About this yacht
Furling Mainsail-Furling Genoa
SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-range choice The Bavaria 39 is a well-proven, popular cruiser that suits confident intermediate to advanced sailors wanting a manageable boat without the complexity of a larger yacht. At 12 metres with three cabins and space for six, it's ideal for two couples or a small family wanting a genuine sailing experience rather than just floating accommodation.

Practical standout features Bavaria built these boats to be tough and straightforward, you get a solid cruising platform with decent headroom and reasonable cabin separation for privacy. The 2006 build age means systems are proven and spare parts aren't exotic, which matters when you're chartering long-distance from home.

Fair value proposition At €1,800 per week with a modest €1,500 deposit, this represents realistic pricing for a three-cabin sailboat in that era. You're not paying premium rates, but you're also getting an honest boat rather than a bargain basement surprise, good middle ground for a week's holiday.

One honest note A 2006 yacht is approaching 20 years old, so you'll want to inspect systems (electrics, engine, standing rigging) carefully before committing. Nothing alarming, but factor in that you may encounter the occasional quirk during your charter that a newer boat wouldn't throw at you.

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