What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
19 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.
Ideal for couples The Sun Odyssey 32i is a nimble, well-proven design that suits pairs or small families wanting hands-on sailing in a manageable package. At 9.6 metres, she's intimate but genuinely seaworthy, no toy boat here.
Practical essentials included You're getting solid kit: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, solar panels keep batteries topped up, and the sprayhood means easier cruising in variable weather. Snorkelling gear and dinghy open up anchorages and explore options beyond the mooring field.
Fair value proposition The €1,250 deposit is reasonable, and the 2007 build with these systems suggests an owner who maintains rather than neglects. Yildiz Yachting's 5-star rating is encouraging, though note that's based on just one review, worth asking for recent client feedback before committing.
One honest note Two cabins means limited privacy if you're bringing friends, and a 32-footer demands some sailing competence or willingness to learn; this isn't a floating hotel. Confirm fuel, water, and provisioning costs upfront, as they're not listed here.
