What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2022 Astréa catamaran sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, making it brilliant for families or friends wanting to share costs on a longer trip. The newer build year means systems should be reliable, and the wide beam typical of catamarans gives everyone comfortable living space.
Well-equipped comfort You're getting genuine thoughtful touches here, air conditioning, heating, underwater lights for evening swimming, a cockpit barbecue, and quality speakers for sundowners. The autopilot and chart plotter take the stress out of longer passages, while a generator and inverter mean you won't run short on power for coffee, refrigeration, or those creature comforts.
Solid value proposition At €2,500 deposit with a 5/5 rating from Ultra Sailing (even if just four reviews), this feels like a trustworthy operator. The equipment list is genuinely generous for the size, you're not paying extra for basics you'd expect elsewhere.
One caveat worth noting We don't have the base location listed, which matters for your flight logistics and what sailing conditions you'll actually get. Before booking, confirm where she sits and whether transferring from the nearest major airport is realistic for your itinerary.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
