What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Day boat option The Aquila 28 is a modern open-air day cruiser with no overnight cabins, so it's built for exploring during daylight hours rather than live-aboard charter. This 2023 motor boat suits groups wanting flexibility to return to a waterside hotel or villa each evening while still enjoying a proper vessel experience.
Solid comfort features The teak deck and bow thruster are genuinely useful touches for a 9.4-metre boat, the thruster makes tight mooring situations much easier, and teak adds both durability and that proper yacht feel. You'll also find a chart plotter for navigation and a coffee maker to keep spirits up during a full day on the water.
Reasonable deposit required At €3,950, the deposit is fairly standard for a new build in this size range. Without seeing the daily rate, it's hard to assess absolute value, but the 2023 build quality and practical equipment suggest you're not paying for age or compromise.
Location matters here The charter base isn't specified in the listing, which is a red flag, you'll need to contact Free Charter Srl directly to confirm where you'll actually collect the boat and factor in your international travel. Once you know the base, check airport transfer times and whether English-speaking support is available during your charter.
