What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
22 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 family choice This Bavaria 44 suits groups and families wanting comfortable, easy sailing without breaking the bank. With 4 cabins and berths for 10, you've got flexibility for mixed-age crews or two families sharing costs.
Well-equipped vessel She's genuinely thoughtful for cruising: air-con and heating mean year-round comfort, solar panels plus an inverter keep you independent, and the bow thruster makes tight anchorages stress-free. The teak cockpit and bimini top make those long afternoons genuinely pleasant.
Solid value proposition At €2,130/week with a modest €1,500 deposit, this boat offers real bang for money, especially if you're splitting the cost across multiple cabins. The gear list (autopilot, chart plotter, dinghy included) means fewer surprise hire fees.
Age worth noting She's 20 years old, which isn't a deal-breaker for a charter yacht, but do clarify the condition of systems like air-con and the engine during your pre-charter survey. Ask Amfitriti Discovery directly about recent servicing, that'll give you peace of mind before flying out.
