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.
Sleek motor cruiser The Canados 72 "Why Not" is a stylish 22.8-metre motoryacht built in 2009, ideal for guests who want comfort and speed over sailing skill. With four cabins sleeping up to nine, it suits multi-family groups or friends who prefer the relaxed pace of motor cruising to traditional sailing.
Standout highlights The teak deck and air conditioning make this vessel feel refined, while practical touches like bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of manoeuvring in tight spots. You'll also appreciate the onboard entertainment, think TV, radio-CD, and stand-up paddleboards for exploring calmer anchorages.
Value perspective A zero deposit is genuinely unusual and signals real confidence from Free Charter Srl; combined with 2009 build quality and well-rounded equipment, this represents solid value for a four-cabin motor yacht in that size bracket. You're paying for comfort and convenience rather than cutting-edge newness.
One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, which matters when you're flying in from abroad, you'll want to confirm the airport transfer time and whether the operator offers English-speaking crew or skippered options before booking. That said, the zero deposit removes one barrier to committing to your inquiry.
