What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
12 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 mid-range cruiser The Oceanis 45 is a proven, comfortable platform that suits families and small groups wanting reliable sailing without breaking the bank. At 13.8m with four cabins sleeping eight, it punches above its weight for value, €2,790/week is genuinely competitive for this size and spec.
Smart practical touches The autopilot, electric toilet, and solar panels show an owner who thinks about cruising comfort and independence. The sprayhood keeps the helm watchkeeper dry on longer passages, which matters more than it sounds on a week-long charter.
Fair pricing overall With a modest €3,000 deposit and weekly rates in the affordable range, this yacht represents honest value for bareboat or skippered sailing in the Mediterranean or beyond. You're getting a 2014 boat that's well-equipped, not cutting corners on the essentials.
One note on confidence The operator has just one review (4/5 stars), so there's limited track record to assess customer service or boat maintenance standards. Before committing, it's worth asking Tsirigotis directly about their handover process, recent service history, and backup support, especially important when flying internationally to collect a charter.
