What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 389 is a proven, comfortable cruiser that sleeps 8 across 3 cabins, ideal for families or small groups wanting straightforward sailing without complexity. At 11.8m, she's manageable for confident intermediates while still offering proper living space.
Well-equipped and comfortable This 2019 boat ticks all the boxes: air conditioning, autopilot, chart plotter, bow thruster, and a swimming platform make bareboat charter genuinely relaxing. The sprayhood and bimini keep you shaded and dry, while the dinghy opens up anchorages beyond the main base.
Strong value proposition Candor Charter has a perfect 5-star rating, and the €1000 deposit is reasonable. You're getting a modern, reliable platform with solid kit at what should be competitive rates for this size and build year.
Check the base location The charter base isn't shown in the listing, so before booking confirm where she's moored, it'll affect your travel logistics from the airport and what sailing ground you'll actually cover. A quick email to Candor will sort that straight away.

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.
