SailChecker note

22 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.

Solid mid-range cruiser The Oceanis 393 is a proven family workhorse that suits couples, small families, or friends wanting straightforward sailing without cutting corners. At 11.9 metres with three cabins sleeping six, you get comfortable space for a week-long escape without the complexity of a larger vessel.

Practical, well-equipped This boat comes sensibly fitted: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, solar panels help with power independence, and the swimming platform with bimini makes lounging between sailing genuinely pleasant. A dinghy is included, which matters if your base isn't walking distance from restaurants and shops.

Excellent value proposition At €1,700 per week all-in, this is genuinely competitive pricing for a three-cabin sailboat that's ready to go, deposit and charter fee are the same figure, keeping admin simple. You're getting a 2004-build with sensible equipment, not a bargain-basement surprise.

One practical note The base location isn't listed in your data, so check transfer times from the nearest airport before booking; many Dolphin Yachts bases are Greek or Turkish, which typically means 1, 3 hours' drive from major hubs. Confirm whether staff speak English fluently, especially if you're keen on briefing clarity before departure.
