What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
11 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect family cruiser. The Oceanis 35 is an ideal choice for families or small groups wanting a comfortable, manageable sailing experience. At 10 metres with 3 cabins and 6 berths, it strikes a great balance between spaciousness and ease of handling, you won't need a huge crew or extensive sailing experience.
Well-equipped and thought-through. This boat comes with genuinely useful kit: lazy jacks and lazy bag make sail handling simpler, a sprayhood and bimini keep you protected from the elements, and solar panels plus electric toilet show someone's considered comfort and sustainability. The chart plotter, autopilot, and snorkeling gear round out a sensible package for a week's cruising.
Excellent value proposition. At €2,295 per week with zero deposit required and a 5/5 operator rating, you're looking at strong pricing for a 9-year-old boat in this class. Istion Yachting's perfect review score suggests reliable boats and professional service, which matters when you're flying internationally to collect it.
One practical note: The base location isn't listed in your data, so do confirm the airport transfer time and flight connections, that'll affect your overall trip logistics from the UK or US significantly more than the boat's capabilities will.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: Leros, 55% of trips
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Kos and the north Dodecanese during the 2025 season. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Kalymnos was the most common first night out, at 29% of trips with a recorded first night. On 55% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 40 to 60 nm, measured in a straight line.
Use the recorded stops as a starting point for your charter plans. The full map gives you more to compare, and you can ask us about a route from Kos and the north Dodecanese for this type of boat.
