What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups Aiolos sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, making her ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long escape. At €4,743/week, you're looking at roughly €474 per person for a week of fully crewed chartering: genuinely strong value for a modern catamaran.
Well-equipped vessel This 2022 Excess 11 comes loaded with the essentials: autopilot, chart plotter, solar panels, snorkeling kit, and a swimming platform that'll get heavy use in warm water. Wi-Fi and cockpit speakers are nice quality-of-life touches that justify the newer build year.
Fair value overall The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and the catamaran hull means stable sailing and generous deck space, helpful when you've got 10 people aboard. Solar panels show the owner has thought about comfort on longer passages.
One note on reviews Thetis Yachts shows a 5-star rating, but that's based on just one review, so you might want to dig into other feedback channels or ask the broker directly about recent experiences with this specific boat. Since you're flying long-haul to reach the base, it's worth confirming the operator's track record with international clients and their standard turnaround support.
