Alboran Moscatel (Mallorca) (Oceanis 51.1)

Perfect for groups This 2024 Oceanis 51.1 is ideal if you're chartering with friends or family, five cabins and 12 berths mean everyone gets their own space, and the newer build quality is reassuring. It's a solid, well-equipped modern cruiser that handles mixed-ability crews comfortably.

Smart feature set You're getting the essentials: autopilot and chart plotter take the workload off, while radar and a sprayhood make coastal cruising more pleasant. The bimini and cockpit speakers add genuine comfort for longer days on the water, and lazy jacks simplify sail handling, practical touches that matter on a week-long charter.

Fair value proposition At €8,300/week for a five-cabin 2024 yacht, this sits in the mid-market range for the Balearics, not a bargain, but you're paying for newness and space. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, though do confirm what's included in that weekly rate (fuel, provisioning, etc.) before booking.

One honest note Alboran Charter has only two reviews on record, so the 4/5 rating doesn't tell you much yet. Before committing, reach out directly about their pre-charter support, handover process, and any hidden costs, newer operators can be excellent, but you want to verify their track record yourself.
