Who It Suits. This is a solid choice for larger groups or extended families who want comfort without a massive price tag; the six cabins sleep 11, so you've got room to breathe and privacy for everyone.
Key Strengths. A 2021 Dufour catamaran offers stability, easy handling, and decent interior space across those cabins; catamarans are forgiving for mixed-ability crews, and this model is straightforward to manage.
Value For Money. At 6000 euros per week, you're getting a modern catamaran with good capacity at a reasonable rate for the Med in peak season; the 3500 euro deposit is fair and proportionate.
One Fair Note. Marina d'Arechi sits on the Amalfi Coast near Salerno, which is scenic but bottled in summer; if you're chartering July-August, book well ahead as this spot gets crowded and local anchorages fill fast. The base does have English-speaking staff, which helps for international clients.

Based at Marina d'Arechi, Italy. Olga is operated by Marina Yacht Charter.
Marina d'Arechi sits at the northern gateway to the Amalfi Coast, putting you within a day's sail of the Sorrentine Peninsula's steep cliffs, the island of Capri, and the quieter anchorages around Positano and Praiano. Week 1 typically involves working south towards the Cilento coast or north towards the islands of Li Galli, with reliable thermal winds and short hops between established ports. The marina's position on the Tyrrhenian Sea means you can reach protected anchorages and small fishing villages without committing to longer passages, making it ideal if you're adjusting to Mediterranean sailing after a long flight.
