What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for couples This 2024 Sessa is ideal if you're two people wanting a modern, hassle-free getaway without the commitment of a larger vessel. At 8.6 metres, she's compact and easy to handle, yet still feels current and well-equipped.
Smart design choice Being a motor boat rather than a sailer means minimal learning curve and maximum flexibility with your itinerary, no waiting for wind or fighting schedules. The single cabin sleeps two comfortably, and for a brand-new build, you're getting reliable, low-maintenance performance.
Strong value proposition At €2,700 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, this punches well above its weight for a 2024 model in that size range. You're paying for simplicity and peace of mind rather than luxury, which suits couples who'd rather explore than manage a floating hotel.
One practical note You'll want to confirm the charter base location with Heads Yachting, the listing doesn't specify where she's based, which matters significantly for your long-haul flight and transfer logistics from your arrival airport. Once you know the location, check how international-friendly the staff and local support are, especially if this is your first motor boat experience.
