Shooting Star (Gianetti 65)

Classic Italian elegance This 2008 Gianetti is a beautifully-built Italian cruiser that rewards sailors who appreciate quality over flashiness. She's well-equipped for extended offshore passages with a water maker, generator, and inverter, serious kit for genuine blue-water cruising rather than day sailing.

Who she suits She's ideal for groups of 4 to 6 who want a proper yacht with character; her 19-metre length is handled entirely by the professional crew, so no helming confidence is needed from guests. The air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and snorkeling gear make her comfortable enough for a week-long exploration without feeling like you're roughing it.

Strong value proposition At €12,487 per week with zero deposit and a 5-star operator rating, you're getting a serious offshore cruiser at a fair charter rate. The inclusion of water maker and generator, often charged separately, adds genuine value for longer cruises in remote anchorages.

One practical note At 15+ years old, systems like air con and the water maker will perform well but may need occasional attention; confirm your operator's maintenance schedule upfront. She's not a turn-key "easy week" boat, she's a vessel that asks something of her crew but rewards that effort with authenticity and capability.
