What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
21 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Solid family choice This 2005 Bavaria 39 suits groups or families wanting accessible sailing without complexity, three cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the electric winches make handling manageable for mixed experience levels. It's the kind of boat that won't exhaust you before your holiday even starts.
Practical standouts Solar panels keep your batteries topped up during quiet anchorages, autopilot handles long stretches so you can actually enjoy the view, and the chart plotter removes navigation guesswork. The dinghy is included, which saves hiring one separately and opens up exploring smaller bays.
Honest value At €3,350/week, you're paying mid-range rates for a 19-year-old boat, fair given the equipment package and cabin count, though it's not brand new. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable and manageable.
One practical note The operator has only one review on record, so there's limited feedback to gauge service consistency or how smoothly international arrivals are handled, worth a direct email to confirm their English-speaking support and airport transfer logistics before committing.
