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.
Great Family Choice The Cyclades 50.5 is a solid, well-equipped cruiser that works beautifully for families or small groups wanting comfortable sailing without a steep learning curve. Six cabins and 10 berths mean you've got flexibility in how you configure your crew, and the 2009 build quality from this proven design is genuinely reliable.
Standout Comfort Features What sets Filyos apart is the thoughtful kit: air-con and heating keep you comfortable year-round, a bow thruster makes tight anchorages painless, and the sprayhood protects the cockpit during passage work. The autopilot and chart plotter are essentials done right, and having a dinghy included is a real bonus for exploring anchorages.
Fair Value Proposition At this size and spec level, the €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and the boat delivers honest cruising performance without unnecessary frills. You're paying for dependable functionality rather than flashy extras, which suits the sailing community well.
One Practical Note Filyos is 15+ years old now, so factor in that older systems (like the air-con and heating) may need a bit more TLC than newer boats, nothing alarming, just realistic. Before committing, confirm the exact base location with SK-Yachting, as that affects your flight logistics considerably.
