SailChecker Expert View
Solid mid-range choice The Sun Odyssey 389 is a proven, well-built cruiser that punches above its weight for families and small groups exploring Mediterranean or Atlantic bases. At 11.8m with three cabins, it sleeps six comfortably without feeling cramped, ideal if you're splitting costs among friends or bringing kids.
Well-equipped for comfort You get the essentials done right: autopilot for long passages, a proper galley fridge, bimini for sun protection, and a dinghy with outboard for exploring anchorages. The 2020 build year means systems should be reliable, and the cockpit speakers suggest the owner understands that cruising is about enjoying the experience, not just getting from A to B.
Honest value proposition At €2,300 per week, you're looking at roughly €380 per person for six of you, genuinely competitive for a modern, three-cabin boat in established charter regions. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable and typical for this size and age.
One practical note The listing doesn't specify the base location, so you'll need to confirm where "Algol" actually sits before booking flights and transfers, that makes a real difference to your overall trip logistics and what you can realistically explore in a week.

The marina & destination
Based at Le Marin, in Martinique, Martinique. Algol is operated by A&C Yacht Charter.
Le Marin sits on Martinique's south coast and serves as the perfect launch point for exploring the southern Caribbean's best-protected anchorages; you can reach Diamond Rock, the Grenadines, and St. Lucia's pitons within 2-3 days of sailing. The trade winds blow consistently from the east, making week one ideal for island-hopping down to Bequia and Mustique before stronger winds develop mid-week. The marina itself offers good facilities and provisioning, with most charter yachts departing here to take advantage of the sheltered Windward Islands passage to the south.
