What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
15 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
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.

Where Charters Went
Yacht charter overnight stops in Rhodes
