SailChecker note

19 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 family choice The Bavaria 39 is a well-proven cruiser that suits families or groups of up to eight looking for comfortable, hassle-free sailing. Three cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy, and the 12-metre length keeps her manageable for mixed-ability crews without sacrificing living space.

Thoughtful spec Dimitra comes nicely equipped for extended cruising: solar panels and a holding tank mean you can venture further from marinas, while the autopilot and electric toilet handle the admin side of things. The bimini and sprayhood protect you from sun and spray, genuinely valuable in the Med.

Strong value proposition At €2,000 per week with a reasonable €2,000 deposit, this 2007 Bavaria is competitively priced for a three-cabin boat in her class. You're getting a mature, bulletproof design that's low-maintenance and unlikely to surprise you mid-charter.

One practical note We don't have the base location details listed, so you'll want to confirm exactly where you'll pick up, some Greek bases require longer airport transfers than others, which matters if you're flying international. Once you've confirmed the port, this is a genuinely sensible choice for Aegean or Ionian cruising.
