What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
13 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.
Who she suits This Bavaria 36 works well for small families or groups of up to 7 wanting a genuine sailing experience without breaking the bank. At 11.3 metres with three cabins, you've got decent comfort and sleeping space for a week exploring Mediterranean waters.
Standout features The lazy jack and lazy bag make sail handling much easier, a real comfort feature on a boat this size. You get autopilot for longer passages, a dinghy included (crucial for anchoring out), and a fridge to keep provisions fresh.
Value proposition At €2,625 per week from Malta Charters, this is competitive pricing for a 2013 Bavaria in the central Mediterranean. With just a €3,000 deposit, the entry cost is reasonable for a bareboat charter of this calibre.
One honest note The Bavaria 36 is a solid workhorse rather than a luxury cruiser, expect functional rather than fancy interiors. If you're flying long-haul from the US or UK to Malta, factor in airport transfers and a day to settle in before casting off; it's worth the journey for the sailing, but not a "jump on and go" situation.
