What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
20 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.
Built for explorers This 39-metre motorsailer suits adventurous groups wanting range and self-sufficiency over pure luxury. The 5-cabin layout sleeps 10 comfortably, making it ideal for larger parties or extended family charters where space matters more than five-star frills.
Standout practicality The motorsailer design means you're not dependent on wind, genuinely useful for reaching remote anchorages on your schedule. Generator, air conditioning, and a dinghy with SUP board give you flexibility for exploration, while the 2006 build suggests a well-proven, robust platform.
Value proposition A zero deposit is refreshing and removes friction, though without seeing the base location or pricing, it's hard to judge value directly. For a 39-metre vessel sleeping 10, this could offer strong economics if you're splitting costs across a larger group.
One honest note At 18 years old, this yacht will require more hands-on maintenance than newer builds, factor in that some systems may need attention during your charter. Before booking, confirm the base location with 4U Yachting (details aren't shown here), as international flight connections vary hugely depending on where you're departing from.
