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.
Perfect for group getaways. The Oceanis 423 Argo sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a Mediterranean sailing holiday. At €2755/week, you're getting solid value for that capacity in what's typically a pricier charter region.
Solid, practical cruiser. This 2006 Beneteau is a workhorse, the bow thruster, autopilot, and chart plotter with radar take the stress out of sailing, especially if your group includes less experienced sailors. The sprayhood and bimini keep everyone comfortable in strong sun or the occasional squall.
Fair pricing for the spec. At nearly 18 years old, Argo won't have the latest bells and whistles, but the core systems are there and the boat has proven itself in charter fleets. The €2500 deposit is reasonable, and weekly rates at this price point are competitive for an eight-berth in the Greek islands or broader Med.
Age is the trade-off. A 2006 boat means you're accepting some wear and potential maintenance quirks, nothing unusual for a working charter yacht, but worth confirming the recent service history and condition of that older outboard engine before you commit.
