Perfect for groups The Bavaria 42 is an excellent choice if you're flying in with family or friends—three cabins comfortably sleep eight, and the 2023 build means everything feels modern and well-maintained. This is a sociable boat that rewards larger parties without feeling cramped.

Standout comfort features You get the creature comforts that matter: a generator, inverter, and solar panels mean you'll have plenty of power for air-con and refrigeration even at anchor. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood protect you from sun and spray, while autopilot and bow thruster take the stress out of handling—great if your group includes less experienced sailors.

Solid value proposition At this length and specification level, the Bavaria 42 offers reassuring reliability without breaking the bank. The €1,500 deposit is reasonable, and Vela Charter's fleet suggests established operations, though you'll want to confirm the exact base location and seasonal pricing before comparing quotes.

One practical note We don't have the base location in the data here, so check where Vela Charter operates before booking—that will determine your flight time from the UK, US, or mainland Europe. It's worth confirming transfer logistics and whether local English-speaking support is available.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Stabia, in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy. Olivia is operated by Vela Charter.

Can Olivia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Olivia 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 Olivia?

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.
