What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
15 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Ideal for couples Rhea suits pairs or small families wanting an easy-going week without the complexity of larger vessels. Two cabins and six berths mean you can bring friends or older kids comfortably, though the boat works best with 2, 4 people to keep things relaxed.
Well-equipped essentials This First 35 has the gear that matters: autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, a chart plotter keeps navigation simple, and the sprayhood plus bimini protect you from spray and sun. Heating and a fridge are genuine comfort touches for a boat this size, which many charters skip.
Excellent value proposition At €1,200 per week with a modest €1,500 deposit, Rhea is genuinely affordable, you're getting a proven, well-maintained design from 2011 without paying premium prices. For North American or European crews flying in, the cost per person over a week works out very reasonably.
One honest note We don't have the charter base location in the data, so you'll want to confirm sailing conditions, flight connections, and whether the operator offers delivery or pickup support, those details matter significantly for international crews. Once you know the base, contact Turistico Yachting directly to check availability for your dates and clarify any specific extras.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
