SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples This Bavaria 36 works brilliantly for two couples or a small family wanting a proper sailing yacht without breaking the bank. At 11.3 metres, she's manageable for someone with basic sailing experience but still feels like a real boat.

Clever kit onboard The standout features here are the solar panels, radar, and lazy jack system — these show an owner who understands what actually matters on a charter yacht. Snorkeling gear and a dinghy included means you can properly explore anchorages, not just hit the obvious spots.

Excellent value proposition At €1,400 per week with a modest €1,000 deposit, this is genuinely competitive pricing for a well-equipped three-cabin sailboat. You're getting a 2011 Bavaria in active use, which suggests the boat is maintained regularly.

One note of caution The operator has only one review on file, so this is a smaller outfit — brilliant service is absolutely possible, but you won't find a track record yet. Before booking, I'd suggest contacting GA Holidays directly to confirm their support setup, especially if you're flying in from abroad and need reliable communication around arrival logistics.

Frequently asked questions
Can Irene be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Irene 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 Irene?
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.
