What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
24 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 43 is a proven workhorse for 4, 6 sailors who want comfortable cruising without breaking the bank. Built in 2002, she's well-established in the charter fleet and this particular boat comes equipped with practical essentials like autopilot, chart plotter, and solar panels for extended trips.
Well-equipped for exploration Saida stands out with snorkeling gear, dinghy, bimini, and sprayhood included, thoughtful touches for Mediterranean or tropical charter grounds. The four cabins sleep eight comfortably, making her ideal for couples or small groups who value space over ultra-modern finishes.
Good value proposition At 13.2 metres with solid standard equipment, you're getting reasonable bang for your buck here. The €2,250 deposit is accessible, and Yildiz Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (though based on limited reviews) suggests reliable service.
Age worth noting She's now 22 years old, so expect some cosmetic wear and potential maintenance quirks typical of boats from that era. Before booking, confirm with the operator what major systems have been recently serviced, engine, rigging, and plumbing are worth checking closely on a 2002 vessel.
