What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
20 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 2006 Sun Odyssey 42i works well for families or small groups of 4, 6 seeking comfortable coastal sailing without breaking the bank. At 12.8 metres with three cabins and solid modern conveniences, it's accessible enough for less experienced sailors while still offering genuine sailing credentials.
Standout Features The boat ticks practical boxes: solar panels mean lower generator running costs, an electric toilet adds comfort, and thoughtful touches like the bimini, sprayhood, and cockpit speakers make time on deck genuinely pleasant. The dinghy and outboard are included, which saves money on water-sports excursions and exploring anchorages.
Value For Money At €2,700 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a three-cabin boat in this size range, you're getting decent equipment and a well-maintained vessel without premium pricing. The inclusion of dinghy and outboard adds real value compared to many competitors.
One Honest Note The operator has only one review on record, so there's limited track record to assess service quality, responsiveness, or local knowledge, something worth clarifying directly before committing, especially given the long-haul travel involved for most SailChecker clients.
