What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for couples or small families wanting a modern, well-equipped sailing experience without cramped quarters. The three-cabin layout works perfectly for two couples or a family of four to six, and the 2022 build means you're getting current-gen comfort and reliability.
Standout features here are the teak deck, water maker, and underwater lights , details that signal real attention to comfort and ambiance. The full suite of extras (air-con, generator, autopilot, chart plotter, dinghy) means you're genuinely ready for serious cruising, whether that's bareboat or with a skipper.
Good value proposition for a modern 17m cruiser in this segment. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and you're getting a newer boat with serious kit , water maker and generator alone justify confidence in longer passages or remote anchorages.
One gentle heads-up: The base location isn't specified in the data, so before committing, confirm the airport access and charter operator's English-speaker availability , especially important if you're flying from the US or northern Europe and need smooth handover logistics.
