What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
23 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.
Ideal for larger groups. Lady Liberty's five-cabin layout and 10-berth capacity make her perfect for family reunions or friend groups chartering together, you'll find the space and privacy that smaller boats simply can't offer.
Well-equipped and comfortable. This 2003 Bavaria 49 comes with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar and chart plotter for confident navigation, heating for shoulder-season sailing, and a swimming platform for those Mediterranean moments. The teak cockpit and bimini top signal a boat that's been maintained with care.
Solid value proposition. At this size and cabin count, Lady Liberty represents reasonable value, you're spreading costs across more people, and the kit list suggests no surprises waiting in the cabin. The modest €2,000 deposit is refreshingly straightforward.
One practical note: She's a 2003 build, so while clearly well-loved, systems like the radar and plotter may lack the slick interfaces of newer boats, nothing broken, just a slightly older feel. If your group values cutting-edge tech, that's worth factoring in, though it won't affect sailing performance one bit.
