What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families This 2023 Sun Odyssey 490 is a solid choice for a group of four to six sailors wanting comfort without compromise. The four-cabin layout sleeps up to 10, so families or friends get plenty of space, and the modern build means you're not dealing with tired systems.
Well-equipped modern sailer You get the essentials that make a week easy: autopilot (listed twice, which suggests the operator really values it), solar panels for extended cruising, and useful touches like a sprayhood and bimini for weather protection. The chart plotter in the cockpit is handy for navigation without constantly heading below.
Decent value proposition At around €4,941 per week, this feels fairly priced for a new-build 13.4-metre with four cabins in what appears to be a Mediterranean base. The €2,500 deposit is standard. You're paying for a contemporary yacht that won't nickel-and-dime you with repairs mid-charter.
One honest note The operator has only two reviews and a 4/5 rating, not a red flag, but not a track record either. Before booking, ask for references or check recent guest feedback directly. Given you're likely flying long-haul to reach this base, you'll want confidence in the handover and support team from day one.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: Portocolom, 23% of trips
Here is where charter yachts tracked by AIS spent their nights on round trips from Palma and south-west Mallorca during the 2026 season so far. The heat map brings those recorded overnight stops together so you can compare past activity with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Portocolom appeared on 23% of trips, Tramontana on 21% and Es Trenc on 20%. Es Trenc was the most common first night at 12%, while Club Nàutic Sa Ràpita led last nights at 7%. The furthest straight-line point from base was 20 to 40 nm on 59% of trips, with 26% reaching over 60 nm.
