Karma (Oceanis 40.1 (3cab))

Perfect entry point The 2023 Oceanis 40.1 "Karma" is an excellent choice if you're new to sailing or chartering with a group wanting comfort without complexity. This Beneteau is known for being forgiving and spacious, you'll find the three-cabin layout genuinely livable for a week, even with eight aboard.

Well-equipped modern boat You're getting genuinely useful kit here: bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of tight anchorages and long passages, while the sprayhood and bimini keep you shaded and dry. The electric toilet and chart plotter are standard comfort features that make the experience less about roughing it and more about actually enjoying yourselves.

Solid value proposition At €2,800 deposit with a 4.3-star operator rating (10 reviews), NSS Charter appears reliable and the boat itself is nearly brand new. For a modern, well-maintained 40-footer in a reasonable condition, this sits in the honest middle ground, not a bargain, but fair pricing for what you're getting.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, which matters hugely when you're flying internationally to pick up. Before booking, confirm the airport transfer time and whether NSS arranges it, some bases are 90 minutes from the nearest hub, which adds real friction to long-haul logistics.
