What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples or small families wanting a modern, well-equipped cruiser without the complexity of larger yachts. The Oceanis 40.1 is a proven design with three cabins, making it comfortable for up to eight people, though realistically four to six work best for enjoying the space.
Standout features include solar panels and heating, genuinely useful for shoulder-season sailing in European waters, plus electric winches that reduce fatigue on longer passages. The bow thruster is a real asset when maneuvering in tight anchorages, and the included paddle board adds casual fun value for Caribbean or Mediterranean bases.
Strong value proposition. At €2,600 per week with a modest €1,600 deposit and 5-star operator feedback, this yacht offers solid bang for money in the modern cruising segment. You're paying for a recent build with new systems, which means fewer surprises mid-charter.
One honest note: At 12.4 metres, she's an international flight away from most UK and US bases, so factor in airport transfers and potential overnight stopovers, Ultra Sailing's location isn't specified here, so confirm how convenient the actual base is before booking.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
