Forkys (Oceanis 51.1)

Perfect for groups This 2023 Oceanis 51.1 is genuinely excellent for larger parties or multi-family charters , six cabins sleeping 12 means everyone gets reasonable private space without cramped compromises. The modern build and comprehensive kit (autopilot, bow thruster, solar panels, dinghy included) tells you this is a well-thought-out charter yacht, not an afterthought.

Smart standard spec Solar panels plus inverter is a thoughtful touch for extended cruising, and the bow thruster removes real stress when maneuvering in tight anchorages or marinas. Bimini and cockpit cushions come as standard, which saves you money and confirms the operator takes comfort seriously.

Value proposition At €4000 deposit with a 5-star rating (albeit from a small sample), this sits in a competitive mid-sized bracket for the Ionian Islands , you're paying for newness, capacity, and operational reliability rather than luxury premium pricing. That's fair value if your group size justifies the cabin count.

One honest note The operator rating is excellent but based on only two reviews, so it's early data , worth requesting recent client references or testimonials before committing. Beyond that, check your exact charter dates and confirm whether the base location works with your flight connections from the UK or US.
