What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families This 2019 Sun Odyssey 490 is a solid choice for groups of up to 10 looking to explore Greece without breaking the bank. The four-cabin layout gives everyone reasonable privacy, and Athenian Yachts' perfect 5-star rating (8 reviews) suggests you'll get well-maintained boat and attentive service.
Well-equipped all-rounder You get the essentials that matter: bow thruster and autopilot take pressure off helming, the bimini and sprayhood keep sun and spray at bay, and snorkeling gear is included, perfect for Greek island hopping. Lazy jack and convertible table are thoughtful touches that make life onboard easier.
Strong value proposition At €4,376 per week with only a €700 deposit, this represents genuine value for a modern, fully-equipped four-cabin boat in the Mediterranean. You're paying for a reliable platform to sail, not for flashy extras.
One practical note The charter base location isn't specified here, so confirm airport proximity when you book, Athens takes 1-2 hours from the airport depending on the base, which matters when you're flying from the US or UK and want to minimize ground time before getting on the water.
