What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples The RM 890 "Shore Line" is an excellent choice if you're two people looking for an intimate sailing escape, or a small family wanting something nimble and manageable. At 8.9m, she's compact enough to handle easily but spacious enough that you won't feel cramped over a week-long charter.
Smart practical kit You get genuinely useful features here, autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, the sprayhood keeps you dry in typical European sailing conditions, and the holding tank means you can cruise without constant shore visits. The included stand-up paddle is a nice bonus for exploring anchorages and shallow spots.
Reasonable value proposition At this size and vintage, the €3,000 deposit suggests competitive daily rates through Open Sail. For a 2024 build, the boat will be in excellent condition, which matters when you're investing time flying internationally to reach the charter base.
Location mystery remains We can't see the base location listed here, which is crucial, you'll want to confirm it's somewhere with decent airport connections and English-speaking support, especially if you're traveling from the UK or US. Once you have that detail from Open Sail, you'll know whether the logistics work for your trip.
