What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
12 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 This 509 is a solid choice if you're bringing friends or extended family, ten berths across five cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy without cramping. The 15.4-metre length handles the configuration well for a boat in this class.
Good comfort features The teak cockpit, hydraulic gangway, and electric toilet are nice touches that add convenience and appeal, especially after a long flight to Sardinia. The chart plotter and modern systems suggest decent maintenance, though the 2014 build means some refresh wouldn't hurt.
Mixed reviews warrant caution A 3.3/5 rating across 19 reviews is honest feedback, not terrible, but inconsistent. Before committing the €4,500 deposit, ask the operator directly about recent improvements and read through those reviews carefully to understand what's gone wrong for others.
Watch the value equation Without published weekly rates, it's hard to judge if you're getting good value, especially given the operator's middling reputation. Sardinia's a beautiful destination with excellent accessibility from the UK and Europe, but factor in whether this particular boat justifies the cost versus competitors at the same base.
