Aliki (Sun Odyssey 439)

Ideal for relaxed crews The Sun Odyssey 439 suits groups of 4, 8 who want comfortable cruising without constant fiddling with the boat. At 13.3 metres, she's spacious enough for four cabins and sleeps up to 10, making her a solid choice for families or friends splitting costs across a week.

Well-equipped and thoughtful Solar panels, autopilot, electric winches, and a bow thruster make sailing easier, especially valuable if your crew includes less experienced sailors or anyone keen to avoid heavy physical work. The teak cockpit, sprayhood, and bimini also mean you'll stay comfortable in sun or spray, and the dinghy opens up remote anchorages.

Strong value proposition At €3,179 per week with a modest €600 deposit, this 2015 boat offers genuine mid-range pricing for a four-cabin cruiser. Spread across a crew of six, that's roughly €530 per person per week, realistic money for a proper sailing holiday in the Med or Atlantic islands.

Check your base location first The operator (NorthSailing) is listed, but the charter base location isn't shown in your details, so confirm flight connections and transfer time before booking, crucial if you're flying long-haul from the US or Europe. A 90-minute airport transfer could eat into your first day, so factor that into your holiday plan.
