Solid midrange choice The Bavaria 37 is a well-proven cruising design that punches above its weight for three-cabin charters. At 11.3 metres, "Gigiona" offers genuine comfort for small groups or families without the complexity or cost of a larger vessel.

Strong practical features You get autopilot as standard, a real comfort on longer passages, plus a dinghy included, which matters if you're exploring anchorages around your charter destination. The three-cabin layout sleeps eight, so couples or small groups have genuine privacy rather than bunking down together.

Fair value proposition A 2007 Bavaria in this class typically represents honest value for a bareboat charter. The operator's 5/5 rating is encouraging, though that's based on just one review, so take it as a positive signal rather than absolute proof.

One practical note Confirm the exact charter base location and whether Palm Yachting provides airport transfer assistance or local representation, that matters if you're flying long-haul from North America or central Europe. A 2007 boat is well-maintained but not brand new, so clarify what systems have recent upgrades before you commit.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di San Vincenzo, in San Vincenzo, Italy. Gigiona is operated by Palm Yachting.

Molo F.lli Magnani

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di San Vincenzo sits on the Tuscan coast and works well as a base for exploring the Tuscan Archipelago; you can reach Elba Island in under two hours and the smaller islands of Pianosa and Montecristo within a day's sail. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping south toward the Maremma coast or north toward Portovenere, with steady thermal winds and protected anchorages throughout. The marina itself offers good facilities and puts you within striking distance of both Corsica (via Elba) and the Italian mainland coast, making it ideal if your group wants variety in scenery and sailing conditions.

Can Gigiona be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gigiona 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 Gigiona?

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.
