What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
26 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 groups This Bavaria 42 sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long adventure. At €1,575/week, you're looking at roughly €200 per person for accommodation alone, genuinely good value for a bareboat of this size.
Well-equipped workhorse Stilvi comes with practical essentials: autopilot, chart plotter, and solar panels mean less faffing about, while the dinghy, snorkeling kit, and bimini cover make for comfortable cruising in warm water. The sprayhood and cockpit speakers add real comfort for longer days at sea.
Age consideration Built in 2000, this boat is over two decades old, not ancient for a Bavaria, but worth asking More Yachting about recent refits and engine hours. At this price point you're trading newer finishes for genuine affordability, which is fair, but factor in a pre-charter survey.
Solid operator choice More Yachting holds a 5-star rating (albeit from just one review), so dig deeper into their feedback before committing. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and their English-speaking support will matter when you're flying in from the US or UK.
