What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups ALIA is an excellent choice for larger parties or multi-family charters, five cabins and ten berths give everyone their own space without breaking the bank. At €4,345 per week, you're looking at roughly €435 per person for a week-long escape, which is genuinely solid value for a modern 2024 catamaran.
Modern comforts included This boat ticks the practical boxes: air conditioning (essential in warmer climates), autopilot for easier sailing, solar panels to keep battery costs down, and a proper chart plotter in the cockpit. Vernicos Yachts' 4.9/5 rating across 17 reviews suggests reliable service and well-maintained vessels, which matters when you're flying in from abroad.
Strong value proposition New-build Excess catamarans are known for their stability and comfortable layouts, you're not compromising on quality here. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and the inclusion of essentials like a dinghy, electric toilet, and coffee maker means fewer surprise costs once you're onboard.
One practical note The base location isn't specified in your data, so I can't advise on airport proximity or transfer logistics, definitely confirm this with Vernicos before booking, especially if you're coordinating long-haul flights from the US or Europe.
