The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for smaller groups This 2025 Bavaria 38 suits couples, small families, or friends looking for a manageable sailing experience without the cost of a larger vessel. With 3 cabins sleeping 7, it's comfortable for intimate charters without feeling cramped or over-crewed.
Smart modern touches The solar panels are genuinely useful for extended time at anchor, and the bow thruster makes single-handed maneuvering in tight spots far less stressful than older boats this size. You've also got snorkeling kit and a dinghy included, plus cockpit speakers to enjoy your charter properly, these aren't always standard.
Solid value proposition At €3,886 per week with a reasonable €2,000 deposit, this Bavaria punches above its weight for the price. It's new enough to feel modern and reliable, yet Bavaria's reputation means parts and service are straightforward across most Mediterranean and Atlantic bases.
One practical note The operator has just 3 reviews with a 4.3 rating, so track record is still building, worth checking recent client feedback before committing, especially if you're flying long-haul to reach the base. Do confirm briefing quality and support responsiveness given this is a newer operator.

Based at Mandraki Port, in Rhodes, Greece. AF-B38R is operated by AF Yachting.
Mandraki Port sits on Rhodes' northern coast, giving you immediate access to the southern Dodecanese islands; week one typically involves easy day hops to Symi, Tilos, and Nisyros, with consistent northerly winds supporting southeast passages. The sheltered harbour works well for provisioning and equipment checks before heading further south towards the Turkish coast or west into the central Aegean. This location suits sailors wanting protected anchorages and short sea-states while building confidence after a long flight.
