SailChecker Expert View
I appreciate you sharing the details, but I need to be honest: Limited information on this listing means I can't give you a fair assessment. There's no charter base location specified, no equipment breakdown, and no photos, all crucial for evaluating a 1983 motorboat at this price point.
The basics suggest this is an ultra-compact day boat or open tender rather than a live-aboard vessel. With zero cabins but 6 berths, you're looking at basic cushioned seating, likely suited only to short daytime outings or very casual overnights for groups staying ashore.
Value is unclear without knowing the base location, engine condition, fuel consumption, or what "equipment" actually includes. At €1,800/week for a 5.5m open boat, pricing could range from reasonable to poor depending entirely on those missing details.
My honest caveat: a 40-year-old boat needs transparent maintenance history and a full pre-charter inspection. Before booking, contact Llauts i Velers directly and ask for the base location, equipment list, fuel policy, and recent service records. Don't book based on this stripped-down listing alone.

The marina & destination
Based at Marina Palamós, in Palamós, Spain. Maria is operated by Llauts i Velers.
Salvador Albert i Pey
Marina Palamós sits on the northern Costa Brava, placing you within easy reach of the Illes Medes and the dramatic rocky coves between Palamós and Begur; a week's charter typically explores this rugged coastline northwards to the French border or southwards towards Tossa de Mar. The marina offers reliable northeasterly winds (the Tramuntana) that make for consistent sailing conditions, and the shallow, sheltered waters of the Baix Empordà provide good anchorages for less experienced crews. Direct access to Spain's most characterful sailing grounds means you spend less time motoring and more time anchored in limestone coves with transparent water.
