Alfa (Oceanis 45)

Great mid-size choice The Oceanis 45 is a solid, well-established cruising platform that suits families and small groups wanting comfortable sailing without complexity. At 13.8 metres with four cabins and space for eight, it balances liveable accommodation with manageable handling for mixed-ability crews.

Smart practical features You're getting genuinely useful kit here: bow thruster makes tight anchorages and marina entries far less stressful, solar panels help extend your independence, and the chart plotter in the cockpit beats below-deck navigation on a charter. The sprayhood and bimini mean you're not cooking in the sun or getting soaked underway, proper comfort touches for a two-week trip.

Excellent value proposition At €2,310 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this is honest pricing for a 2016 boat with decent spec. You're paying for a proven design that charters well, not premium positioning, which makes it genuinely competitive for international clients flying in from the US or further afield.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the base location, you'll want to confirm that with Sailorsbreeze before booking, especially if you're coordinating long-haul flights or need to factor in airport transfers. Knowing whether it's Mediterranean, Caribbean, or elsewhere makes a real difference to your planning.
