Zosma (Oceanis 38.1)

Ideal for couples or small families. The Oceanis 38.1 is a proven cruiser that handles three cabins and up to eight berths, making it perfect for two couples or a family of four wanting comfortable personal space without excess size.

Well-equipped and practical. You're getting serious cruising kit here, bow thruster for easy berthing, autopilot for longer passages, electric toilet, and a sprayhood to keep the cockpit dry. The teak cockpit and bimini add genuine comfort, while the dinghy opens up quieter anchorages away from busy marinas.

Solid value proposition. A 2019 boat with this specification, plus respectable gear across the board, at a deposit of €2,500 suggests sensible charter pricing for a mid-range cruiser. NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews is reassuring but based on a modest review sample, so worth reading a few comments before committing.

One realistic note: At 11.5 metres, she's manageable for two confident sailors, though eight berths means she'll feel snug if fully crewed, cabin and galley space isn't luxurious. If you're flying long-haul from North America or Australia, confirm the base location and airport transfer logistics upfront, as those details weren't listed here.
