SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for couples This 2024 Jeanneau is an excellent choice for two couples or a small family wanting a relaxed motorboat holiday. The 12.2-metre size strikes a nice balance between being manageable and having enough comfort for a long-distance cruise.
Smart modern cruiser You're getting a genuinely new boat with solid practical kit, autopilot, chart plotter, and bow thruster mean easier handling, while air conditioning and that teak cockpit make time on the water genuinely pleasant. The swimming platform is a real bonus on warm Mediterranean or European inland routes.
Reasonable value proposition At this length and berth count with 2024 build quality and a modest €2,500 deposit, the pricing sits fairly in the market, neither a bargain nor premium. Assuming weekly rates are competitive for the region, it's honest value for a new, well-equipped motor cruiser.
One practical note You'll want to confirm the exact charter base location and how far that is from your nearest major international airport, Italiamare operates across several European bases, so travel logistics vary significantly depending on which one holds this vessel. That'll affect your overall trip planning and cost.

The marina & destination
Based at Mergelina e Porto di Sannazaro, in Naples, Italy. The Beginning is operated by Italiamare.
Via Francesco Caracciolo
Mergellina and Porto di Sannazaro sit within Naples harbour, offering straightforward access to the Amalfi Coast and Capri; week one typically involves sailing south along the Campania coast with reliable northwesterly winds, calling at Positano, Ravello's waters, and the dramatic cliff-backed anchorages around Capri. From here you can reach Ischia and Procida to the west, or push further south toward Salerno, giving you plenty of protected anchorage options and established provisioning stops within easy day-sail distances. The marina location cuts transit time to the sailing grounds, though Naples harbour itself can be congested and you'll want local knowledge or a skipper familiar with the approaches.
