What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
19 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 for confident sailors This 2007 First 50 is built for people who know their way around a sailboat and want a proper cruising-racer with real performance. She's a quality French design that rewards good seamanship, though she'll demand respect from the helm.
Well-equipped and practical You're getting solid kit here, bow thruster, radar, chart plotter, and a teak cockpit that speaks to her pedigree. The three cabins sleep eight comfortably enough for a week's sailing, and the bimini and sprayhood make longer days on the water genuinely pleasant rather than a battle.
Fair value proposition At this age and size, the pricing looks reasonable if the boat's been kept in decent shape. The €2000 deposit is standard, so you're not locked into hidden costs before you commit.
Charter operator details matter here We don't have the base location listed, which is important, your flight time and logistics depend entirely on where Profilo Race 'n' Fun operates. Before booking, confirm the base and check reviews on how well they maintain their fleet, since a boat this age absolutely needs consistent care to perform reliably.
