Ideal for couples and families The Bavaria 38 Cruiser suits small families or two couples wanting comfort without breaking the bank. With three cabins and modern 2023 build, everyone gets their own sleeping space, which makes longer trips stress-free.

Well-equipped and practical You're getting genuinely useful features here, electric winches, autopilot, bow thruster, and a sprayhood all make sailing easier and less physically demanding. The teak cockpit and bimini are nice touches for relaxation, and Wi-Fi onboard means you can stay connected if needed.

Excellent value proposition At €2,550 per week from a Spain-based operator, this is competitive pricing for a modern, three-cabin cruiser. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and First Class Sailing Spain has a solid reputation for professionalism, which matters when you're flying long-haul from the UK, US, or mainland Europe.

One honest note An 11.4-metre Bavaria is a capable cruiser, but she's not a powerhouse, expect moderate sailing performance in light winds. If you're an experienced sailor wanting an adrenaline-charged week, you might find her a touch leisurely, but for a relaxed cruise with manageable effort, she's spot on.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Naviera Balear, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Levante is operated by First Class Sailing Spain.

Av. de Gabriel Roca, s/n

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Naviera Balear in Palma provides straightforward access to the Balearic Islands' protected anchorages and moderate sailing grounds. From here, week 1 typically involves short hops eastward to Cabrera National Park or south to the Dragonera Islands, with consistent northeasterly winds ideal for beginners; alternatively, experienced crews can reach Ibiza or the quieter northern anchorages around Pollensa Bay. The marina's central location on Mallorca's southern coast minimizes motor-sailing and allows you to settle into your boat while exploring Spain's most established charter cruising ground.

Can Levante be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Levante 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 Levante?

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.
