SailChecker Expert View

Perfect starter choice This 2023 Bavaria 38 is ideal if you're new to sailing or want a manageable boat for a small group—three cabins sleeping up to six works well for families or friends without feeling cramped. At 11.4 metres, it's responsive and fun to sail without demanding expert-level handling.

Smart practical touches The lazy bag and lazy jack are genuine time-savers that reduce setup fuss, while onboard heating makes shoulder-season charters comfortable—especially useful if you're flying in from northern Europe or the UK. This is a modern, well-equipped boat that handles the basics really well.

Solid value proposition A 2023 Bavaria at this specification typically offers good return on investment for a week's charter, and the €2,500 deposit is reasonable. You're getting a contemporary, reliable platform without paying premium prices for a larger or more exotic vessel.

One limitation to note The operator has only one review on file, so there's limited public track record to assess service quality, response times, or how they handle the inevitable bumps that come with boat ownership. Before booking, it's worth asking direct questions about their maintenance schedule and how they've managed this particular yacht in its first season.

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