What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
31 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.
Solid workhorse This 1995 motor boat is a reliable, no-frills choice for small groups exploring Sweden's Göta Canal, a genuinely unique waterway that few charter regions offer. At 10.4 metres with 2 cabins sleeping up to 9, it's practical for families or friends who don't mind cosy quarters.
What stands out The swimming platform is a genuine bonus on canal boats, and the chart plotter handles navigation through Sweden's lock system without drama. At €1,095 per week with a modest €1,000 deposit, pricing is fair for self-skippered canal cruising in Northern Europe.
Value proposition If you're flying from the US or further afield, the Göta Canal itself, a 19th-century marvel linking Stockholm to Gothenburg, is the real draw here; the boat is honest transport to experience it. You're paying for access to something genuinely different, not luxury fittings.
One candid note The boat is nearly 30 years old, so expect vintage charm rather than modern comfort; confirm recent maintenance records before booking, and don't assume amenities beyond what's listed.
