Solid mid-range cruiser The Bavaria 40 is a proven, comfortable cruising platform — this 2012 build offers reliable offshore capability without unnecessary complexity. At 12.3m with three cabins and six berths, it's well-sized for a small group or family wanting decent space below deck without the maintenance headaches of a larger yacht.

Practical setup You're getting a boat that handles well in various conditions and won't demand constant fiddling; the Bavaria line was designed for owner-operators and charter guests alike. The three-cabin layout means you won't be cramped, and six berths gives flexibility whether you're two couples or a family with teenagers.

Value assessment With only a €2,000 deposit and Lycian Sail's perfect 5/5 rating (albeit from just two reviews), the economics look reasonable — though we'd suggest checking current weekly rates directly, as pricing isn't shown here. For a 2012 boat, condition and maintenance history matter significantly, so ask the operator about recent upgrades and survey results.

Minor consideration The operator information is minimal — Lycian Sail's base location isn't specified in your data, which matters if you're coordinating flights and transfers from Europe or the US. Confirm exactly where you'll collect the boat and factor in any ground transfers; most Turkish bases are accessible but not always as streamlined as Mediterranean hubs like Athens or Split.

The marina & destination

Based at Ece Marina, in Fethiye, Turkey. Mayla is operated by Lycian Sail.

Karagözler, Fevzi Cakmak Cd.

Can Mayla be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Mayla 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 Mayla?

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.
