Artemis (Oceanis Clipper 411)

Perfect for groups The Oceanis 411 is a solid choice for four couples or a family wanting genuine sailing without breaking the bank. At 13 metres with four cabins and room for eight, she's comfortable for shared charters without feeling cramped.

Well-equipped essentials This boat ticks the practical boxes, solar panels and inverter mean quieter, greener cruising, while the bimini and sprayhood keep you comfortable in variable conditions. The swimming platform, snorkeling gear, and dinghy with outboard give you genuine flexibility for exploring anchorages and shallow bays.

Honest value question At €2,900 per week, you're looking at around €360, €450 per person for a week's bare-boat sailing, which is reasonable for a 23-year-old Beneteau in this cabin configuration. However, we'd need to know the charter base location to properly assess whether travel logistics and seasonal rates represent real value for your flight investment.

Age matters here This 2001 model is well-maintained, but older sails and systems do require realistic expectations, you're chartering an experienced cruiser's boat, not a pristine newer vessel. Budget carefully for potential mechanical surprises and factor in whether you're comfortable troubleshooting basics underway.
