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.
Solid family cruiser The Oceanis 43 is a proven workhorse, built for comfort rather than speed, making it ideal for mixed-ability groups or families who want relaxed sailing without the learning curve of a high-performance boat. Four cabins sleeping ten means you're getting genuine value if you're splitting costs across a larger group.
Well-equipped basics You've got the essentials covered: chart plotter for navigation, sprayhood and bimini for weather protection, plus a dinghy for exploring anchorages and reaching shore. The radio-CD player suggests this operator thinks about creature comforts, not just getting you from A to B.
Genuinely keen pricing At €3,300 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this sits at the friendlier end of the market for a four-cabin cruiser, especially useful if you're factoring in transatlantic flights to reach the base. That said, you'll want to confirm where ECC's base actually is, as that detail isn't listed here and makes a big difference for flight logistics.
One heads-up The 2009 build date isn't a dealbreaker for a sturdy Oceanis, but do ask ECC directly about recent refits or systems upgrades when you enquire, particularly the electrics and plumbing, which take real use over fifteen years.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: Portocolom, 23% of trips
Here is where charter yachts tracked by AIS spent their nights on round trips from Palma and south-west Mallorca during the 2026 season so far. The heat map brings those recorded overnight stops together so you can compare past activity with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Portocolom appeared on 23% of trips, Tramontana on 21% and Es Trenc on 20%. Es Trenc was the most common first night at 12%, while Club Nàutic Sa Ràpita led last nights at 7%. The furthest straight-line point from base was 20 to 40 nm on 59% of trips, with 26% reaching over 60 nm.
