What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
Ideal for small groups Aurelia suits families or groups of four to six looking for a comfortable, modern cruising yacht without excessive size or complexity. The three-cabin layout works well for couples or friends wanting private sleeping quarters, and the 2022 build means everything is fresh and reliable.
Smart modern touches Solar panels and a refrigerator are genuinely useful for extended cruising, while the Bimini top keeps sun exposure manageable during hot Mediterranean sailing. The outboard engine simplifies maintenance and gives you easy manoeuvrability in tight anchorages, practical for exploring the Dalmatian coast around Dubrovnik.
Strong value proposition At 12.4 metres, this Oceanis offers genuine comfort without premium pricing; you're getting a well-equipped, recent model from a reputable builder. The modest €1,300 deposit signals accessible pricing for charter brokers' typical client base.
One small caveat The operator has only one review on record, so limited independent feedback exists yet. That said, Dubrovnik Yachting operates from a major charter hub with excellent airport connections (typically 30, 45 minutes from Split), making logistics straightforward for international clients.
