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.
Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 42i is a brilliant all-rounder for groups of 4, 8 wanting a comfortable, easy-sailing yacht. With 3 cabins and thoughtful onboard kit like air-con and solar panels, it balances liveability with genuine sailing credentials.
Well-equipped cruiser You're getting solid spec here: bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar for safety, bimini and sprayhood for Mediterranean sun, plus teak decking that feels premium. The inverter means devices stay charged without running engines constantly, a real quality-of-life feature on longer charters.
Strong value proposition At a €2,500 deposit, this 2008 model represents honest money for a proven design that's held its appeal for over 15 years. You're not paying for bleeding-edge newness, but you are getting a reliable platform with enough creature comforts that nobody feels roughed-out.
One practical note The charter operator VoiliVoilou is based outside mainstream tourist hubs, so factor in airport transfers when you're flying from the UK, US, or central Europe, nothing prohibitive, but worth confirming logistics before booking. Once you're aboard, this yacht will reward you with easy sailing and genuine comfort.
