Angelica (Oceanis 34.1)

Perfect starter choice Angelica suits couples or small families new to sailing, that 2023 Oceanis 34.1 is forgiving to handle with solid build quality and modern kit. The three-cabin layout sleeps six comfortably, making it ideal for one or two families sharing costs on a week away.

What stands out You've got the essentials that make bareboat easier: bow thruster takes the hassle out of tight anchorages, autopilot means less fatigue on longer passages, and the teak cockpit with bimini keeps you shaded and comfortable. The chart plotter and dinghy are both included, so you're ready to explore without surprises.

Solid value proposition At 10.8 metres with a modest €2,500 deposit, this boat won't break the bank, great if you're flying from the US or Europe and want to keep total charter spend reasonable. NSS Charter's 4.3-star rating across 10 reviews suggests reliable service and decent maintenance standards.

One honest note The operator pool is small (only 10 reviews recorded), so less feedback to draw from than some competitors. Worth checking directly with NSS about their base location and whether airport transfers are straightforward from your nearest international hub.
