What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
10 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 groups This 2016 Sun Odyssey 479 suits families or friends wanting comfortable shared sailing without breaking the bank, four cabins sleep ten, so costs split nicely across larger parties. The boat has solid cruising credentials with chart plotter navigation and modern solar panels to keep batteries topped up during longer passages.
Standout comfort features The teak cockpit, sprayhood, and cushions make time on deck genuinely pleasant, even in variable weather or full sun. Solar panels are a genuine bonus for reducing engine hours and keeping power reserves healthy, something you'll appreciate on extended charters.
Strong value proposition At €2,775 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this boat delivers proper 4-cabin accommodation at a fair daily rate, especially when shared among a group of six to eight people. It's a sensible, well-equipped cruiser that won't surprise you with hidden wear.
One honest note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't advise on airport access or transfer logistics, definitely clarify that with Vourazelis Yachting before booking, particularly since you're likely flying internationally to reach it.
