About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for families The Oceanis 51.1 is an excellent choice for multi-generational groups or two families wanting comfortable, spacious sailing. With 6 cabins and 11 berths, everyone gets their own bunk, and the 2024 build means everything is modern and reliable.
Standout comfort features Solar panels, electric toilets, and a full galley setup keep life onboard easy and hassle-free. The bow thruster and autopilot take stress out of maneuvering and long passages, while cockpit cushions and a bimini canopy make time on deck genuinely pleasant, essential when you're crossing time zones to get here.
Solid value proposition A zero deposit is refreshing, and Istion Yachting's perfect 5-star rating suggests you're in safe, professional hands. For a brand-new, well-equipped six-cabin yacht, pricing looks fair relative to the market.
One realistic note We don't have the base location listed, so check whether it's easily accessible from major European or transatlantic hubs, that'll affect your total trip planning and jet lag recovery time before you cast off.

The marina & destination
Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Eli is operated by Istion Yachting.
Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.
