About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Who it suits Aldebaran is ideal for larger groups or multi-family charters wanting genuine sailing comfort without breaking the bank. At 15.4m with five cabins and ten berths, you've got real space to spread out, and the 2012 Sun Odyssey 509 is a proven, well-designed cruiser that handles beautifully.
Standout features The kit here is genuinely thoughtful: bow thruster and autopilot make handling easier for mixed-ability crews, solar panels plus generator mean you won't fret about power, and air conditioning is a genuine comfort factor on longer passages. Extras like the cockpit barbecue, TV, and decent entertainment setup suggest an operator who understands what charter groups actually want.
Value for money At €4,400 per week, this represents solid value for a five-cabin yacht in this size bracket, you're paying for genuine comfort and reliability rather than premium positioning. The modest €2,500 deposit is refreshingly reasonable.
Fair caveat The operator has only one review posted, so while the 5/5 rating is encouraging, there's limited track record to assess consistency. It's worth reaching out directly to Salty Breeze about their maintenance schedule and asking for references from recent charters before committing.

The marina & destination
Based at Kavala, in Kavala, Greece. Aldebaran is operated by Salty Breeze.
Kavala's marina sits in northern Greece with straightforward access to the Sporades islands; week one typically involves sailing south to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos, with steady northerly winds making for reliable beam reaches. The protected waters around these islands suit mixed ability crews, and you can anchor in numerous quiet bays before returning to base or pushing further toward the Pelion coast. Note that July and August winds can be strong, so spring and autumn offer more forgiving conditions for exploring this less-crowded corner of the Aegean.
