What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Great all-rounder The Sun Odyssey 479 is a proven, comfortable cruiser that suits mixed-ability groups and families wanting a relaxed week without constant sail adjustments. Elena's 2017 build means you're getting a well-maintained modern yacht without paying brand-new prices.
Smart features included The bow thruster and autopilot are genuine time-savers in tight anchorages and during longer passages, while the bimini keeps sun exposure manageable during Mediterranean or Caribbean charters. Four cabins sleeping ten means you can comfortably accommodate two couples or a small family group.
Fair value proposition At this size and age, the pricing sits in the honest middle ground, not a bargain, but reasonable for a capable boat with essential modern kit already installed. The €2200 deposit is standard.
One heads-up The 14.4-metre length means she's not intimate, so if you're after a cosy two-cabin escape, she'll feel over-equipped, you're paying for capacity you may not need. Check the base location carefully, as none is listed here; factor in airport transfers from your international arrival before booking.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
