What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples or small groups This 2024 Oceanis 37.1 is an excellent choice if you're after a modern, comfortable cruising yacht without sacrificing ease of handling. The three-cabin layout works well for two couples or a family of four to six, with enough privacy and comfort for a relaxed week exploring Mediterranean or Atlantic coastlines.
Smart modern cruising kit You're getting genuinely useful equipment here, solar panels and an inverter mean you can anchor quietly without running the engine constantly, while the bow thruster makes single-handed mooring straightforward. The sprayhood and bimini are proper quality-of-life additions for longer passages, and the autopilot takes the strain out of day sailing.
Solid value proposition At this size and specification, the €2,500 deposit suggests competitive pricing for a 2024 yacht. Blue Memories' perfect 5-star rating across seven reviews is genuinely impressive and suggests reliable service, proper pre-charter briefing, and well-maintained equipment, worth its weight given the long-haul travel most clients undertake to reach the base.
One practical note The base location isn't specified here, so confirm exactly where you'd be flying into and whether airport transfers are included or nearby. Depending on the charter zone, the 12-metre length is manageable for most sailors but does require basic boat-handling confidence for the mooring manoeuvres where that bow thruster really earns its keep.
