What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal For Groups This 2025 Leopard 50 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it perfect for large families, friends' getaways, or corporate retreats who want to avoid multiple boat bookings. The spacious layout and modern build year mean you're getting current design standards with minimal wear.
Standout Comfort Features Sonea is genuinely well-equipped by any charter standard: think washer/dryer, ice maker, water maker, and solar panels plus generator, so you won't be rationing fresh water or power. The flybridge, teak cockpit, and underwater lights elevate the experience beyond basic chartering, and having both snorkeling gear and a tender lift onboard removes planning headaches.
Strong Value Proposition At roughly €6,975 per week, you're looking at under €600 per person for a 12-berth yacht in 2025, that's genuinely competitive for a new-build catamaran with this specification and amenities. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable too.
One Practical Note The charter operator's base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm where you'll actually depart from and how long your airport transfer will be, that matters when flying internationally. Get confirmation on whether the crew can brief you in English and whether provisioning services are available, since managing supplies for 12 people requires planning.

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.
