Verdict
A compact, license-free day boat that suits short coastal outings and beginner skippers. It is practical and easy to run, but its small size and open layout limit comfort, storage and versatility compared with larger family cruisers.
Pros
- +Compact 15 ft footprint is easy to launch, berth and handle
- +30 hp setup is suitable for relaxed coastal cruising and short trips
- +Licensed capacity of 5 makes it workable for small groups
- +Simple open design keeps ownership and operation straightforward
Cons
- −Very limited comfort and livability for longer outings
- −No cabins or onboard bathrooms reduce all-day usability
- −Small size offers little storage and little weather protection
- −Not ideal for rough-water conditions or fast, extended cruising
The Olympic Speedboat 4.5cc is a small open motorboat built around simplicity rather than luxury. At about 15 feet, it follows the compact Greek rental-boats formula: easy to board, easy to operate, and sized for short coastal hops with a small group. Public listings for this model indicate a 2020 build, seating for up to 5 guests, and a 30 hp outboard setup, which places it firmly in the entry-level day-boat category.
On the water, the boat should feel light, responsive and beginner-friendly at modest speeds. That makes it well suited to calm-water cruising, tender-style use, fishing, or short island runs. Its small hull and low power mean it is not intended for high-speed performance or heavy chop, so handling is best judged by predictability and ease of control rather than outright capability.
Comfort is the main compromise. With no cabins, no bathrooms and no galley, livability is limited to open-deck seating and whatever shade or storage the specific charter fit-out provides. For a few hours on sheltered water, that is acceptable; for a full day, the lack of protection and amenities becomes more noticeable.
Value is fair if the goal is a low-complexity boat for occasional use. It is a sensible choice for first-time operators and small groups who want a simple, economical platform, but buyers or charter guests looking for more comfort, range or family-friendly features will quickly outgrow it.
