Who This Suits. SUN RISE II works well for larger groups wanting bareboat sailing in the Aegean; seven cabins sleep up to 12, so families or friends can split costs comfortably. This boat appeals to sailors confident handling a 47-footer without a professional skipper.
What Stands Out. A 2021 build means modern systems and minimal wear; the Nea Peramos base near Athens is convenient for international arrivals, with airport transfers straightforward from Athens International. At under EUR 3,000 per week, the pricing is competitive for a new seven-cabin sailboat in Greek waters.
Value For Money. The zero deposit is genuinely helpful for charter groups managing upfront costs, and you're renting recent equipment rather than an older vessel. Charter rates in the Aegean for this size and cabin count are fair, particularly if your group fills most berths.
One Honest Caveat. We can't see the detailed equipment list from your data, so confirm what's included (autopilot, generator, air-con, safety gear, water toys) before booking; a seven-cabin boat's comfort depends heavily on galley and head facilities, which aren't specified here. Chat directly with Y Knot Yachting about what's standard and whether you need extras.
