What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
Perfect for groups. At 14 berths across 8 cabins, Orion Star is genuinely built for larger parties, families, friends, or corporate retreats who want to charter together rather than book multiple boats. The 2018 Lagoon 52 catamaran hull keeps things stable and spacious, which matters when you've got that many people aboard.
Well-equipped vessel. The spec sheet reads like a comfort checklist: air conditioning, water maker (crucial for longer passages), electric winches, autopilot, and a decent nav setup. You're not roughing it, and the dual-hull design means easier movement around deck and less motion in chop, a genuine plus when cabins are full.
Solid value proposition. At €12,000 per week, you're looking at roughly €857 per person for a 14-berth charter, which is competitive for a modern cat of this size and condition. DEDA's 5-star rating (albeit from a small sample) and their "Sailing Holidays Hub" positioning suggest they've thought through the group-charter experience.
Base location matters. We don't have confirmation of where this boat actually sits, so before committing, confirm the charter base and flight connections from your home airport, that's your real cost variable for a long-haul group trip. Once you know that, you'll have the full picture on whether logistics work for your crew.
