- −Value depends heavily on charter season and itinerary
Son de Mar is a 2019, roughly 45-meter Croatian motor-sailing yacht built for the charter market, and its design clearly prioritizes volume, social space and guest comfort over sporty lines or high-speed passages. The layout is practical for group cruising, with six cabins and accommodation for 12 guests, which is a strong fit for family trips or mixed-age private charters.
On the water, this is a yacht built for steady, easy cruising rather than performance. Publicly listed information points to a cruising speed around 9 knots, so the experience is likely to be smooth and unhurried, with handling managed by a professional crew rather than by nimble owner-operator feel. That makes it dependable for itineraries where comfort and range of onboard amenities matter more than fast passage times.
Livability is one of Son de Mar’s biggest strengths. The cabin count, guest capacity and generous deck areas make it suitable for longer stays aboard, and the charter-focused fit-out typically seen on yachts of this type supports extended social cruising. In value terms, it sits in the premium charter segment: the appeal comes from size, layout and crewed experience rather than from performance credentials or especially aggressive pricing.
