AF-O40.1R (Oceanis 40.1)

Ideal for couples & small groups This 2022 Oceanis 40.1 suits four adults comfortably, or families with teenagers who don't mind sharing cabins. It's a modern, well-equipped cruiser that handles well for both experienced sailors and confident intermediates.

Solid cruising credentials You get the essentials here: bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar and dual chart plotters for confident navigation, autopilot for easier passage-making, and a swimming platform that justifies those long-haul flights. The electric toilet and decent galley (coffee maker, fridge) mean reasonable onboard comfort, no roughing it.

Good value proposition At €3,570/week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this boat sits in the sweet spot for modern bareboat chartering. You're paying for a recent build with solid electronics, not premium-brand luxury, which is honest pricing for what you get.

One caveat worth noting AF Yachting's rating is solid (4.3/5) but based on only three reviews, a small sample size. Before booking long-haul, confirm their English-speaking support and get clarity on their exact base location and airport transfer arrangements, since the charter listing doesn't specify where you'll actually collect the yacht.
