What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
20 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.
Ideal for larger groups The Xenia is a solid choice if you're chartering with friends or family, five cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own bunk without feeling cramped. At 51 feet, she's big enough to handle modest sea states but still manageable for mixed-experience crews.
Well-equipped and practical This boat ticks the boxes that matter: hydraulic gangway, bow thruster, and autopilot make handling and docking genuinely easier, while the teak deck and bimini add genuine comfort for Mediterranean cruising. The chart plotter and full tender setup suggest she's properly maintained for charter life.
Strong value proposition At €2,275 per week from Greece, you're looking at roughly €228 per person for a week's accommodation if all ten berths are filled, that's genuinely competitive for a five-cabin vessel in the Greek islands. The modest deposit (€2,350) is refreshing too.
Age worth noting She's 18 years old, which isn't ancient for a well-cared-for charter boat, but you'll want to confirm maintenance records and sea trials before committing. Given the reasonable price, do ask Greece Yachting directly about recent refits or upgrades to feel confident in her condition.
