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.
Who it suits This 36-footer is ideal for couples or small families wanting hands-on sailing without breaking the bank, or groups of up to seven looking for an affordable shared adventure. The three cabins and comfortable berths make it flexible for different group sizes.
Standout features You're getting solid practical kit here, autopilot, chart plotter, dinghy, and a teak cockpit with both sprayhood and bimini for real-world comfort in variable conditions. For a 2009 build, the equipment list shows a boat that's been maintained for actual cruising, not just showroom appeal.
Value for money At this size and age with a modest €2,500 deposit, Lyra sits in the sweet spot for budget-conscious charterers who don't want to compromise on essentials. NSS Charter's 4.3-star rating across 10 reviews suggests reliable service and well-maintained boats, which matters when you're flying long-haul to meet your yacht.
One honest note A 2009 boat means you're chartering something 15+ years old, perfectly seaworthy if maintained, but don't expect cutting-edge interior finishes or the latest navigation tech. Factor in a pre-departure survey if you're particular about condition.
