What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
17 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.
Perfect for couples or small families. The Oceanis 40 is a proven cruiser with three cabins and six berths, ideal if you're bringing one or two friends along or want flexible sleeping options. At 12.5 metres, she's manageable for confident sailors yet spacious enough for a proper week away.
Well-equipped and practical. Anassa ticks the boxes that matter: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for those longer passages, solar panels to keep the batteries topped up, and modern conveniences like a chart plotter and inverter. The bimini and sprayhood mean you won't be cooked or drenched if conditions turn fresh.
Solid value proposition. At €2,520 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, this represents fair pricing for a 2009 Beneteau in the Mediterranean, you're getting proven reliability without paying premium rates for a newer model. Assuming Sun Yachting's single 5-star review reflects their actual standard, the operator seems trustworthy.
One practical note: The rating comes from just one review, so it's worth contacting Sun Yachting directly to ask for recent client feedback and clarify your exact base location and whether they handle airport transfers, these details matter when you're flying in from abroad.
