What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
20 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.
Perfect for families This 39-footer suits groups of 4, 7 looking for a relaxed, crewed experience without the responsibility of self-skippered sailing. With three cabins, a professional crew on board, and solid mid-range comfort, it's ideal for mixed-age gatherings or friends who want someone else handling the navigation.
Well-equipped and practical The Bavaria 39 comes with the essentials: autopilot, chart plotter, bow thruster for tight anchorages, and a dinghy for exploring. A bimini top and cockpit speakers add pleasant cruising touches, though this isn't a luxury vessel, think honest, honest cruising rather than five-star pampering.
Decent value proposition At €4,500 per week with crew included, you're looking at roughly €640 per person for a week's sailing (based on six guests), which is genuinely reasonable for a fully staffed charter. The low €1,000 deposit also signals confidence from the operator.
One practical note The 2006 build age is entirely respectable for a cruiser of this type, but you'll want to confirm the base location and exact itinerary with the operator beforehand, the listing shows "Demo version," so clarify availability, seasonal operation, and your actual destination before booking.

Where Charters WentTop Stop: Meganisi, 59% of trips
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Lefkas, the Inland Sea and Kefalonia during the 2025 season. 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.
Meganisi was the most common first night out, at 37% of trips with a recorded first night. On 62% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 20 to 40 nm, measured in a straight line.
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 Lefkas, the Inland Sea and Kefalonia for this type of boat.
