Avalon | Solaris 55 sailboat rental

Departing from Marina Porto Rotondo in Sardinia, Italy, sailors can access the scenic Mediterranean waters and surrounding island anchorages. Constructed by Solaris Yachts, Solaris 55 Avalon is a 2023 sailboat measuring 16.7 m (55 ft) in length with a draft of 2.7 m (9 ft). Available for skippered charter, she provides navigational leadership for exploring coastal itineraries.

Her length gives extra space on board compared with smaller monohulls across her 3 cabins and 1 crew cabin, accommodating up to 7 people with 3 heads equipped with electric toilets. Inside Avalon, air conditioning enhances onboard comfort, though it operates only when connected to 220V shore power in a marina or port. A watermaker extends time between port calls to support autonomous cruising, and a microwave is fitted in the galley area.

Under sail, the vessel utilizes a full batten mainsail, while a bow thruster, an autopilot, and a VHF radio assist with navigation and close quarters harbor maneuvering. Outdoor speakers provide audio entertainment across the open deck. Mechanical propulsion is supplied by two 75 HP engines, supported by a 900 L fuel tank and a 900 L fresh water tank. She is operated and managed by the charter company Aladar Sail.
