Patroniçe is a 73 feet sailboat, ketch rigged with genoa, mainsail and mizzen on roller furlers. She accommodates up to 10 passengers in 5 double cabins. This boat is suitable both for sailing lovers and those who want to discover a new world from the sea. Its size and tonnage make her stable at sea, but also responsive and fast under sails when the wind rises in the afternoon.

Patroniçe was launched in 1987 in Ayvalik. Her first owner is a businessman from Istanbul married to a British woman. He called on an English interior naval architect to develop an elegant sailboat combining a pleasant life on the deck and a warm private atmosphere for family & guests.

In 2006, we fell in love with Patroniçe, we were attracted by her elegant line, her unusual comfort and overall harmony that is rarely encountered on a boat of this size. Our experience of life at sea and our pleasure to renovate have led us to do a lot of work on her that now, despite her age, Patroniçe is like a new boat.

The lower deck is entirely dedicated to the 5 cabins : The master cabin and the 4 guest cabins are spacious and nicely decorated. Each cabin has its own air conditioner, sufficient storage space and a bathroom with shower, basin and toilet. Crew members have their quarters in the back, separated from the passengers area.

The saloon (38 sqm) includes the American kitchen and a round table to dinner inside if necessary, a cosy sofa to read or play backgammon, and the navigation desk with its chart table. Walls are magnified with varnished wood gnarl and the floor is covered with seagrass and kilim carpets.

The main deck is really welcoming. On aft, shadowed by a bower, the dining table seats up to 10 people and the curved benches invite you to dream and relax. Front beach, where the toys are stored (kayaks, floating pontoon), is quite spacy as well with its outdoor lounge very pleasant at sea and for aperitif time.

The spardeck, on the ceiling of saloon, has a bimini top providing a shady area over the cushioned cockpit area. Here is amazing place to enjoy the navigation, tan on the sunbeds or chat under the milky way.
