What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
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.
Ideal for groups This 56-footer sleeps up to 12 across five cabins, making it a smart pick for families or friends wanting to split costs on a week-long adventure. At €3,290 per week, the per-person outlay becomes genuinely affordable when you're dividing it among several people.
Solid cruising kit She's got the essentials sorted: autopilot and bow thruster make handling easier, air conditioning keeps things comfortable in warm climates, and the teak deck feels right underfoot. A bimini overhead is a real bonus for protecting the cockpit from sun during long passages or lazy anchorages.
Good value proposition For a 2007 18-metre sailing yacht with five cabins and modern conveniences like heating and air con, the weekly rate is competitive. You're getting a well-equipped vessel without paying five-star pricing, though the €4,200 security deposit is fairly standard for a boat this size.
One note on age At 17 years old, Alexandria is mature but not ancient, however, if your group includes sailors wanting cutting-edge technology or brand-new systems, a newer build might feel fresher. Charter directly through SailWays and clarify their recent refit history to understand what's been refreshed lately.
