What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
14 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.
Solid starter choice The First 35 is a classic, well-proven design that suits couples and small families wanting a manageable sailing boat without complexity. At 10.8m, it's responsive enough to feel like real sailing, yet forgiving enough for less experienced crews.
Practical highlights You get genuinely useful kit here, lazy jack and sprayhood make sail handling far less stressful, the chart plotter removes navigation guesswork, and heating plus refrigeration mean actual comfort on cooler-water cruises. Wi-Fi connectivity is a bonus for staying loosely in touch without feeling tethered to land.
Excellent value proposition At under €1,800 per week with only a €1,500 deposit, this offers genuine affordability for a 2-cabin cruiser with sensible equipment included. You're not paying for flashy extras, just a boat that works.
One practical note With six berths across two cabins, that's tight quarters if you're at full capacity; the second cabin is genuinely cosy rather than spacious. Also, we'd recommend confirming the charter base location and flight connections before booking, since long-haul logistics matter when you're traveling from North America or continental Europe.

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.
