What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
23 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for groups This 38-foot catamaran sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to split costs on a Caribbean adventure. The layout and capacity punch well above what you'd typically find at this price point.
Well-equipped basics You've got the essentials covered, dual chart plotters, autopilot, dinghy with outboard, and a bimini for shade in the Cuban sun. The galley refrigeration and onboard entertainment keep things comfortable without unnecessary frills.
Excellent value proposition At €2,200 per week, this represents genuinely competitive pricing for a four-cabin catamaran in the Caribbean. Split eight ways, you're looking at pocket-money costs per person for a bareboat adventure.
One realistic note The 2003 build means this boat has real mileage on her, you'll want to do a thorough pre-charter inspection and confirm maintenance records directly with Platten Sailing. The single five-star review is encouraging but a small sample, so chat with the operator about recent refits and mechanical reliability before committing.
