Telchinis (Sun Odyssey 409)

Ideal for groups This 12.3m Sun Odyssey suits families or small groups of four to eight people looking for a comfortable, proven cruiser without breaking the bank. The three-cabin layout offers decent privacy, and at €2,700 per week, it's genuinely competitive for a boat of this capability.

Solid cruising kit Telchinis comes well-equipped for confident sailing: autopilot, chart plotter, bow thruster, and solar panels mean you'll have modern conveniences and real-world ease-of-use. The bimini and sprayhood are particularly welcome for extended time on deck, and that swimming platform transforms anchorages into proper relaxation spots.

Good value proposition You're getting a 2011 boat that's been actively chartered, which means proven reliability and regular maintenance, not a bargain basement vessel left to rot. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and at this price point with eight berths available, your per-person cost drops quickly for groups.

One practical note Paralos Yachts has a solid 4.2/5 rating, though only five reviews logged, worth asking them directly about recent engine work and condition reports before committing, especially if you're flying in from abroad and can't inspect beforehand.
