What KateBot thinks

Perfect for couples This 2024 De Antonio D28 is an excellent choice for two people wanting a modern, compact motorboat experience. The single cabin with two berths keeps things intimate, and the recent build year means everything onboard will be in pristine condition.
Solid practical features You're getting genuinely useful kit here, the bow thruster makes solo handling much easier in tight spots, while the electric toilet and refrigerator are modern conveniences that matter on a boat this size. At 8.5 metres, she's nimble enough to explore smaller harbours and coastal spots that bigger vessels can't reach.
Reasonable deposit, mixed operator track record The €3,000 deposit is sensible for a boat of this value, but Baotic Yachting's 3.7-star rating with only 3 reviews suggests limited charter history. Before booking, it's worth asking directly about their experience with this specific vessel and what support you can expect during your charter.
Know your base location The charter base location isn't listed in your details, so confirm where you'll be picking up, this matters significantly for flight connections and transfer times if you're flying in from the US, UK, or mainland Europe. Once you know the base, you can plan your travel logistics properly.
