What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
18 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 or small families. The Sun Odyssey 39 DS is a proven cruiser that works well for 2, 4 people seeking a relaxed week without feeling cramped; six berths means you can invite friends, though comfort drops with a full boat.
Well-equipped for comfort. Solar panels, autopilot, a swimming platform, and bimini awning are genuinely useful for Greek waters, you'll appreciate the shade and the ability to anchor off quiet beaches without burning through fuel or battery power.
Excellent value at the price. At €1,620 per week from a reputable Ionian operator, this represents solid mid-market pricing for a seaworthy, well-maintained 11.9-metre sail yacht with modern conveniences included.
One practical note: The 2008 build means systems are reliable but not cutting-edge; don't expect the latest navigation tech or luxe finishes, this is an honest working yacht that delivers straightforward sailing rather than flash.
