arranged: provisioned, skippered if you wish, and routed so that every evening ends somewhere worth waking up in.

Thirteen metres, built in 2024

The Lagoon 42 is the most widely built catamaran of her size in the world, for structural reasons rather than fashionable ones. The mast is stepped aft of the saloon, which shortens the mainsail foot, moves the boom clear of the coachroof and brings the sheeting within reach of the raised starboard helm. She is a boat a couple can handle and a full crew can drive hard. This example left the yard in 2024, displaces 7,500 kilograms light and carries 600 litres of fuel.

Systems are the part that decides a week. The watermaker removes the anxiety of tank management in August; the generator runs the air conditioning at anchor rather than only on shore power; the inverter keeps the domestic circuit alive overnight without waking the anchorage. A hard bimini shades the helm, and the tender sits on transom davits with its own outboard, so the beach is five minutes away rather than a negotiation.

A Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris week on the Hisarönü Gulf

Aquinox arranges boat-in dining along the coast, the waterline tavernas where the kitchen sits at sea level and the table waits for the yacht to come alongside. A Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris week turns the gulf into a string of them: Turgut, Selimiye, Bozburun, Orhaniye and the sandspit at Kızkumu, each an hour or two apart and none of them reachable by road in any way that makes sense.

North of the Bozburun peninsula the Gulf of Hisarönü opens into a run of anchorages — Dirsek, Bördübet, Keçi Bükü — that stay quiet well into September. West, the Datça peninsula and the ruins at Knidos make a two-day passage with the prevailing meltemi on the quarter. East, Ekincik and the Dalyan delta sit within a comfortable day. Few Turkish bases give a Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris three genuinely different weeks from one berth.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon of this Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris runs the full width of the bridgedeck with windows on three sides, so the view from the dinette is the anchorage rather than a bulkhead. A wraparound settee seats eight around a table that drops to form another double berth. The galley sits to port at saloon level — gas hob, oven, deep double sink, front-opening refrigeration — keeping whoever is cooking in the conversation rather than exiled below.

A proper chart table with instruments, breaker panel and VHF sits to starboard, facing forward through the windscreen. It is the small thing that separates a cruising catamaran from a floating apartment: someone can navigate without first clearing away breakfast. Light oak joinery, cream headlining and suede upholstery keep the interior calm rather than glossy.

Four cabins

Each hull of this Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris carries two double cabins, and each cabin has its own head with a separate shower stall rather than a wet-room compromise. Hull windows at berth level mean you wake to water instead of a porthole. Opening hatches and an air-conditioning outlet in every cabin matter more in the Aegean than any amount of joinery, and both are present. The forward skipper cabin stays entirely separate.

On deck and in the water

The aft cockpit is the room everyone actually lives in aboard a Lagoon 42 charter Marmaris: a teak table for eight under the bimini, folding chairs, and the helm raised to starboard so the person steering is still part of the company. Forward, twin trampolines and a full-beam sunpad take the crowd off the cockpit at midday. Bathing platforms on both transoms drop straight into the water.
