Tecla - Comfort line (Oceanis 40.1)

Ideal for families This 2022 Oceanis 40.1 is a brilliant choice for a group of 4, 8 wanting genuine sailing comfort without sacrificing space. The four cabins sleep eight easily, and the Comfort line trim means you're not roughing it, there's proper air-con, electric toilets, and a real galley setup.

Smart sailing features You get the essentials that make modern sailing relaxed: bow thruster for tight anchorages, electric winches so nobody's grinding themselves to exhaustion, autopilot for those longer passages, and a teak cockpit that feels like a proper boat, not a plastic toy. The chart plotter and dinghy round out a well-thought package.

Solid value proposition At 12.4 metres with four cabins, this hits a sweet spot between capacity and manageable handling, you're not wrestling a 50-footer. Spartivento's 4.8-star rating (14 reviews) suggests reliable maintenance and fair dealing, which matters when you're flying long-haul to pick up.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm airport transfer time and whether the operator offers provisioning or concierge services, those details matter a lot when you're coordinating arrival on a transatlantic flight.
