What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups The Oceanis 51.1 "Shine" is an excellent choice if you're chartering with a larger family or friends, six cabins sleeping up to 12 makes it one of the roomier options in this size range. You'll have genuine privacy and comfort rather than everyone crammed into tight quarters.
Smart modern touches The 2019 build means you get genuinely useful kit: solar panels reduce generator noise and fuel costs, while the electric toilet and sprayhood are quality-of-life upgrades that make cruising more comfortable. Autopilot is essential on a 51-footer, and this yacht has it sorted.
Strong value proposition At €4,443 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a six-cabin cruiser in decent nick. Tsirigotis appears to be a solid Greek operator, though the single 4/5 review doesn't give you much to go on, worth asking them directly about recent guest feedback.
One heads-up We don't have the charter base location in the data, so before booking you'll want to confirm flight times from your home airport and whether transfers are straightforward. Some Greek bases involve longer drives than others, which matters when you're flying long-haul.
