Capella1 Sailing Catamaran Hire

Capella1 is a Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 sailing catamaran based at Joya Del Mar Marina in Marmaris, Turkey. She is offered as a skippered week on the Turquoise Coast, with a dedicated captains cabin in the bows so the skipper does not take a guest berth. Four double guest cabins, each with an ensuite shower and electric head, sleep up to nine with the extra berth the operator publishes for this hull.

The Quatuor layout keeps every guest cabin ensuite. A wide sliding door joins the U-shaped galley to the cockpit, and 360-degree saloon ports keep the Turkish hills in view at anchor. Twin Volvo 50 hp engines, a watermaker, air conditioning, and a generator cover gulf hops from Marmaris toward Gocek, Fethiye, and the nearer islands without racing the tanks every night.

On deck the Astrea 42 platform gives a forward lounge on the trampolines, a helm with plotters, and a transom that drops to the water for swim stops. Length overall on this model is 12.58 metres with a 7.20 metre beam, a stable base for families or two couples who want a captain on board rather than a bareboat week.

This is a named hull, Capella1, not a fleet brochure. First nights from Joya Del Mar often stay inside Marmaris Bay or run toward Ekincik and Dalyan when the breeze allows. The skipper handles dock work and the coastal program; guests run the week on deck and in the four ensuite cabins.

No published week rate sits on the operator sheet, so ask the base for the current calendar. Capella1 is set up for private skippered sailing from Marmaris: four ensuite doubles, a bow cabin for the captain, watermaker, air conditioning, and generator on a Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42.
