What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
39 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.
Who it suits This is a solid choice for larger groups or extended families wanting a classic sailing experience without breaking the bank, 10 berths mean you can spread out comfortably, and at €2,850/week it punches well above its weight for value.
What stands out Built in 1987, the Beneteau 50 is a proven ocean-going design with excellent sea-keeping. The kit is genuinely helpful for charter: bow thruster makes mooring stress-free, autopilot and radar remove fatigue on longer passages, and the solar panels plus inverter mean decent power autonomy between charges.
Money well spent For a five-cabin boat with dinghy included and modern navigation/comfort gear, the pricing is honest and competitive. The low deposit (€2,000) is refreshingly accessible too.
One thing to know She's 37 years old, which is respectable for a Beneteau but means you should verify the engine, through-hulls, and standing rigging condition directly with Adonis Sailyachts before booking, age alone isn't a deal-breaker on a well-maintained boat, but it's worth confirming.
