SailChecker note

32 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.

Classic gulet charm Be Happy is a traditional 20-metre gulet built in 1994 that suits groups and families wanting an authentic, fully crewed sailing holiday with genuine character. The five-cabin layout sleeping ten works well for extended family trips or friends sharing costs on a week-long adventure.

Well-equipped for comfort Modern essentials like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a dishwasher sit nicely alongside classic gulet appeal, the teak deck is a genuine highlight. You'll have everything needed for water activities: dinghy, snorkelling kit, and stand-up paddleboards included, which adds real value for guests of every age and confidence level.

Strong value proposition At zero deposit required through 4U Yachting, this is accessible entry-point pricing for a gulet of this size and cabin count. The all-in package (equipment, generator, ice maker) means fewer surprise costs once you're aboard.

Age worth noting She's a 1994 build, so while gulets age gracefully when maintained, you'll want recent survey reports and maintenance history before committing, ask 4U Yachting for specifics on recent upgrades and any planned refits.
