What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
17 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.
Perfect for groups This Bavaria 44 is genuinely well-suited to families or friends wanting serious comfort on the water, three cabins sleeping eight means no one's cramped, and the heating plus TV make it feel more like a floating holiday home than a spartan sailing yacht. The bow thruster and autopilot are real quality-of-life features that make handling easier, especially if your crew includes less experienced sailors.
Strong practical kit You're getting proper cruising essentials here: chart plotter, swimming platform, sprayhood, and bimini mean you can actually relax between passages without getting battered by sun or spray. The zero deposit is refreshingly straightforward, and at €3,927 per week, the price is genuinely competitive for a three-cabin vessel of this size and condition.
Value verdict For US or European clients flying to whatever base Sebleke operates from (worth confirming location and airport access directly), this offers solid bang-for-buck, you're not paying premium rates for a newer build, but you're still getting a well-equipped, practical boat. The 2009 vintage is far from ancient for this boat class.
One honest note The operator has only one review on record, so track record visibility is limited, definitely ask Sebleke for references or chat with recent charterers before committing. That said, the zero deposit policy suggests confidence in their fleet.
