This is my first sailing boat, so I don't know what to look. I will use it

difference because is not small, in Croatia Sun Odyssey is more than 30.000
Euro cheaper than Oceanis. So I try to find reason for that big difference
in price.


If this is your 1st sailing boat then you need to get experience :-).
Buying a sailing boat is as difficult as buying a car or a house. You
should start to define what you like in a sailboat and go from there. It
might be a good idea to rent each boat for a week or two. That way
you'll see yourself which one you prefer and why. If you don't then
consider a part of your investment 'learning expense', because you'll
find out over time only if you like the boat you've bought or not.
