What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
10 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 for families This 2016 Oceanis 45 is an excellent choice for groups of up to 10 people wanting a comfortable, well-equipped sailing experience in Majorca. The four-cabin layout offers decent privacy, and the solid spec, autopilot, chart plotter, solar panels, lazy jack, means less stress managing the boat and more time enjoying the Balearic islands.
Standout practical features The bimini and sprayhood keep you protected from Mediterranean sun, while the teak deck feels premium underfoot. Solar panels help with power management during long anchorages, and the dinghy makes exploring smaller coves hassle-free, genuine quality-of-life upgrades that matter on a week-long charter.
Solid value proposition At this size and age with four cabins, you're getting genuine week-long capability without paying superyacht rates. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and Alboran Charter's 4/5 rating suggests dependable service, though the limited review count means limited track record to verify.
One honest note With only two operator reviews on record, you're taking a bit of a leap of faith compared to brokers with dozens of feedback entries. I'd recommend directly contacting Alboran to ask about their handover process, damage protocols, and support during your charter, it'll help you feel confident before committing.
