What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for larger groups. ALTHEA sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making her ideal if you're chartering with extended family or friends, rare to find this capacity on a 16-metre catamaran. The 2026 build means everything is modern and reliable.
Smart sustainable features. Solar panels, water maker, and an inverter suggest this boat is designed for longer, off-grid cruising without compromising comfort, air conditioning, ice maker, and Wi-Fi are all standard. The hydraulic gangway and electric winches make handling straightforward, even for less experienced crews.
Strong value proposition. At €21,067 per week with zero deposit required and a 5-star operator rating, this is competitive pricing for a brand-new six-cabin catamaran. You're getting serious equipment (water maker, generator, swimming platform) that usually costs extra elsewhere.
One realistic note: With just two operator reviews on record, Messinia Yachts is newer to the platform, worth requesting recent client references or checking their independent standing directly before committing. The base location data is missing here, so confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics once you've identified where she's berthed.
