What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for active sailors who want a capable 52-footer without breaking the bank. The 2018 Sun Odyssey 519 is a well-balanced cruiser-racer that handles beautifully under sail and performs well in varied conditions, making it perfect for mixed groups wanting proper sailing alongside comfort.
Smart standout features. The bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of tight anchorages and long passages, while air conditioning and heating mean you're comfortable year-round, rare luxuries on boats this size. Teak decking adds character and durability, and the generous 10-berth capacity lets you split costs across a larger crew.
Strong value proposition. A zero deposit is genuinely refreshing and lowers the barrier to entry, especially if you're chartering from overseas and coordinating international funds. For a 2018 model with solid systems and four proper cabins, the pricing appears competitive within the 50+ foot market segment.
One practical note: We don't have the base location listed here, so check whether it's positioned near a major international airport, transit time from wherever you're flying from matters a lot for a week-long charter. Also confirm what's included in the rate and whether the operator (VTC Charter) offers pre-arrival provisioning or concierge services, which can make a real difference on a bareboat delivery.
