SailChecker note

22 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 couples This 31.7 is an ideal weekender for two people or a small family wanting to explore Sicily's coastline without breaking the bank. The 2004 build keeps costs down, and at nearly 10 metres she's nimble enough for one or two people to handle comfortably.

Smart essentials included You've got the gear that matters: lazy bag for easy sail handling, autopilot for those longer passages, and a dinghy to get ashore. Refrigeration and DVD player add comfort for downtime between days on the water, sensible touches for a boat at this price point.

Great value proposition At just €2,000 deposit with Sicily Charter, this represents honest, no-frills Mediterranean sailing without luxury pricing. She's well-equipped for bareboat sailing if you're qualified, or a solid platform for a skipper-led charter to learn the Aeolian Islands or Tyrrhenian routes.

Modest cabin space Two cabins sleeping six means tight quarters if you're maxing out, expect cosy bunks rather than roomy berths. The 2004 age is fair value, but factor in that older boats occasionally need minor maintenance surprises during your week.
