SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-range cruiser The Bavaria 35 is a well-proven design that suits couples or small families wanting a manageable, stable boat without the complexity of a larger vessel. At 10.8 metres, it's forgiving to handle for sailors with moderate experience, yet roomy enough for real comfort.

Honest highlights Three cabins and seven berths give you flexibility for mixed groups, and the chart plotter plus solid electronics mean you're well-equipped for coastal exploring. It's a boat that simply works—reliable, unfussy, and built for proper cruising rather than flashy spec.

Value assessment At €1,620 per week with only a €1,500 deposit, this is genuinely reasonable pricing for a 3-cabin boat from a reputable operator. You're getting a sensible, mid-2000s package without paying premium rates for newer gloss.

One candid note The 2009 build means systems and upholstery are dating, so don't expect a showroom feel—but that's reflected honestly in the price. Before booking, confirm the exact charter base location with El Yachting, as it wasn't listed here, so you can factor in airport transfer time from your arrival point.

Frequently asked questions
Can Alba be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Alba bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Alba?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
