The Bavaria 40 Cruiser is a stylish and spacious monohull sailboat known for its sleek design and comfortable accommodations. With a length of approximately 40 feet, this cruising yacht offers a perfect balance of performance and comfort for sailors looking to explore the waters with ease.

Featuring a well-appointed interior with ample headroom and storage space, the Bavaria 40 Cruiser provides a cozy and inviting living space for extended trips on the water. The layout typically includes multiple cabins, a fully-equipped galley, a comfortable saloon area, and a modern bathroom.

On deck, the Bavaria 40 Cruiser boasts a well-designed cockpit that is ideal for both relaxing and sailing. The yacht is equipped with efficient sail handling systems and user-friendly controls, making it easy to handle even for solo sailors or small crews.

Overall, the Bavaria 40 Cruiser is a popular choice for those seeking a versatile and reliable monohull sailboat for cruising adventures, whether for a weekend getaway or a longer voyage.

Ideal for couples or small families. The Bavaria 40 Cruiser is a solid mid-range cruising boat that suits groups of 4, 6 looking for comfort without breaking the bank. Three cabins and reasonable headroom make it practical for week-long island-hopping or coastal exploration.

Well-equipped for independence. Solar panels, inverter, and an electric toilet mean you're not entirely reliant on shore power, great for anchoring in quieter spots. The bow thruster, autopilot, and chart plotter take the stress out of tight anchorages and longer passages, while the bimini and sprayhood keep sun and spray manageable.

Solid value proposition. At 2013 with sensible cruising gear included, this Bavaria represents fair value for a week's charter in the Mediterranean or similar warm-water region. The €1,500 deposit is refreshingly reasonable, suggesting the operator trusts their fleet.

One practical note: We don't have the charter base location listed, so confirm flight connections and transfer time from your nearest international airport before booking, that can make or break a long-haul trip for a week afloat.

The marina & destination

Based at Nydri Port, in Nydri, Greece. Daidalos is operated by Amfitriti Discovery .

Why this is a great starting point

Nydri Port sits on Lefkada's east coast and offers immediate access to the Ionian Islands' most sheltered cruising grounds, with the string of islands running south (Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos) easily reached in light afternoon winds. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping between these protected anchorages and exploring the narrow channels around Meganisi, which suit newer sailors and those avoiding heavy swell. The port itself is well-equipped with fuel and provisioning, making it practical for longer charters heading further south towards Kefalonia or Ithaca by mid-week.

Can Daidalos be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Daidalos 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 Daidalos?

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.
