What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
17 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Perfect family choice The Oceanis 43 is a proven cruiser that suits families and small groups equally well, four cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the 2009 build combines reliability with modern sailing credentials. At 13.1 metres, she's manageable for confident intermediate sailors without feeling cramped.
Thoughtful kit included Beluga arrives rigged for real-world cruising: bow thruster takes the fuss out of tight anchorages, solar panels mean less engine hours, and the bimini plus sprayhood keep sun and spray at bay. Snorkeling gear is onboard, which sweetens a bareboat deal.
Solid value proposition At €2,100 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this represents fair-to-good pricing for a four-cabin charter in the 40-foot range. You're paying for a tried-and-tested platform rather than cutting-edge luxury, which suits practical-minded sailors.
One heads caveat Four cabins on a 43-footer means at least one cabin will be snug, likely the forward V-berth. If all eight berths will be filled with tall guests, confirm sleeping arrangements with Anemos Yachting before committing. The boat delivers value, but don't expect sprawling private quarters for everyone.
