What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples and small groups. The First 44 is an excellent mid-size cruiser that suits experienced sailors and confident beginners alike, three cabins sleep six comfortably, making it ideal for two couples or a family wanting their own space without the complexity of larger yachts.
Well-equipped and modern. You're getting a 2023 build with genuinely useful features: electric winches ease handling, a bow thruster helps tight anchorages, and the teak deck plus bimini add real comfort for Mediterranean or warm-water cruising. The snorkeling kit and dinghy are bonuses that justify the spec.
Strong value proposition. At €5,320 per week with zero deposit required, this represents solid mid-range pricing for a new, fully-equipped 44-footer, especially if you're flying long-haul from the US or further afield and want a turnkey boat that won't nickel-and-dime you with missing gear.
One honest note: The operator has only two reviews on record, so while the 5/5 rating is positive, you're betting on a relatively unproven charter house. I'd suggest checking their cancellation policy and getting direct references before committing, particularly if you're coordinating complex travel logistics from overseas.
