What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
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.
Great family choice Silly Shark is a solid mid-size cruiser that suits groups of 6, 10 people, whether you're an experienced sailing family or a mixed-ability crew mixing sailors with non-sailors. The four-cabin layout and 10-berth capacity make it ideal for a week of relaxed cruising without feeling cramped.
Practical standout features You get genuine comfort here: a teak cockpit, bimini for sun protection, sprayhood for weather, and onboard speakers to set the mood. The autopilot and chart plotter mean less grinding and better navigation, while the dinghy opens up anchoring in shallow bays, those touches matter on a week-long charter.
Solid value proposition At 2009 vintage, this boat is well-maintained and sensibly equipped for bareboat cruising. The €3,200 deposit is reasonable, and NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews suggests a reliable, responsive operator, important when you're flying in from abroad.
One realistic note An outboard engine rather than an inboard means you'll hand-crank starts in variable conditions and less redundancy if something goes wrong, though it's typical for this size and age. Check your base location before booking, as that ferry time from the airport can vary wildly depending on where NSS operates.

Where Charters Went
Yacht charter overnight stops in Grenada and Carriacou
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Grenada and Carriacou during the 2025-26 winter 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.
