What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
22 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Solid mid-range choice The Bavaria 38 Match is a dependable cruiser that suits couples and small families wanting comfortable sailing without breaking the bank. With two cabins sleeping six, it's ideal if you're splitting costs with another couple or bringing teenagers along.
Practical standout features This boat comes well-equipped for modern cruising: dual chart plotters keep navigation straightforward, solar panels help with power independence, and the sprayhood plus bimini mean you've got shade and weather protection in the cockpit. Wi-Fi and internet access is genuinely useful for staying connected during your charter.
Good value proposition At 2004 build with a modest €1,050 deposit, this represents honest value, you're getting a proven design with sensible systems rather than flashy bells and whistles. The dual charting redundancy is a practical touch that speaks to thoughtful outfitting.
One realistic note At 11.4 metres, she's not overly spacious for six people on a longer week, so expect cosy cabin life rather than luxury. Confirm exactly which base you're sailing from (it's blank in the listing) so you can factor in realistic airport transfers and crew logistics from your departure point.

Where Charters Went
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Rogoznica and Primošten during the 2026 season so far. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Maslinica appeared on 26% of trips, Uvala Stonca on 25% and ACI Palmižana on 22%. Maslinica also led first nights at 12% and last nights at 8%. The furthest straight-line point from base was 20 to 40 nm on 51% of trips.
Use the recorded stops as a starting point for your charter plans. The full map gives you more to compare, and you can ask us about a route from Rogoznica and Primošten for this type of boat.
