What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families This 2024 Bali catamaran works beautifully for multi-generational groups or two couples who want comfort without size. Ten berths across four cabins means everyone gets their own space, and the catamaran hull gives you stability that's brilliant for less experienced sailors or anyone prone to seasickness.
Well-equipped modern boat Solar panels, inverter, and electric winches show this yacht is built for easy cruising rather than hard work. Air conditioning, proper galley refrigeration, and snorkeling kit included mean you'll arrive relaxed and can jump straight into exploring, no scrambling to source essentials at the charter base.
Great value proposition At 12.3 metres with 2024 build quality and five-star operator credentials, the €1,000 deposit is genuinely low-risk. Athenian Yachts has perfect reviews, which matters when you're flying in from across the Atlantic or Europe with no chance to inspect beforehand.
One honest note The base location isn't listed here, so you'll want to confirm airport transfers and flight connections directly with Athenian Yachts, Greece-based charters typically mean Athens airport, which is manageable but worth checking before you book your international flights.
