What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
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.
Perfect for groups This 509 is built for larger parties, six cabins and twelve berths make it ideal for families or friends chartering together, especially if you're flying in from North America or continental Europe and want to maximise your cabin options without splitting across two vessels.
Well-equipped cruiser The 2022 refit is a genuine plus, and you're getting serious comfort features: air-con, generator, heating, solar panels, and a bow thruster that makes tight anchorages stress-free. The swimming platform, snorkeling kit, and lazy jack are thoughtful touches for a relaxing week.
Strong value proposition At around €2,211 per week, this represents solid value for a 15.4m boat with six cabins fully refitted, you're paying per yacht, not per person, so the cost-per-head drops significantly with a full group. The modest €2,000 deposit keeps entry friction low.
One honest note The listing doesn't specify the exact location or base port, which matters hugely for international flyers calculating airport transfer time and logistics, before booking, confirm the base with DMS Sailing to ensure it suits your flight connections and planned sailing area.
