What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples This 2023 Merry Fisher is an excellent choice if you're two people wanting comfort without complexity, or a small family after an easygoing motorboat break. The newer build quality and teak cockpit give it real character at this size.
Smart day-boat design You get a bow thruster for tight marina work, a full galley with fridge, and two proper cabins, genuinely useful for an 8.7-metre boat. The open cockpit is where you'll spend your time, and it's well-appointed without feeling cramped.
Good value proposition At this length and age, the €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and running costs on a modern motor cruiser like this stay manageable. You're paying for reliability and a recent hull, which matters on a charter boat.
One realistic note With five berths across two cabins, sleeping arrangements get cosy if you're actually using all five spaces, this works best with younger kids or genuinely friendly groups. Also, confirm your charter base location and airport transfers with Italiamare; the operator's base details aren't shown here, so factor in travel time from your arrival airport.
