Eveline (Bavaria 44 (Refit 2023))

Ideal for groups This Bavaria 44 suits families or friends after a spacious four-cabin cruiser without breaking the bank. At €2,138 per week, you're getting solid value for eight berths and a proven platform that's been charted reliably since 2003.

Well-equipped essentials The boat ticks practical boxes: autopilot and bow thruster make single-handed sailing easier, heating keeps you comfortable in shoulder seasons, and the swimming platform is perfect for Med anchorages. You've got a radio-CD for entertainment and solid refrigeration for provisioning longer passages.

Money-smart choice For the price point, this Bavaria delivers dependable mid-range comfort, no luxury finishes, but everything works and the layout maximises sleeping space, which matters when splitting costs across four cabins. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for this size and age.

One practical note The 2003 build means systems are solid but dated, don't expect modern navigation or infotainment integration, so bring backup charts and your own music. Check with Sailmarine about the exact base location, as that'll dictate your flight connection logistics from the UK or Europe.
