Typhon (Bavaria 37 '15)

Perfect for groups The Typhon suits families or friend groups of four to eight people looking for an affordable Mediterranean sailing experience without breaking the bank. At €1,292 per week with three cabins and eight berths, the per-person cost is genuinely competitive, especially for a 2015 Bavaria in the Adriatic.

Well-equipped basics You get the essentials sorted: autopilot for easier sailing, a dinghy for beach stops, bimini and sprayhood for sun and weather protection, and a fridge to keep provisions cool. The operator's solid 4.7/5 rating from seven reviews suggests reliable maintenance and decent support.

Honest value proposition At this price point and age, you're getting a proven mid-range cruiser that handles well in light to moderate conditions, ideal for Adriatic summer sailing where you'll spend most time anchored or in protected harbors anyway. The 11.3-metre length keeps costs down while still offering reasonable comfort for a week away.

One real caveat The Typhon's design prioritizes value over luxury, so expect functional rather than plush interiors and modest cabin sizes when eight people are on board. If anyone in your group values space or modern finishes, you might find the accommodation tighter than expected on a week-long voyage.
