SailChecker note

21 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 14.1m Ferretti 480 is an ideal choice if you're looking for a relaxed motorboat escape with a partner or small group of up to six guests. The three-cabin layout gives everyone their own space without feeling cramped, which matters on a motor yacht where you're spending time indoors.

Solid Italian cruising Ferrettis are known for reliable build quality and comfortable living spaces, and this one comes nicely equipped with stand-up paddleboards and snorkeling gear included, no rental fees on top. The zero-deposit requirement is a genuine bonus that makes booking simpler, though do confirm what's covered under the cancellation policy.

Reasonable value proposition At 19 years old, you're paying less than a newer model would cost, which is fair given the condition and amenities. Motor yachts burn fuel faster than sailboats, so factor in running costs when comparing total price to other options in her class.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in your details, so confirm transfer times from your nearest international airport and whether Passion Yachting offers English-speaking crew or support, these details matter when flying long-haul. That information will help you assess the true convenience of getting to and from "Arabella."
