What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups Retsina is built for larger parties or families, 12 berths across 6 cabins give everyone their own space without feeling cramped. If you're chartering with friends or multi-generational crews, this layout is hard to beat.
Well-equipped modern boat A 2020 Oceanis 51.1 comes with practical essentials: autopilot, dual chart plotters, bow thruster for tight anchorages, air conditioning, and solar panels plus a generator for reliable power. The sprayhood and bimini mean you'll stay comfortable in variable Med weather.
Solid value proposition At 15.9m, you're getting a spacious, newly built monohull with serious creature comforts, air con, solar, inverter, at rates that undercut comparable catamarans in the Ionian. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size.
One note of caution Ionian Catamarans (the operator name suggests catamaran focus) has only 2 reviews, so track record is limited. Before booking, request references or clarify their monohull charter experience, you want to know their team knows this boat inside out, especially for a 12-berth voyage with a big group.
