What KateBot thinks
KateBot generated · ~200 words
17 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.
Who it suits
This Bavaria 40 is perfect for couples or two friends wanting an intimate, fully-equipped sailing escape without the commitment of a larger vessel. The single cabin with just 2 berths keeps things cosy, so it's not designed for families or larger groups.
Standout features
You're getting serious cruising kit here, water maker and ice maker mean genuine self-sufficiency, while the teak deck, solar panels, and modern electronics (radar, autopilot, bow thruster) suggest this boat has been well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped. Air conditioning and heating make her comfortable year-round, which is genuinely useful in Mediterranean charter bases.
Value for money
At 2009 with 11.8 metres, this is a solid mid-sized cruiser that punches above its weight in terms of onboard systems. The zero deposit is a nice touch that reduces upfront costs. Without seeing the weekly rate, it's hard to judge absolute value, but the spec suggests good bang for your buck if you're after independence and comfort.
Honest caveat
One cabin on a 40-footer is a pretty niche layout, you'll want to be genuinely comfortable with your sailing partner before committing to a week aboard. Also, with no base location listed, you'll want to confirm where she's moored and factor in your international travel logistics to reach her.

Where Charters Went
Yacht charter overnight stops in Mykonos and Syros
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Mykonos and Syros 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.
