What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples or small groups This 2024 Oceanis 40.1 suits 2, 4 people beautifully, though it can sleep eight if you're willing to pack in. The newer build means everything works properly, and the three-cabin layout gives everyone decent privacy without feeling cramped on a week-long charter.
Well-equipped modern cruiser Solar panels, bow thruster, autopilot, and in-cockpit chart plotter show real thoughtfulness for bareboat sailing, you're not wrestling with ancient kit. The snorkeling gear and bimini are genuine bonuses for Greek island cruising, and the dinghy opens up secluded anchorages that larger boats can't reach.
Solid value proposition At €2,920 per week plus a €2,500 deposit, you're looking at fair pricing for a brand-new boat in the Mediterranean. The equipment list punches above its weight, so you're not nickel-and-dimed with extras once you're aboard.
One practical note The base location isn't specified in the details, which matters if you're flying long-haul, you'll want to confirm airport transfer times and whether it's Rhodes town or a quieter anchorage elsewhere. Get that clarified with Yachtcharter-Rhodes before booking your flights.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: Symi, 80% of trips
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Rhodes during the 2025 season. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Symi was the most common first night out, at 60% of trips with a recorded first night. On 43% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 20 to 40 nm, measured in a straight line.
