Looking at boats as you do.

This seems astounding value.

Seems made in Taiwan but the engines are Cat.

Interested in views. Not seriously considering it but could be tempted.

It seems over 24m which is a show stopper and 11,000 litre tanks would be painful. Hope it gives it a decent range !

Looks cracking value. Styling not to my taste, internal and external, and quite dated. Looks to have all the right makings of a good boat from the pics. Go on Jeremy, you know you want to.

Air con on the flybridge.......that is posh!

24 knot cruise......is that likely?

Galley looks a bit tight!

First thing to say is that given that she's a charter boat and the engine hours are conspicuous by their absence from the sale advert, you can bet she's got high hours. The fact that she's had a new aircon system at only 10yrs old rather confirms she's had a busy life

Second thing to say is that these Taiwanese boats are a hard sell at this size because they're competing head on with some prestige brands from Italy and the UK so they have to be cheaper on the used market. Before I bought my current boat, I looked at a couple of Taiwanese built Elegance boats which are actually better known in the Med than Vitech and they had been on the market for many months and continued to be on the market for months after I chose to buy my Ferretti

Third thing to say is if the Vitech is anything like the Elegances I looked at, it will have top notch equipment but the grp quality may be lacking so if you are interested you would have to get a really thorough survey

Not sure the length is an issue. I think the pro skipper requirement kicks it at 24m load line length and I think this boat may still sneak in under that

Definitely well under 24m LLL. Definitely 24 knots cruise with those C32 (non ACERT) engines. 11,000 litre tanks is for range not because she guzzles gas, except that if you fill them she will guzzle a fair bit of gas lugging 10 tonnes of fuel around - 20 litres/nm at a guess. For local cruising you would want to save 5 tonnes and half fill them

Not a terrible boat but a bit dated and a very unsalable brand. With that money you might as well pocket half of it and buy an Arno or Mangusta 80 at half this asking price. Or offer half price for this one.
