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.
Solid mid-range cruiser The Sun Odyssey 39i is a proven design that suits couples or small families wanting comfortable sailing without breaking the bank. At 11.7 metres with three cabins and room for eight, it balances liveable space with manageable handling for mixed-ability crews.
Smart practical touches Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll keep batteries topped up during lazy anchoring days, while the outboard engine handles tight marina work. The sprayhood and bimini are genuine comfort features for Mediterranean or Caribbean charters where sun and spray management matter.
Fair value proposition At €1,990 per week with only €1,800 deposit, this yacht offers decent bang for money, you're not paying luxury rates, but you're getting a reliable, well-equipped boat. Nautilia Yachting's track record suggests professional standards, though we'd recommend checking their base location for your flight logistics.
One realistic note A 2008 boat means she's 15+ years old; expect solid bones but budget extra for any unexpected maintenance during your charter. Confirm the exact base with Nautilia so you can plan your airport transfer time, that detail matters more than the yacht's age when you're flying international.
