What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for cruising groups This 2018 Oceanis 38.1 is ideal if you're bringing friends or family for a week of relaxed sailing, three cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the layout works brilliantly for couples who want their own space without feeling cramped. It's a proven, modern design that's forgiving to sail and handle.
Well-equipped for comfort You get all the essentials: autopilot, chart plotter, heating for shoulder seasons, and a proper teak cockpit with both sprayhood and bimini for protection from the elements. The lazy bag is a genuine bonus that saves hassle when dropping the mainsail.
Solid value proposition At this size and specification, the €1,300 deposit is reasonable, and Ultra Sailing's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from only four reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained boats. You're looking at a straightforward, dependable charter without unnecessary frills.
One honest note The base location isn't listed in your specs, so I can't advise on airport proximity or connection logistics from major European or US hubs, definitely confirm that with Ultra Sailing before booking, especially if you're coordinating international flights for your group.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
