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.

Solid mid-range cruiser The First 40.7 is a well-proven design that suits couples and small families after a genuine sailing experience without the fuss of a mega-yacht. At 12 metres, it's nimble enough to explore tight anchorages yet spacious enough that 6, 8 people won't feel cramped.

What stands out This boat delivers practical comfort: three cabins mean proper sleeping separation, and the sprayhood is a real quality-of-life feature for Atlantic or Mediterranean conditions. It's a proven racer-cruiser hull, so performance feels rewarding without requiring competitive-level skills.

Fair value proposition The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and operating through Bravasail (a respected Spanish outfit) typically means transparent pricing and solid support. For a 20-year-old yacht, you're paying charter rates that reflect the boat's age honestly, no inflated pricing for a vintage nameplate.

One honest note The radio-CD combo dates the vessel; don't expect modern navigation or entertainment gear. If you're chartering long-haul from the US or UK, confirm exactly where the base is located (it's not listed here) and factor in your airport transfer time before booking.
