What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
28 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 groups seeking tradition. Hera is an excellent choice if you're traveling with family or friends who want an authentic gulet experience without the mega-yacht price tag. At 22 metres with 5 cabins sleeping 8, she's intimate enough to feel cosy but spacious enough that people won't be cramped.
Standout creature comforts. For a 1998 gulet, she's well-equipped with air conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi, and modern touches like an ice maker and paddleboards, rare finds on traditional vessels of this age. The included dinghy and snorkelling gear mean you can explore anchorages properly without renting extras.
Excellent value proposition. Zero deposit required is genuinely unusual and makes booking risk-free; combined with Bloem Yachts' reputation for solid Mediterranean operations, you're getting accessible pricing on a classic wooden vessel that typically commands premium rates just for its heritage.
One practical note: We don't have the base location confirmed in your data, so do check with Bloem Yachts whether she's in Turkey, Croatia, or Greece, that'll affect flight connections from the US or UK significantly. Once you know the base, factor in a 2, 4 hour transfer from the nearest international airport to factor into your travel day.

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.
