What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups With 6 cabins sleeping up to 10, PHOEBE is genuinely ideal for families or friends wanting to charter together without splitting across multiple boats. The 2023 build means everything feels fresh and modern.
Well-equipped catamaran This boat doesn't skimp on creature comforts, you've got air conditioning, a water maker, generator, Wi-Fi, and even an ice maker, which matters on long Mediterranean weeks. The electric winches and autopilot make handling easier for mixed-ability crews, and the teak deck plus cockpit cushions suggest real attention to comfort between sailing.
Solid value proposition At €8,100 per week, you're paying reasonably for a newer, six-cabin catamaran with this spec and kit. The zero deposit is a genuine bonus that reduces upfront cost.
One note on location The base location isn't showing in your data, so you'll want to confirm where PHOEBE is berthed before booking, it affects your flight routing and transfer time from major European airports. Once you know that, Cavo Yachting's perfect rating suggests smooth logistics.
