BEST MEN (Sun Odyssey 42 i)

Perfect for groups This 42-footer comfortably sleeps eight across three cabins, making it ideal for friends or families wanting to split costs on a Greek sailing holiday. At under €2,000 per week, you're getting excellent value for a three-cabin yacht with a five-star operator backing it.

Well-equipped vessel The "Best Men" comes with practical cruising essentials, bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for relaxed sailing, solar panels for sustainability, and snorkeling gear for the Greek islands' crystal waters. The bimini and sprayhood are smart additions for Mediterranean comfort.

Strong operator choice Athenian Yachts has a perfect 5/5 rating across eight reviews, which speaks volumes about their maintenance standards and customer care, important when chartering a 2007 model. You're dealing with a reputable, English-speaking Greek outfit that understands what international sailors expect.

Age consideration At 17 years old, this Sun Odyssey is past her first youth, so check the pre-charter survey carefully and budget for potential maintenance surprises, particularly with systems like the electric toilet and electronics. That said, the Sun Odyssey 42 is a bulletproof design, so age matters far less here than condition.
