Anax (Sun Odyssey 49i)

Solid mid-range cruiser The Sun Odyssey 49i is a well-proven design that suits families and mixed-ability groups wanting comfortable sailing without breaking the bank. At 15.1 metres with four cabins sleeping ten, you get genuine living space, rare at this price point.

Smart practical touches The spec sheet reads nicely: bow thruster, autopilot, and solar panels mean less faffing about, while the teak cockpit and bimini make time on deck genuinely pleasant. A dinghy, SUP board, and reasonable power plant (outboard engine) give you flexibility to explore anchorages and quieter bays.

Strong value proposition At €3,290 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this boat delivers solid comfort-to-cost ratio, perfect if you're flying in from the US or Europe and want to charter something that won't demand constant attention while you're learning the area. The 2006 build is mature enough to be reliable without feeling dated.

One gentle heads-up We've only got one five-star review on file, so this operator's track record is still quite limited, worth checking recent feedback before committing, and clarifying exactly where the base is located (it's not listed here), since that affects your arrival logistics considerably.
