What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
21 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect for relaxed cruising. The Grand Soleil 50 suits families and groups of friends who want a comfortable, well-equipped boat without the complexity of a larger vessel. At nearly 15 metres with four cabins sleeping up to 10, she's roomy enough for real comfort on week-long trips.
Solid mid-range features. You get the essentials that matter: electric winches (easy on the arms), a bow thruster (helpful in tight anchorages), chart plotter, and modern comforts like heating, Wi-Fi, and a teak deck that feels special. The bimini and sprayhood mean you're protected from the elements without fussing.
Good value proposition. At €2,405 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this 2005 Grand Soleil is honestly priced for a four-cabin cruiser in this size bracket. You're paying for a proven, well-built Italian design rather than paying premium rates for a newer boat.
One fair note. With only 3.3 reviews on file, NCP-Charter's track record is limited, worth checking recent feedback before committing, especially if you're flying long-haul to reach the base. The operator rating itself is solid at 4.3/5, but a larger sample would give you more confidence.

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.
