What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
11 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.
Perfect for groups. The Promise sleeps 12 across 6 cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long sail. At roughly €350 per person per week, this is genuinely good value for a 15.4m yacht with proper cruising gear.
Well-equipped vessel. Water maker, generator, solar panels, and bow thruster mean you're comfortable and self-sufficient, no daily marina hops needed, and tight anchorages become manageable. This 2015 Sun Odyssey is a proven, seaworthy platform that won't surprise you with hidden gremlins.
Solid operator backing. MG Yachts has a perfect 5-star rating, though only two reviews, so track record is limited but promising. The €4000 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size.
One practical note: With 12 berths, cabin configuration matters, confirm whether you're getting six proper doubles or a mix of singles and bunks, as comfort varies hugely on group charters. You'll want to clarify the exact base location and flight connections from your home airport before booking, since the base isn't listed here.
