What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples or small groups. The Oceanis 38.1 is an excellent mid-sized cruiser that handles three cabins and up to 8 berths, making it ideal for two families or a group of friends wanting a manageable, comfortable boat without going massive.
Thoughtful modern touches. Solar panels, electric toilet, autopilot, and a cockpit chart plotter make this 2018 build feel contemporary and genuinely user-friendly for both experienced sailors and those with lighter credentials. The bimini and sprayhood are huge quality-of-life upgrades for longer passages or sun-heavy destinations.
Strong value proposition. The €1,500 deposit is refreshingly reasonable, and Waypoint's 4.7/5 rating (though based on just 3 reviews) suggests solid reliability, always a good sign for an operator handling a boat this size and specification.
One honest note: The base location isn't listed here, so I can't comment on airport logistics or how convenient it is for transatlantic or European flyers. Before booking, check the exact charter base and flight connections, that'll make or break the trip logistics for international clients.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: ACI Korčula, 29% of trips
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Dubrovnik, Mljet and Ploče during the 2026 season so far. 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.
Uvala Pomena appeared on 29% of trips, Luka Polače on 24% and Uvala Vela Saplunara on 20%. Uvala pod Trpezicom was the most common first night at 13% and last night at 12%. The furthest straight-line point from base was 40 to 60 nm on 61% of trips.
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 Dubrovnik, Mljet and Ploče for this type of boat.
