SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-range choice The Bavaria 37 is a proven cruising platform that suits mixed-ability groups of 4–8 wanting accessible sailing without breaking the bank. At €1,488/week, it's genuinely competitive for a three-cabin boat with this equipment spec in the Mediterranean.

Practical setup You get genuine cruising conveniences here—solar panels mean less engine hours, the autopilot takes fatigue out of longer passages, and a proper sprayhood plus bimini make the cockpit actually comfortable. The dinghy is essential for anchorages, and the chart plotter removes navigation headaches.

Real value proposition For international charterers flying in from the US or Northern Europe, the 11.2m length is manageable (easier boat handling than larger models) yet spacious enough that eight people don't feel cramped across three cabins. The 2007 build age is honest positioning at this price point.

One honest note We don't have the charter base location listed, so we can't comment on flight connections or airport transfer logistics—that'll be crucial for your journey planning. Check those details directly with Vrakotas Big Blue Charters before booking, especially if you're coordinating international arrivals with other crew.

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