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 groups This 2009 Oceanis 46 comfortably sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for friends or multi-family holidays who want to share costs and split the charter fee. At roughly €2,854 per week, you're looking at decent value when divided among a larger crew.
Well-equipped for comfort The boat comes with genuinely useful features: electric winches take the strain out of sail handling, a bow thruster helps with tight anchorages, solar panels offset power consumption, and autopilot gives everyone a break on longer passages. Cockpit cushions and a sprayhood add real comfort for extended time on deck, proper touches for a week-long charter.
Honest value question At 15 years old, this yacht is a solid mid-range option, but you're paying modern charter rates for aging equipment. The 2009 build means navigation and autopilot tech won't match newer boats, and systems are more likely to need TLC during your week.
One real caveat The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't advise on airport logistics or how far you're flying to reach the boat, that matters when you're traveling long-haul from the US or northern Europe. Check with Co Yacht directly on where Sifnos 46.1 is based before booking.
