SailChecker note

11 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 couples This 20-meter motoryacht works brilliantly for two couples or a small family seeking privacy without excessive size. The 2015 build with just two cabins keeps things intimate while the 4-berth capacity gives you flexibility if you're bringing grown kids or friends along.

Standout features The teak deck is a genuine luxury touch that elevates the whole experience, and the combination of dishwasher, air conditioning, and generator means you're living comfortably, not roughing it. A dinghy is included, which opens up anchorages and beach stops that larger yachts simply can't reach.

Excellent value proposition Zero deposit required is genuinely unusual and removes friction from booking; that's a real plus. At 20 meters with those amenities and no deposit barrier, you're getting accessible motorboat luxury without the premium price tag attached to bigger vessels.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in the listing, which is frustrating, you'll need to confirm that with 4U Yachting directly, especially regarding flight connections and transfer times from your nearest international airport. Without knowing where she's based, it's hard to assess total journey logistics from the US or Europe.
