IRIS

IRIS — Lagoon 46, Greece Delivered in 2025, Iris is a Lagoon 46 sailing catamaran based in Greece — a yacht built for the kind of cruising the Aegean rewards: long, easy passages between islands, anchorages reached under sail, and evenings spent on deck rather than indoors. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins, each with a double bed and its own ensuite bathroom, for a total of eight guests. It is a genuinely even layout, with no compromise cabin and no negotiation over who sleeps where — a practical advantage for two or three couples travelling together, or for families sharing the yacht as equals. Crew are accommodated separately in two dedicated cabins, which keeps the guest areas properly private. The technical package is what makes a week aboard straightforward rather than an exercise in rationing. Air conditioning, a generator, a watermaker and solar panels mean fresh water and power without constant recourse to shore. Under sail she carries a classic mainsail, with a bimini for shade in the cockpit, a flybridge for the helm and the view, and an outside GPS plotter within easy reach of whoever is steering. Below, the galley is fully equipped — fridge, freezer, oven, cooker and sink — and on deck an audio system with exterior speakers covers the hours between swim and dinner. Iris is offered with a crew of two on skippered charters, the format most guests choose: someone who knows the anchorages, the weather patterns and where to eat ashore. For highly experienced sailors, she is also available bareboat. A clean, current catamaran, sensibly specified, in one of the most rewarding cruising grounds in the Mediterranean.
