What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
10 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 mid-range catamaran. The Saba 50 is a well-proven design, stable, spacious, and reliable for bareboat or skippered charters. At 15 metres with four cabins, it sleeps eight comfortably, making it great value for families or small groups splitting costs.
Smart practical features. Solar panels and a water maker mean you're genuinely self-sufficient on longer passages, while electric winches and autopilot reduce crew fatigue. The lazy bag and outboard engine round out a no-fuss, modern setup that handles both relaxed cruising and longer sailing days.
Fair value proposition. An €8,000 deposit is reasonable for this size and age. The 2016 build means you're getting a boat past teething troubles but with current systems, good middle ground between proven reliability and reasonable maintenance costs.
One realistic note: Without seeing the exact charter base location, we can't comment on transfer times from your arrival airport, but Arcadie Plaisance operates primarily in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, so factor in where you're flying into and whether connections work with your schedule.

Where Charters Went
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Saint-Tropez, Saint-Raphaël, Cannes and Antibes during the 2026 season so far. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Use the recorded stops as a starting point for your charter plans. The full map gives you more to compare, and you can ask us about a route from Saint-Tropez, Saint-Raphaël, Cannes and Antibes for this type of boat.
