What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
13 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 2013 Sun Odyssey 509 is ideal for larger groups or multi-family charters, 12 berths across 5 cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy without cramming. It's a solid pick for sailors who want comfort and modern conveniences rather than roughing it.
Standout features The 2024 refit is the real selling point here, plus air-con, generator, and solar panels make this feel less like traditional sailing and more like a floating villa. Bow thruster, autopilot, and lazy jack keep things manageable even if your crew isn't all experienced sailors; snorkeling gear and swimming platform add easy leisure activities between anchorages.
Value consideration At 15.4 metres with this kit, you're paying for comfort and group capacity rather than cutting-edge performance. The recent refit suggests DMS have invested properly, which typically translates to fewer surprises mid-charter, worth factoring against upfront cost.
One heads-up The base location isn't listed in your data, so confirm transfer time from the nearest international airport before booking; a 2-hour drive beats a 4-hour schlep when you're jet-lagged with 12 people in tow.
