What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
14 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.
Ideal for larger groups With 5 cabins and 12 berths, Alessandra is a superb choice if you're chartering with extended family or friends, rare to find this much sleeping capacity on a 49-footer. The boat genuinely suits 8, 10 people comfortably if you don't mind sharing cabins.
Well-equipped cruiser The Sun Odyssey 509 is a proven, stable platform, and this one ticks practical boxes: solar panels for green cruising, bow thruster for easier marina work, sprayhood for everyday comfort, and useful extras like snorkeling gear and dinghy included. That's solid spec for bareboat or skippered charter.
Fair value proposition At €4,200 per week, you're paying roughly €350 per person for a 10-person group, genuinely competitive for a 2012 yacht this size with modern conveniences. ARCHON Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (albeit on just 4 reviews) suggests reliable service, which matters when flying internationally to an unfamiliar base.
One fair note The charter base location isn't listed here, so check where Alessandra actually operates, that'll dictate your flight logistics and whether it suits your sailing goals (Mediterranean, Adriatic, Caribbean). Some bases are easier to reach from the US or UK than others.
