What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Who it suits Athena works brilliantly for small groups or families of 4, 6 wanting genuine sailing without breaking the bank. At 14.1 metres with three cabins, she's intimate enough to feel personal but spacious enough that you won't feel cramped.
Standout features The teak deck, water maker, and solar panels show real thought for longer cruises, you'll have fresh water and power independence that matter in remote anchorages. Throw in a dinghy, snorkeling kit, and autopilot, and you've got everything for a proper self-sufficient week without unnecessary frills.
Value for money At €7,310 per week with a modest €4,000 deposit, this is genuinely fair pricing for a well-equipped 2019 boat in this size bracket. You're paying for capability, not flashiness, which appeals to sailors who actually want to *sail* rather than float.
One honest note We don't have the base location listed here, which matters for your flight logistics and what you'll actually encounter, Mediterranean village calm plays very differently from busy charter hubs. Drop us a line and we'll fill in those gaps before you decide.
