What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups This 2018 Saona 47 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across 6 cabins, making it ideal for larger families or friends chartering together. The beam and layout of a cat means everyone gets reasonable privacy and comfort without feeling cramped.
Well-equipped vessel HERMES comes with genuinely useful extras, electric winches take the hard work out of sailing, radar and chart plotter handle navigation, and the teak deck is a lovely touch for barefoot comfort. The onboard generator and inverter mean reliable power for fridges and entertainment, which matters on longer charters.
Solid value proposition A 2018 boat in this size range with 6 cabins and this spec represents reasonable value for groups splitting costs, especially if you're flying in from the US or Europe. The €3,000 deposit is refreshingly low, which helps with upfront commitment.
One heads-up We don't have the base location or charter pricing here, which are crucial for judging real value and your travel logistics. Before booking, confirm the base airport connections and total weekly rate so you can factor in flights and transfers from your home region.

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.
