Maitai is a 2023 Sun Odyssey 380 based in Nieuwpoort, Belgium—a charming coastal town that opens directly onto the North Sea and serves as your gateway to the Flemish coast and beyond. This 11.75-metre sailing yacht combines modern design with practical comfort, making it an ideal choice for groups of up to eight people seeking a week of genuine seafaring adventure without the complexity of larger vessels.

The yacht's three cabins sleep eight guests across a thoughtfully laid-out interior, with a single head keeping things straightforward for groups and families. A bow thruster makes maneuvering in tight anchorages effortless, while the Yanmar 29 hp engine provides reliable propulsion when the wind falls light. On deck, you'll find a sprayhood that shields the cockpit during choppier passages, and essential navigation tools—GPS, radar, and a radio-CD system—keep you connected and oriented as you explore. The boat's moderate beam and responsive handling make her equally at home in the sheltered waters of the Belgian coast or venturing further toward the Wadden Islands and beyond.

A typical week aboard Maitai unfolds with unhurried rhythm: mornings spent sailing between hidden anchorages, afternoons exploring quiet fishing villages and their local seafood restaurants, and evenings anchored in protected bays where the water mirrors the sky. Whether you're an experienced sailor looking for a well-equipped platform or a group of friends and family new to bareboat charter seeking a manageable, confidence-building boat, Maitai delivers the essentials without pretense. The North Sea coast rewards those who venture out—dramatic tidal ranges, charming harbours with genuine character, and stretches of open water that feel far removed from the everyday.

Picture your final evening: anchored in a peaceful cove as the sun descends over the water, the boat gently swinging to its mooring, the smell of salt and the distant call of gulls reminding you why you came.
