What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
29 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 comfort This 1997 Haines 38 is a solid, well-equipped motor boat ideal for couples or small families wanting relaxed cruising without the hassle of sailing. The three cabins and six berths give you genuine flexibility, whether you're traveling as a group or want extra space to spread out.
Practical standouts The bow thruster is a real asset for single-handed manoeuvring in tight spots, and the swimming platform adds genuine value for leisurely days on the water. A working refrigerator, electric toilet, and radio-CD player cover the essentials for comfortable cruising, nothing fancy, but everything that matters for a week away.
Honest value question At 27 years old, this boat needs to be priced competitively to justify the age. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, but you'll want to confirm the charter rate and service history, older motor boats can surprise you with unexpected costs if maintenance has been patchy. Check what fuel consumption looks like; a motor boat this age might be thirstier than you'd hope.
One fair caveat The base location isn't listed here, so I can't advise on airport transfers or how convenient it is for international guests. Before committing, confirm where you're flying into and how far the charter base is, that logistics piece often matters more than the boat itself for long-haul travellers.
