Achilles (Sun Odyssey 509)

Perfect for groups With 5 cabins and 10 berths, Achilles is genuinely well-suited to larger family gatherings or groups of friends wanting to split costs , you'll get proper private sleeping space without cramping everyone into a floating shoebox. The 2015 build age means she's modern enough to have the comforts that matter, without excessive wear.

Smart comfort kit Solar panels, an inverter, Wi-Fi, and a bow thruster make life easier on longer cruises and when maneuvering in tight anchorages , less faffing about, more actually enjoying yourself. The electric toilet and decent refrigeration are genuinely useful touches for a 15-meter yacht.

Good value proposition At €3,000 deposit with Olympic Yachting running the show (solid 5-star rating, though only one review logged), you're looking at a reasonably equipped, spacious cruiser that should deliver decent bang-for-buck, especially if your group can fill those 10 berths. The cost per person drops significantly when divided across a bigger crew.

One real limitation The charter base location isn't listed here, which matters hugely for international travelers , you'll want to confirm how straightforward airport access is and whether flights connect easily to wherever Achilles is moored. Get that detail locked down before committing.
