What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Built for families The Excalibur is a solid choice if you're traveling with extended family or two couples, four cabins and eight berths give everyone their own space without breaking the bank. At 12 metres, it's compact enough to handle easily but roomy enough that you won't feel cramped.
Comfort and convenience This 2023 motor yacht includes genuinely useful kit: a flybridge for socialising topside, bow thruster for tight marina manoeuvres, and heating for shoulder-season charters. The bimini and electric winches suggest the operator knows what makes boating relaxing rather than stressful.
Excellent value proposition At €2,243 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, you're looking at affordable bareboat or skippered rates for a modern, well-equipped vessel. That's competitive for a recent build with this cabin configuration.
One note of caution The operator has only one review on record, so you won't have much owner feedback to lean on yet. We'd recommend contacting Charter 4 Fun directly to ask about their maintenance schedule and get a feel for how they handle bookings and support, it's worth a quick conversation before committing, especially if you're flying internationally to reach the base.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
