That’s bloody cheap, as much as I’m not a fan of Spain .......I might have to start looking.Agreed Mike... The LOA of the 58 pushes it up a bracket from the 52 at all marinas as far as I can tell.

Fairline Squadron 52 Used Boat for Sale 2000 | TheYachtMarket
thats the same boat advertised as being in Italy, been up for sale for ages
I'm drawn to the Squadron 52 precisely because it only has 2 massive cabins with massive en suites (and loads of room for all the other crap on board).
daughter turned 18 last summer, offered the same, ended up with 5 of her friends and her being annoyed that she couldn't call another two (of her "closest" friends...)
was definitely tight,
I see the one that is up for sale has just gone up in price overnight ??
? Maybe!So it has!!!
Perhaps this thread has bumped it up or maybe they have decided to try and get their shipping costs back!
My little boat has a bedroom for me and the admiral, plus a small bedroom for the admiral’s dog. I removed the sofa bed from the saloon and replaced it with an electric reclining sofa. So, we have no facilities for guests to stay the night. And for some reason that has never been an issue. But of course, we live close to the boat.All I can say is that I thought the same a few years ago when I bought a 2 cabin AZ46 in Spain. I thought we are a couple with an only child so why do we need more than 2 cabins especially as the saloon sofa could be converted into a berth. The first thing that happened is that our son told us that he didnt want to go boating with us unless he could bring a friend but he wasnt going to share his berth with that friend. The second thing that happened was that my sister in law went through a messy marriage split and my SWMBO insisted that she accompanied us on our main summer holiday. So our son got turfed out of his cabin making him dislike the boat even more. And the 3rd thing that happened was that I invited some mates for a boys trip later in the year and I didnt properly explain the sleeping arrangements and one of them ended up sleeping on the flybridge because nobody wanted to share a double berth. All highly embarrassing. Inside a year I sold that boat and bought a 3 cabin boat and I would never buy a 2 cabin boat again. In fact my next will likely be a 4 cabin. I dont count the crew cabin as a cabin at least on the boats I've owned for 2 reasons. First they've been usually very pokey and uncomfortable and secondly we fill them with cruising junk like bikes, deck chairs etc and if you do use them regularly as a cabin the next question is where do you put all that junk
I'm not saying that any of the above would happen to you only to say that a Med boat serves a dual function not only as a boat but your holiday home and it needs to be sized accordingly.
