Bareboat Charter - Crew of 2 from Germany - 2 weeks from Volos in June 2023
Dear Philip,
Of course, I will send a picture of our last night at Skopelos.
I did rent the yacht just for me and my wife. Philip did give me a great support at the front end. That’s why I think it is worth to write for him my opinion for this yacht. I decide for this Oceanis 38.1 because of these circumstances:
I'm very tall and do not want to duck my head for two weeks. This yacht has a salon taller than 2 meters. We are both over 60 and appreciate more space and a soft bed. The space was okay and we have had air beds in our baggage, because all yachts have not really soft beds. When 2 people rent a big yacht which is designed for 6 the price is important. All in all, I was happy with the offer.
I know the younger version of this yacht from other trips, but this yacht is really okay. I did expect that such old lady is noisy during the night, but it was perfect. The sail was in a very good condition and everything else also. Of course, some small problems we had with some details, but every yacht has these issues when it is on charter some times. I know newer models have thrusters and solar panels and so on, but for these things I was not willing to pay 1000 EUR and up for this trip. In this area the need for a thruster is low because the space in these harbors is big enough. The battery of this yacht was very okay and we need no solar panel. I could criticize a few things, but I had one of my best sailing trips. I would go again with this yacht. The best time was the first half of June.
Regards
Axel
